Abstract
This specification deals with molds for forming concrete test cylinders vertically. Molds shall be constructed in the
form of right circular cylinders and have a nominal inside height equal to twice the nominal inside diameter. The
following are types of molds covered: reusable molds and single-use molds. Reusable molds shall be made of
nonabsorptive materials and shall be tested for water leakage. Single-use molds may be made of sheet metal,
plastic, suitably treated paper products, or other materials. These materials shall conform to the following
requirements: water leakage, absorptivity, and elongation. The following are additional requirements for the types of
single-use molds: plastic moldwall thickness, bottom design, and material; paper moldsside walls, bottom caps,
and waterproofing; and sheet metal moldsmetal thickness, bottom design, top edge, and coating. Test for
elongation, absorption, and water leakage shall also be performed.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the
standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any
warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or
up to date.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers molds for use in forming cylindrical concrete specimens. The provisions of this
specification include the requirements for both reusable and single-use molds.
NOTE 1: Sizes included are molds having diameters from 50 mm [2 in.] to 900 mm [36 in.].
1.2 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and
footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values
stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the
other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. The inchpound units are shown in brackets.
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method described in this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
