The Semi-Automatic Core Grinding Machine – NG-CoreGrind 1000 is designed to comply with ASTM C617, which is the standard practice for capping cylindrical concrete specimens to prepare them for compressive strength testing. ASTM C617 outlines methods for verifying that concrete specimen ends are flat and parallel.

The NG-CoreGrind 1000 facilitates compliance with ASTM C617 by providing a precise grinding process that assures specimen ends are flat and smooth. This grinding process eliminates the need for traditional capping methods, such as sulfur or rubber, which can introduce variability and potential inaccuracies in testing. By grinding the specimen ends to a tight tolerance, the NG-CoreGrind 1000 ensures that the specimens are prepared according to ASTM C617 standards, leading to more reliable and accurate test results.
