Slump test of ready-mixed concrete on site is an indispensable operation before pouring concrete.

Don't look at the dusty face of concrete on the construction site, it has to have a "key physical examination" before it "takes up its post"! It is the slump test of ready-mixed concrete on site, which is an essential operation before pouring concrete. The test depends on whether the three elements of fluidity, water retention and cohesiveness of concrete are qualified or not?

The worker uses a conical cylinder to pack three layers of concrete. Each layer is pounded 25 times with an iron bar to ensure that it is compacted. Then the top is scraped flat. Then the vertical lifting cylinder allows it to collapse freely. After observing for 30 seconds, the collapse height is measured. Then it can be judged whether it is qualified by checking whether there is water seepage and stratification.

From the mixing station to the construction site, the time, temperature and admixture reaction on the road will affect the state of concrete. If it is too dry to fill the formwork, it will be layered if it is too thin, and it will collapse if it is not sticky. So such a simple experiment measures not only the height, but also the strength of the building.
