Cylindrical Mould (Product Code: SLE/CE/04) is a cast iron mould, split vertically into two halves, used to cast cylindrical concrete specimens for strength testing in civil engineering and construction material laboratories. Five sizes run from 100 mm dia x 200 mm to 300 mm dia x 600 mm, with the mean internal diameter held within ±0.2 mm and base and top plates machined flat to ±0.03 mm. The mould is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of lab equipment for technical institutes, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Where a specification calls for cylinders instead of cubes, this mould produces them. The two halves are clamped together on the base plate, the inside is lightly oiled, and fresh concrete is placed and compacted in layers before the top is finished level. Once the concrete has set, the halves are separated so the cylinder comes out without chipping its edges, ready for curing and then compression or other strength tests.
The 150 x 300 mm and 100 x 200 mm sizes give the usual height-to-diameter ratio of two, the 150 x 150 mm mould gives a short cylinder, and the large 300 x 600 mm mould suits concrete made with bigger aggregate. Keep the machined joint faces clean so the halves close tightly and the specimen stays true to size.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this cylindrical mould. Casting halves, base plates and top plates are machined and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and the finished moulds are shipped factory-direct to colleges, polytechnics, commercial testing laboratories, dealers and importers.

What sizes of Cylindrical Mould are available?
The Cylindrical Mould is made in five sizes (diameter x height): 100 x 200 mm, 150 x 150 mm, 150 x 300 mm, 160 x 320 mm and 300 x 600 mm. State the size and quantity you need so we can prepare the quotation.
Why is the cylindrical mould split into two parts?
The Cylindrical Mould is split vertically into two halves so the hardened concrete cylinder can be released by opening the mould instead of pushing it out, which protects the specimen's edges and surfaces before curing and testing.
What dimensional tolerances does the mould hold?
The Cylindrical Mould keeps its mean internal diameter within ±0.2 mm and its height within ±1 mm, with the ends machined to a ±0.05 tolerance and the base and top plates machined flat to ±0.03 mm.
What material is the Cylindrical Mould made from?
The Cylindrical Mould is made of cast iron, a rigid material that holds its shape during compaction. Clean the mould and apply a thin film of oil after use to protect the machined surfaces from rust between casts.
Who manufactures the Cylindrical Mould?
The Cylindrical Mould is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions, laboratories, dealers and importers.
Are the base plate and top plate included?
The Cylindrical Mould specification covers a base plate and a top plate, each machined flat to ±0.03 mm. Please confirm plate inclusion for your chosen size when you request a quotation through the contact page.
Can cylindrical moulds be supplied in bulk or for export?
Yes, the Cylindrical Mould can be ordered in quantity by colleges, contractors, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send each size and quantity, plus the delivery city or port, and the manufacturer will quote directly.
