Procedure of Concrete Slump test: The mold for the concrete slump test is a frustum of a cone, 300 mm (12 in) of height. The base is 200 mm (8in) in diameter and it has a smaller opening at the top of 100 mm (4 in). The base is placed on a smooth surface and the container is filled with concrete in three layers, whose workability is to be ...

Read more...Cone: The cone measures 20 mm (0.787 inch) in diameter. Dimensions of the cone are shown in Figure 4. The 600 cone is becoming the standard for DCPs, although a 300 cone can be used when measuring the penetration index in stiffer soils. The combined weight of the upper shaft, anvil, lower shaft and cone should be approximately 3.1 kg (6-8 pounds.)

In this test, a 12-in.-tall steel cone is filled according to strict specifications. The steel is then slowly removed and the amount that the resulting cone of wet concrete settles, or slumps, is measured with a ruler.
