About Linear Shrinkage Mould

Linear Shrinkage Mould

A simple mould which is filled with the soil under test. This is then dried and the resulting decrease os length of the specimen measured is expressed as the linear shrinkage. It is 25mm Dia. x 12.5mm Height x 140mm Length.

Robust Construction and Reliable Performance

Crafted from premium mild steel, gunmetal, or brass, the Linear Shrinkage Mould offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Its smooth, polished surface ensures effortless specimen removal, while the screwed clamping mechanism secures consistent specimen preparation for accurate and repeatable results.

Versatile Laboratory Applications

Designed for use in civil engineering, soil testing, and geotechnical laboratories, this mould accommodates up to three specimens simultaneously. Its standardized dimensions and measurement accuracy make it an essential tool for evaluating soil behavior and quality, supporting a wide variety of engineering and research projects.

FAQs of Linear Shrinkage Mould:

Q: How does the Linear Shrinkage Mould assist in soil testing applications?

A: The Linear Shrinkage Mould enables the precise measurement of shrinkage in soil specimens, which is a critical parameter in civil engineering and geotechnical studies. By accurately documenting length changes as the soil dries, it aids professionals in assessing soil quality and suitability for construction projects.

Q: What is the process of using the mould to prepare test specimens?

A: To use the mould, fill each of the three polished grooves with soil and secure the end plates using the screwed clamping system. After the specimen is set, remove it easily thanks to the smooth polished surface. The mould accommodates simultaneous preparation of three samples for efficient laboratory workflow.

Q: When should the Linear Shrinkage Mould be used during geotechnical investigations?

A: The Linear Shrinkage Mould is typically employed when assessing the shrinkage characteristics of soils, often during the classification phase of site investigations or material quality control to predict potential soil movement post-construction.

Q: Where can this mould be utilized effectively?

A: This Linear Shrinkage Mould is ideal for use in civil engineering research facilities, geotechnical laboratories, soil testing centers, and academic institutions involved in material analysis and quality control.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this Linear Shrinkage Mould?

A: Key advantages include high dimensional accuracy (0.1 mm), the capacity to prepare three specimens at once, robust material construction for reliability, and a polished surface for easy specimen removal, facilitating repeated and consistent tests.

Q: How accurate are the measurements provided by this equipment?

A: The Linear Shrinkage Mould provides measurement accuracy up to 0.1 mm, ensuring results you can depend on for critical engineering analyses and compliance with relevant testing standards.
