What Is the Capping Set Vertical Used For?
A compression test needs cylinder ends that are plane and at right angles to the axis, otherwise the load is not spread evenly over the specimen. With this set, molten capping compound is poured from the ladle into the recess of the capping plate, and the cylinder, handled with the carrier, is lowered against the upright so that it sits square on the plate while the compound hardens into a thin cap. The cylinder is then turned over and its other end is capped in the same way; the standards listed for it are IS : 516 1959 and BS 1881-120.
