Cylinder Capping Sandbox Method Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-CTE-10468
The Cylinder Capping Sandbox Method apparatus prepares concrete cylinder specimen ends for compression testing without capping compound, using a mechanical locking and specimen-guide system with a two-box centering stopper integral to the frame's horizontal plane, achieving 0.5mm perpendicularity accuracy.
How It Works
The cylinder is located and centred by the specimen-guide and centring-stopper system, and the mechanical locking mechanism holds it firmly in a fixed, controlled position relative to the frame's reference plane while the end-preparation process is carried out; some configurations include a small vibrating platform to assist the process. Because there is no capping compound to melt, mix, or cure, specimens can be prepared and moved on to compression testing without the additional curing time a sulfur-mortar or gypsum cap would need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What perpendicularity accuracy does this apparatus achieve?
0.5 mm, per its mechanical locking and centring-stopper design.
Does this method need any consumable capping compound?
No — it is a mechanical, compound-free end-preparation method, unlike sulfur-mortar or gypsum capping which need a consumable compound and a curing period.
Does this apparatus have a capacity limit on the cylinders it can prepare?
Tvet Equipments states it can be used for cylinder capping sample preparation without limitation on compression strength; confirm the exact cylinder size range supported with Tvet Equipments for your specific specimens.
