STANDARD: EN 12350-2, BS 1881:102, ASTM C143

The  test  apparatus is  carried  out by  fi lling  the  slump  cone with  freshly  mixed  concrete  which  is  tamped  with  a  steel rod in three layers. The concrete is levelled off with the top of the slump cone, the cone removed, and the slump of the sample is immediately measured.

To  ensure  that  concrete  achieves  its  maximum  possible strength  and  yet  retains  its  ease  of  placing  on  site,  it  is essential that the design of the concrete mix, in relation to the water-cement ratio and workability, is closely controlled.

We  propose  two  different  models:  the  standard  one particularly  suitable  for  laboratory  testing  and  the  portable model  very  practical  for  site  testing.  A  number  of  parts and  accessories  are  however  available  for  particular requirements.

Portable  slump  cone  test  set  Complete  with  metal  base plate  SM-BP/C  and  TR-G600  tamping  rod.  Clamps  on  the base  hold  the  cone  for  fi lling  and  tamping.  After  the  cone is  removed,  the  handle  raises  over  the  specimen  and  the slump is measured using  a  22  cm  scale  engraved in 1  cm increments  on  the  end  of  the  rod.  The  set  of  components are fi tted together for easy carrying.
