Vertical Cylinder Capper— H-2952

For capping 6" dia. x 12" high (152 x 305mm) concrete test cylinders when making
compression tests. Simplifies capping process by assuring plane end surfaces are right
angles to the axis of the cylinder. The upright is a guide for positioning the cylinder.
Molten capping compound is poured into the mold (plate); then cylinder is placed on
the capping material. After the compound is set, the capped cylinder is removed for
testing. All types of capping compounds can be used with this apparatus. Capping plate
is machined and finish-ground from cold-rolled steel to within .002" (.05mm) plane-
ness. Thickness of the capping plate is 3/4" (19mm), to allow regrinding and refinishing
after considerable usage should the plate become gouged. Capping plates are round,
allowing circular rotation during use that results in uniform wearing down of contact-
ing surfaces for maximum length of service. The frame is machined from high-strength
aluminum alloy.

Complies ASTM C31, C39, C192, C617; AASHTO T22, T23, T126, T231.
