150mm Concrete Cube Mould, Hybrid Fibre Plastic
The 150mm Concrete Cube Mould, Hybrid Fibre Plastic is a mold used in concrete testing to cast standardized cube specimens measuring 150mm on each side. Crafted from a blend of fibers and plastic, it ensures strength and longevity. With a sleek interior surface, it facilitates effortless specimen removal and adheres to precise dimensions to align with testing standards. Designed for repetitive use and compatibility with common concrete testing equipment, it plays a crucial role in producing reliable concrete specimens for compressive strength analysis. One piece is moulded from a robust plastic material that is light, resistant to vibration shocks, and wear due to additionally reinforced corners designed. Require a simple clean and de-mould oil before being ready to use. The specimen can be expelled by using an air gun or de-molding cradle.

Standard: EN 12390-1, ASTM C39/C192, AASHTO T23/T126, BS 1881:108
This European standard outlines the procedures for conducting compressive strength tests, encompassing the entire process from specimen preparation to testing methods and the subsequent reporting of results. EN 12390-1 ensures a standardized approach to assessing the strength characteristics of concrete, facilitating comparability and reliability across various construction projects within Europe and beyond.
These American standards, published by ASTM International, are fundamental in the field of concrete testing. ASTM C39 delineates the procedure for determining the compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens, serving as a cornerstone for assessing the robustness of concrete structures. Meanwhile, ASTM C192 establishes the standard practice for crafting and curing concrete test specimens in laboratory settings, ensuring uniformity and accuracy in specimen preparation, a critical aspect in achieving reliable test results.
These are standards established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and play an important role in evaluating the quality and integrity of coccrete used in transportation infrastructure. AASHTO T23 specifies the methodology for fabricating and curing concrete test specimens in laboratory environments, crucial for evaluating concrete's performance under various conditions. On the other hand, AASHTO T126 focuses on the compressive strength testing of hardened concrete using cylindrical specimens, providing guidelines for conducting tests that are essential for assessing concrete's suitability for transportation projects.
This British Standard details the process of fabricating test cubes from fresh concrete and subsequently determining their compressive strength. Widely employed in the UK and other jurisdictions following British standards, BS 1881:108 ensures consistency and reliability in concrete testing practices, thereby underpinning the quality and durability of concrete structures in construction projects adhering to British standards.
