BRIQUETTE MOULD (SINGLE) AZA0800

Description

The AZA0800 Briquette Mould (Single) is an essential lab accessory used to mold standard cement briquettes for testing the tensile strength of cement. Constructed with high-quality gunmetal brass or mild steel, this mould ensures dimensional accuracy, long-term durability, and effortless de-moulding. It is perfect for construction material testing labs, cement factories, quality control departments, and educational institutions.

Available now at Azalab, this mould meets all dimensional specifications required by IS 4031 (Part 6) and ASTM C190, allowing you to carry out reliable, standards-compliant tests when used with compatible tensile strength testers such as the AZA 0803.

 Importance of Using a Standard Briquette Mould

The quality and uniformity of the briquette play a critical role in determining the accuracy and repeatability of tensile strength results. AZA0800 forms a dumbbell-shaped specimen, which is used to assess the adhesive strength of cement mortar. A poorly designed mould could lead to irregular shapes and flawed testing outcomes.

This mould helps you maintain quality assurance at every level—from R&D to production to on-site performance validation. It’s a vital part of a cement testing lab setup.

 How It Works

The mould consists of two interlocking halves that form a standard dumbbell-shaped cavity when assembled. Cement mortar is filled into this cavity, compacted, and allowed to set. After curing (usually 24 hours), the mould is opened to release the briquette, which is then used in tensile testing.
