Description

Concrete Beam Mould

The concrete beam mould from SV Technocrats India in Pune allows civil engineering laboratories and construction material testing facilities to cast precise concrete specimens for flexural strength evaluation. Engineered specifically to comply with IS: 516, ASTM C78, and BS 1881 standards, this essential laboratory apparatus guarantees consistent test specimen dimensions. As a premier manufacturer in Maharashtra, SV Technocrats India delivers heavy-duty, highly durable testing equipment for civil infrastructure projects.

What is a Concrete Beam Mould?

A concrete beam mould is a heavy-duty cast iron or steel mold designed to prepare rectangular concrete beams for flexure testing. By securing high-strength side plates with rigid base clamps, operators cast concrete samples that withstand rigorous third-point or center-point loading tests. Consequently, quality control laboratories across India depend on this precision equipment to evaluate the modulus of rupture and load-bearing capacity of pavement concrete.

Technical Specifications and Types

This precision testing mold comes in standard industrial dimensions to suit diverse testing regulations:

  • 100 × 100 × 500 mm Mould: Ideal for general concrete mix testing under IS: 516 specifications.

  • 150 × 150 × 700 mm Mould: Designed for high-strength pavement concrete and heavy civil infrastructure testing.

  • 40 × 40 × 160 mm Mould: Perfect for cement mortar beam testing following ASTM C78 and ASTM C293 standards.

  • Rigid Structural Construction: Manufactured from heavy-duty cast iron or forged steel to resist deformation during vibration.

  • Leak-Proof Clamping System: Features precision-machined side plates with quick-release wing nuts and handles for smooth demoulding.

Step-by-Step Testing Procedure

Preparing concrete specimens using the concrete beam mould involves a simple, standardized testing workflow:

  1. Mould Preparation: Apply a thin layer of release oil onto all internal surfaces to prevent concrete adhesion.

  2. Casting & Compaction: Pour the fresh concrete mix into two equal layers, compacting each layer using a tamping rod or vibrating table.

  3. Surface Leveling & Curing: Smooth the top surface with a trowel, store the specimen at standard ambient temperature for 24 hours, and then cure the beam in water.

  4. Flexural Loading Test: Mount the cured concrete specimen onto a flexural testing machine to evaluate ultimate flexural strength.
