CONCRETE TESTING EQUIPMENTS

SLUMP TEST APPARATUS

Base has cleats on its underside to help dig into the ground surface Positive clamping of slump cone to the base while filling and rodding the concrete A combination swivel carrying handle also doubles as the datum making the conventional and somewhat awkward measuring procedure of using a foot rule and a datum bar, a thing of the past

Supplied complete with base plate, having cleats and swivel handle

This test is considered suitable for cohesive and plastic mixes of concrete containing aggregate smaller than 50 mm.

The slump cone is filled with freshly mixed concrete and is tamped with a tamping bar in three or four layers. The top of the concrete is leveled off with the top of the slump cone, the cone is lifted vertically up and the slump of the sample is immediately measured.
