6" Pad Caps, 50 Duro

Our pad-cap retainer rings hold neoprene pads that fit into the ends of concrete test cylinders. Made from plated high-alloy steel to resist rust and deformation fatigue. Bearing surfaces machine-planed to within 0.002". Supplied two per set.

These neoprene pad inserts are made from a tough elastomeric material that evens out and fills irregularities in the ends of concrete cylinders to assure even distribution of test loads for consistent results.
