Slump Test
The Slump Test is a method used to measure the workability and consistency of fresh concrete. It involves filling a conical mold with concrete, then lifting the mold to observe how much the concrete "slumps" or settles. The height difference between the original mold height and the settled concrete indicates its consistency.
This test is commonly used in construction to ensure that the concrete mix meets specific requirements for strength and durability. A higher slump value typically indicates a wetter mix, while a lower slump suggests a drier mix. Proper workability is crucial for achieving the desired strength in the finished product.
