Used to produce the mortar specimens for compression and flexural tests. Made from special alloy steel, they are proposed in two version:
Standard having a minimum surface hardness of HV200 and
Heavy duty having a minimum surface hardness of HV400 which is recommended by the EN standards. Furthermore, this model is surface protected by a rust inhibitor treatment and is supplied complete with traceable certificate of conformity and identified by a serial number.
Both models can be fit with the type B measuring pegs for determining the coefficient of thermal expansion conforming to EN 1770.
