Home Ā» Gang Mould

A Gang Mould is a high-quality laboratory mould used to prepare multiple test specimens of cement, mortar, or concrete simultaneously. It ensures uniform size, shape, and finish, making it an essential tool in construction material testing laboratories and civil engineering research.

Purpose and Function

The Gang Mould is primarily used for casting cement mortar cubes or cement prism samples that are later tested for compressive and tensile strength. Its precise dimensions help maintain standard testing conditions as defined by ASTM, BS, and IS specifications. This allows consistent and reliable comparison of test results between different batches.

Design and Construction

  • Made from cast iron or mild steel, ensuring strength and durability
  • Typically available in 3-gang or 6-gang moulds
  • Includes brass or stainless-steel plates for accurate alignment
  • Features leak-proof joints and a smooth inner surface for easy demoulding
  • Rigid clamps hold all sections tightly to prevent leakage during pouring

Each cavity of the Gang Mould forms a cube or prism of standard size — usually 70.6 mm, 50 mm, or 40 mm depending on the test standard.

Key Features

  • Produces multiple uniform test samples at once
  • Corrosion-resistant and long-lasting construction
  • Easy to assemble, clean, and maintain
  • Accurate dimensions for repeatable test results
  • Suitable for laboratory and field testing environments

Applications

Gang Moulds are widely used in:

  • Cement and concrete testing laboratories

  • Construction material research

  • Educational institutions and civil engineering labs

  • Quality control departments in construction projects

These moulds help determine the compressive strength, setting time, and curing performance of various cement and mortar compositions.

Maintenance and Care

After each use, clean the Gang Mould thoroughly with a brush and light oil to prevent rusting. Regular lubrication of joints and clamps ensures long service life and smooth operation.
