Slump Cone Test
The sheet steel slump cone is filled with freshly mixed concrete and tamped with a tamping bar in four layers. The top of the concrete is levelled off with the top of the slump cone; the cone is lifted off the base and the slump of the sample is immediately measured.
This test is considered suitable for cohesive and plastic mixes of concrete containing aggregate smaller than 50mm.
It is supplied complete with a base plate that has cleats and a swivel handle, and a tamping rod with a diameter of 16mm and is 600mm long (part number TO345).
Applicable Standards: EN 12350-2, ASTM C143.
Features & Benefits
- Base has cleats on its underside to help dig into the ground surface
- Positive clamping of slump cone to the base while filling and tamping the concrete
- A combination swivel carrying handle also serves as the datum, making the conventional and somewhat awkward measuring procedure of using a rule and a datum bar a thing of the past
