    Cube Moulds

    PPE Requirements
    Gloves
    Safety Glasses
    Safety Boots (with midsole protection)

    Reference Equipment Required


    Vernier Caliper
    Engineers Square
    Feeler Gauge
    Straight Edge
    Thermometer
    2mm Gauge Block

    1. Cube moulds will be calibrated at 12 monthly intervals.

    2. Cube moulds will also be calibrated if there is reason to believe that the mould dimensions may
    no longer be within the specified limits.

    3. New cube moulds will be checked for compliance prior to being placed in service.

    4. Before calibration the condition of each mould will be checked and moulds that are obviously
    damaged will be placed out of use pending refurbishment or disposal.

    5. Each component of the mould will be checked to ensure that each item is indelibly marked with a
    unique serial number before calibration.

    6. The length, width and height of the assembled mould will be measured in four places to
    0.01mm using the Vernier caliper.
    The values of length, width and height will be compared with the requirements for either new
    or used moulds, stated on the calibration worksheet.

    Moulds with dimensions outside the allowable tolerance will be removed from service.

    7. The perpendicularity of the assembled mould will be checked using the engineers square and
    feeler gauges. The deviation from squareness of sides in relation to both the base plate and
    to adjacent sides will be checked.

    Side to side
    The square will be placed in each corner of the assembled mould and the maximum deviation
    from perpendicular measured by moving the square through the full length of the corner
    checking deviation using the feeler gauges. In some cases when taking perpendicularity
    readings the actual value is way below maximum which would mean checking a large range
    of readings. In this case the only feeler gauges that need to be used are the maximum
    tolerance and one immediately smaller. If neither pass through the square than a less than
    value can be used (e.g. <0.4mm).

    It is becoming more apparent with modern manufacturing processes that suppliers cannot
    guarantee the cast corners of the mould will be perfectly angled. See picture below.

    If the corner of the mould is slightly rounded then the engineers square cannot be pressed
    against the mould accurately to take a reading with the feeler gauges.

    If this is the case a 2mm gauge block can be used to lift the engineer square away from the
    corner. See picture below.

    Side to base

    The square will be placed in each angle between the sides and base plate of the assembled
    mould and the maximum deviation from perpendicular measured by moving the square along the
    full length of the angle checking deviation using the feeler gauges. In some cases when taking
    perpendicularity readings the actual value is way below maximum which would mean checking
    a large range of readings. In this case the only feeler gauges that need to be used are the
    maximum tolerance and one immediately smaller. If neither pass through the square than a
    less than value can be used (e.g. <0.4mm).

    Moulds which fail to meet perpendicularity requirements will be removed from service.

    8. The deviation from flatness of the base plate will be measured using the straight edge and
    feeler gauges and the maximum value recorded.
    The deviation from flatness of each internal side face will be measured using the straightedge
    and feeler gauges and the maximum value recorded.

    Four measurements should be taken for flatness across the surface as per sketch below.

    Moulds which fail to meet flatness requirements will be removed from service
