What Is the Tamping Bar Used For?
Cube specimens give a fair strength result only when the concrete in them has been compacted fully, without pockets of trapped air. With the cube mould filled in layers, the operator holds the bar by its handle and works its square 25 mm end down through each layer in turn, spreading the strokes over the area before adding the next layer. Its 380 mm length and square section set it apart from the round 16 mm, 600 mm tamping rod listed alongside it; where a test method names the compacting tool, the method decides which of the two is used.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of tamping bars required.
- Test method — the test method that specifies the compacting tool, so that the bar or the round tamping rod is matched to it.
