Two-Part Vacuum Split Molds

The Two-Part Vacuum Split Mold is an essential accessory when preparing non-cohesive soil samples for triaxial or flexible wall permeability testing. The mold consists of an aluminum cylinder with a tube for attachment to the user’s vacuum source. With the vacuum applied, the latex membrane is drawn against the inside surface, and the soil can be easily compacted. Molds are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate your specimen’s dimensions.
