Appendix Slumptest Procedure | Multiquip LS600 manual

APPENDIX — SLUMPTEST PROCEDURE

1.	To obtain a representative sample (concrete), take
	several samples at three or more regular intervals
	throughout the discharge of the mixer or truck.DO NOT
	take samples at the beginning or end of the discharge.
2.	Dampen the inside of the cone and place it on a smooth,
	moist, nonabsorbent, level surface large enough to
	accommodate both the slumped concrete and the
	slump cone. Stand on the “foot pieces” throughout the
	test procedure to hold the cone firmly in place.
3.	Fill the cone 1/3 full by volume (Figure 68-A) and rod
	25 times with a 1/2” dia x 24” lg. bullet-pointed steel rod.
	(This is a specific requirement which will produce non-
	standard results unless followed exactly.) Distribute
	rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the

5.Fill cone to overflowing (Figure68-C). Rod this layer 25 times with rod penetrating into but not through, the sec- ond layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of this layer.

4.Fill cone another 1/3 (Figure 68-B) which will make the cone 2/3 full by volume. Rod this second layer 25 times with the rod penetrating into, but not through, the first layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the layer.

7. Lift the cone vertically (Figure68-E)withasloweven motion. DO NOT jar the con- crete or tilt the cone during this process.( Invert the with- drawn cone, and place it next to, but not touching the slumped concrete.

8. Lay a straight edge (Figure 68-F) across the top of the slumped cone. Measure the amount of slump in inches from the bottom of the straight

edge to the top of the slumped concrete at a point over the original center of the base . The slump operation must be complete in a maximum elapsed time of 1-½ minutes. Discard the concrete.DO NOT use it in another tests.
