Concrete Stripping Tools
Concrete Stripping Tools
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I just started working at a soil/concrete testing lab and have been using the hand stripping tool to get concrete cylinders out of the molds (mostly 4"x8" cylinders, but also get some larger and smaller ones). Our company has had a recent influx of concrete breaks (compression tests) and i was wondering if there are any other tools that can be used to strip the molds off without damaging the cylinders (it is time consuming to strip off 150+ molds during the week). Also any advice, tips or tricks to speeding up the process of stripping the molds off would be greatly appreciated. Also, are there any ASTM or standardized specifications as to how a mold is stripped those would also be helpful. Thanks!

You will need to cover the hole when you re-use the molds to prevent water loss as required by standards.
