Used to measure flow (rate) value of concrete using flow table test. The apparatus consists of a flow table, stainless steel flow mould and a plastic tamping bar. Please scroll down to learn about the proceedure of this test.

PROCEDURE OF TEST:

• Prepare a leveled surface and place the flow table on the surface.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the top of the table and the inner surface of the mould.

• Place the slump cone shaped mould on the table.

• Fill the cone with fresh concrete in two equal layers and start tamping each layer 10 times using the wooden tamping bar.

• After tamping the concrete is then struck off flush with the upper edge of the cone and the free area of the top of the table is cleaned off.

• After half a minute of striking off, lift the cone vertically.

• Then raise the table top by the handle and allow it to fall 15 times in 15 seconds. The concrete spreads itself out.

• Measure the diameter of spread concrete in two dimensions parallel to the table edges.

RESULT:

The arithmetic mean of the two diameters shall be the measured flow in millimeters.
