Mould for thin sample casting

A stainless-steel mould for a casting of 2 mm ( 1/16 inch) thick cement-based samples, comprising:

• a stainless-steel solid base plate that is drilled with screw holes, and serves as a sample holder,
• a firm transparent plastic foil that is drilled with screw holes, and serves for easier sample removal,
• a set of screws,
• wherein the grid is composed of separate external and internal stainless-steel thin plates of a same thickness of 2 mm ( 1/16 inch), a same width of 10 mm (⅜ inch), and different lengths that vary from 10 mm (⅜ inch) to 90 mm ( 28/8 inch),
• wherein the thin plates are drilled with screw holes for attaching the thin plates to the solid base plate and the plastic foil by means of the screws to form 10 empty spaces (cells) measuring 10×10×2 mm (⅜×⅜ 1/16 inch),
• wherein all thin plates can be fully detached from the solid base plate by removing all screws,
• wherein the stainless-steel mould retains its moulding function when the external thin plates are attached and at least some of the internal thin plates are detached from the solid base plate and the plastic foil to create empty spaces (cells) for the casting of various sized samples from 30×10×2 mm ( 9/8×⅜× 1/16 inch) to 30×90×2 mm ( 9/8× 28/8× 1/16 inch).
