DGSI. Durham Geo Slope Indicator

Capping Compound

ASTM C 617

Capping Compounds are specially formulated powders. They are melted and then formed over the ends of the test cylinders to provide a smooth, level surface. Melting point is 240 °F (115 °C), best flow is at 260-280 °F (126-137 °C).

Made in two formulations with two-hour setting time compressive strengths of:

• 5500 psi (38 MPa) Capping Compound Ingot
• 8000 psi (55 MPa) High Strength Compound Chips
• 4000 psi (30 MPa) Gypsum Powder

As an alternative, see capping pad systems
