Beam molds are essential tools in construction testing, used to measure the flexural strength of concrete, a critical property for structures exposed to moving loads. From airport runways to highway pavements, knowing how to make and use beam molds properly helps ensure your concrete performs under stress.
Why Flexural Strength Matters in Construction
When concrete is subjected to moving loads, such as airplanes landing or cars crossing bridges, it needs

Concrete slump cone testing plays a vital role in determining the workability of fresh concrete. As construction demands grow, choosing the right equipment becomes even more essential. If you're still using outdated tools, it's time to consider an upgrade. The plastic slump cone from Deslauriers offers reliable, ASTM C143-compliant testing with greater durability and value than steel alternatives. Here's why it’s becoming the go-to choice for job sites and labs across the industry.

Grout is an essential construction product used to strengthen and stabilize granite tiles, cement blocks, and other masonry. This cementitious substance also provides load distribution properties and reinforcement for steel that is placed into masonry. When working with grout before and during the construction process, you want to ensure that the grout is at its highest quality based on construction material standards.

Concrete testing is essential to ensuring strong construction and safe foundations throughout the construction industry. Depending on the mixture and its intended use, some cylinder or block samples can go through 64 weeks or more of extended testing. The cylinders may need to be lifted dozens of times onto various testing machines until the process is completed. Testing technicians can easily develop acute strain injuries if they’re handling these samples by hand alone. Ergonomic concrete test cylinder lifting handles protect your staff and help them get through more tests in a single day. Yet if you try to choose a beam specimen lifting handle by cost alone, you’ll end up with a tool that can’t withstand the challenges of regular exposure to corrosive elements. Consider the durability, ease of use, security of the grip, and options for storage between use when selecting concrete testing equipment such as lifting handles.
