Consist of a measuring apparatus incorporating a suitable dial gauge reading accurately to 0.001 mm. This gauge will be rigidly mounted in a measuring Frame and will have a recessed end which can be located upon a 6.5 mm diameter ball or other reference point cemented in the specimen. The other end of the frame will have a similar recessed seating which can be located upon a second ball or reference point in the specimen. An invar steel rod of a suitable length with 6.5 mm diameter steel ball or hemispherical ends can be used as a standard of length against which the readings of the gauge can be tested. The apparatus will be designed to test Mould of 75mm x 75mm x 300mm long concrete specimen.
