Test-tube

Sample of hardened material, generally concrete or rock, of determined dimensions and preserved under pre-established conditions, subsequently to be subjected to studies. In Spain, as in other countries such as United States, Canada, Australia and other countries belonging to the CEB, cylindrical test tubes are used. But the United Kingdom, Germany and some other countries continue to use cube-shaped test tubes, in the determination of resistance to compression.
