The cylinder splitting head has a bearing contact area of 12” (304 mm) long by 2” (50 mm) wide, its surface is machined plane to .001” (.025 mm) and has a scribed center line of the face of the bar for easier centering of test samples.

An optional splitter spacer assembly bolts to the top of the fixture, to allow testing of 4" x 8" cylinders.
