Cast Iron Beam Moulds Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-CTE-10475
Cast Iron Beam Moulds are rigid, precision cast-iron moulds used to cast concrete beam specimens for flexural strength testing, offered in four standard internal sizes to suit different beam lengths and maximum aggregate sizes.
How It Works
Fresh concrete is placed and compacted into the mould (by tamping or vibration) to cast a beam specimen of precise, repeatable dimensions with true, parallel faces. After the specified curing period, the beam is demoulded and cured further (typically in a water curing tank) until its test age, when it is loaded to failure in a flexural (bending) test to determine the concrete's flexural strength (modulus of rupture).

Applications
Used to cast standard-size concrete beam specimens for flexural strength (modulus of rupture) testing per ASTM C31, ASTM C192, IS 516, and EN 12390-1, with the 100mm and 150mm cross-section sizes covering the common maximum-aggregate-size ranges specified by these standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which beam size should be used for a given mix?
The governing standard (ASTM C31/C192, IS 516) links minimum beam cross-section to the maximum aggregate size in the mix — larger aggregate requires the larger 150 x 150mm cross-section moulds rather than the 100 x 100mm size.
What is beam length used for versus cross-section?
The 400/500mm lengths pair with the 100 x 100mm cross-section, and the 600/750mm lengths pair with the 150 x 150mm cross-section, giving the correct support and loading spans for third-point or centre-point flexural testing.
What happens to the beam after casting?
It is cured (typically in a water curing tank) until its scheduled test age, then loaded to failure in a flexural testing machine or flexural frame to determine its modulus of rupture.
