Shrinkage Bar Mould – For Determination of Drying Shrinkage of Cement and Concrete

The Shrinkage Bar Mould is a precision-engineered apparatus used to determine the drying shrinkage and length change properties of cement, mortar, and concrete. It is an essential instrument in cement testing laboratories for evaluating volume stability and dimensional changes during the curing and drying process.

Manufactured from high-quality mild steel or stainless steel, the mould is accurately machined to ensure perfect alignment and dimensional accuracy. It typically consists of a mould assembly with reference studs at each end to measure length changes precisely using a length comparator. The design conforms to IS: 4031 (Part 10), ASTM C151, and BS standards, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
