A 15 cm or 10 cm cube of concrete used in Britain as a sample of the concrete strength. It is crushed usually at 7- or 28-days' age. It is kept in damp sand for the whole of this period except the first day, during which it is in the mould. Ordinarily a 7-day cube has two-thirds of the strength of a 28-days cube. 1, record 1, English, - test%20cube
