What are the benefits of the 4-part design?

The 4-part design allows for easier assembly and, more importantly, simpler and cleaner demoulding of the hardened concrete cube without damaging the specimen.

Troubleshooting

Concrete sticking to the mould walls

Ensure the mould was adequately prepared with mold release oil or agent prior to pouring. Clean the mould thoroughly after each use to remove any residual concrete that could cause sticking.

Difficulty in assembling the mould

Check that all four sections and the base plate are clean and free from debris. Ensure the clamping mechanism is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Align the parts carefully.

Specimen shows surface imperfections

Verify that the internal surfaces of the mould are smooth and free from damage or debris. Ensure the concrete was vibrated properly during casting to remove air voids.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The 4-part mould is designed for straightforward assembly. Ensure all four sections fit snugly together, and the base plate is securely clamped before pouring concrete. Align the parts carefully to create a seamless inner surface.

Compatibility:

This mould is compatible with standard concrete mixes and testing procedures that adhere to BS1881 Part 108, EN12390-1, and ISO1920 standards. It is suitable for use with most laboratory or site-based concrete compression testing machines.

Care:

  • After each use, thoroughly clean the mould with water and a stiff brush to remove all concrete residue. Pay close attention to the internal surfaces and the clamping mechanism.
  • Dry the mould completely after cleaning to prevent rust.
  • A light application of mold release oil can be applied to the internal surfaces before pouring concrete to aid demoulding and extend the mould's lifespan, but ensure it does not contaminate the concrete sample itself.
  • Store the mould in a dry environment when not in use.
