Tapered Cylinder Mould Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-CMTE-10422
The Tapered Cylinder Mould from Tvet Equipments determines the volume change (bleeding and expansion) of grout, using a split, quick-clamping steel cylinder with a machine-tapered top rim and detachable base plate for easy specimen removal.
How It Works
Fresh grout is poured into the mould's steel cylinder, split longitudinally with two quick-acting clamps welded in place for fast opening after casting. The tapered top rim helps the specimen release cleanly once the clamps are opened, while the detachable base plate simplifies removal from below. The specimen's height or volume is monitored over time to determine the grout's volume change (bleeding or expansion) behaviour.

Applications
The Tapered Cylinder Mould is used to determine volume change (height change) of grout, following the general principle referenced in ASTM C827 (Change in Height at Early Ages of Cylindrical Specimens of Cementitious Mixtures), an important quality check for grouts used in post-tensioning ducts, ground anchors and preplaced-aggregate concrete.
