•Test appropriate for concrete mixes of low and very low workability
This method is a mechanised variation of the slump test and includes a determination of the workability of concrete. It is based on the principle of subjecting the concrete to vibration after removal of the slump cone.
The assembly is mounted upon a small vibrating table operating at a fixed amplitude and frequency. The time to complete the required vibration gives an indication of the concrete workability.
Special Note: The consistometer must be operated from an electrical supply of 50 Hz in order to comply with the fixed test frequency specified.
