What Is a Concrete Slump Test?
A concrete slump test measures the consistency and workability of freshly mixed concrete. The concrete sample is placed into a slump cone in layers and consolidated with a tamping rod. After the cone is vertically lifted away, the reduction in height of the concrete is measured as the slump.
Deslauriers recommends a basic setup consisting of a slump cone, base, scoop and tamping rod, with additional accessories available for more convenient testing.
