Concrete Cylinder Molds – High-Quality 4″×8″ & 6″×12″ Steel Forms

Concrete Cylinder Molds Overview

Concrete Cylinder Molds are essential tools for producing accurate, repeatable, and standardized cylindrical specimens for compressive strength testing. These premium galvanized steel Concrete Cylinder Molds, available in both 4″×8″ and 6″×12″ sizes, are engineered for laboratories and field technicians who demand durability, precision, and long-term reliability. Designed with heavy-duty materials and a user-focused structure, these molds deliver exceptional performance under frequent, ASTM-compliant testing conditions.

The purpose of high-quality Concrete Cylinder Molds is to ensure that each concrete specimen maintains consistent geometry, uniform density, and a flawless surface finish. High-quality specimens are critical to obtaining accurate compressive strength results that reflect real-world concrete performance. By using Concrete Cylinder Molds built to superior standards, laboratories and construction professionals reduce the risk of specimen failure, geometric distortion, or inaccurate readings.

Key Features of the Concrete Cylinder Molds

1. Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel Construction

The Concrete Cylinder Molds are constructed from thick, 6 mm (¼”) galvanized steel to provide maximum rigidity during casting and curing. This robust construction ensures that the molds do not deform under vibration, handling, or repeated use. The solid split-wall design facilitates effortless opening and closing, enabling users to remove cured specimens without causing damage to the concrete surface.

2. Split-Wall Design for Clean Specimen Removal

Each Concrete Cylinder Mold features a precision-aligned split-wall structure. This allows the technician to easily disengage the mold after curing, protecting the specimen’s integrity and ensuring it meets dimensional requirements under ASTM C31, ASTM C39, and other related standards. The smooth internal surface further enhances specimen finish while minimizing concrete adherence.

3. Secure Base Plate for Proper Sealing

A detachable, heavy-duty base plate is included with every Concrete Cylinder Mold. This ensures a leak-proof seal during casting, preventing moisture loss or slurry leakage, both of which can compromise specimen strength. The secure plate alignment maintains the cylinder’s dimensional accuracy from top to bottom.

4. Quick-Acting Clamps for Fast Setup

To improve workflow efficiency, the Concrete Cylinder Molds are equipped with quick-acting clamps. These clamps maintain a tight seal throughout the casting process and can be disengaged instantly when specimen removal is required. This speeds up testing procedures while ensuring that each cylinder is cast under uniform and controlled conditions.

5. Ergonomic Welded Handle for Safe Handling

Each Concrete Cylinder Mold includes a sturdy, 7 mm (¼”) welded steel handle to promote safe and ergonomic handling. This added convenience benefits both laboratory teams and field operators, especially when handling molds filled with heavy, freshly mixed concrete.
