3. Usage and Benefits

Step-by-Step Usage:

1. Preparation: Apply a release agent to the mold’s interior to prevent adhesion of the concrete.
2. Filling: Gradually pour the concrete mix into the mold in three layers, compacting each layer with a tamping rod to eliminate air pockets.
3. Leveling: Smooth the top surface with a trowel for uniformity.
4. Curing: Place the filled mold in a controlled curing environment or a water tank to achieve proper hydration.
5. Extraction: Once the specimen has hardened, carefully release the mold to retrieve the concrete cube for testing.

Advantages:

• Portability: The lightweight design ensures easy transport between sites and laboratories.
• Ease of Use: Simplified filling, compacting, and extraction processes save time and reduce labor.
• Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for frequent use.
• Accuracy: Produces consistent specimens that meet industry standards for compressive strength testing.

Problem-Solving Benefits:
This mold addresses challenges like cumbersome handling of heavier molds and difficulties in cleaning, ensuring a streamlined testing process.
