ESE-074 – CBR Mould

The CBR Mould is a crucial tool used in the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test, a standardized method employed to evaluate the strength of subgrade soil or aggregate materials. The CBR test is commonly used in the design of pavements, roads, and runways, helping engineers assess the load-bearing capacity of soils or materials. The CBR Mould serves as a container to hold the soil sample during the test, which simulates the penetration of a piston into the soil under controlled conditions to measure its resistance.

Key Features:

1. Durable Construction: The CBR Mould is typically made of high-quality steel or other durable materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to corrosion.
2. Accurate Dimensions: The mould is precisely designed to hold a specific volume of soil or aggregate sample, ensuring that the CBR test results are accurate and reproducible.
3. Standardized Design: Built to conform to industry standards, the CBR Mould meets the requirements set by organizations like ASTM and IS codes, ensuring the reliability and consistency of test results.
4. Easy to Use: The mould is designed for simplicity, allowing easy sample preparation, placement, and removal for testing purposes.
5. Versatility: It can be used for testing a variety of soil types, including cohesive and granular soils, to evaluate their bearing capacity for different engineering applications.
6. Compatibility with Other Test Equipment: The CBR Mould is designed to work seamlessly with other test equipment such as CBR testing machines, penetration pistons, and compaction tools, facilitating smooth and efficient testing procedures.
