Pearce can provide concrete in various slump ranges, depending on strength and workability needs. Ideal slump is in the 4-6" range. The slump test must be performed within 2 1/2 minutes after obtaining the composite sample.
Technician begins to fill mold in three equal layers. Each layer is rodded 25 times to settle the concrete, before the next layer is added. Full mold is ready to be pulled off to measure slump.
Technician must pull mold off within 3-7 seconds for accurate test, per ASTM standards. Partial mix being revealed by removal of mold. Full concrete mix now ready for measurement.
This mix shows an ideal slump of around 4.5" measured to the displaced center of the top surface of concrete.
This is a general guide meant for informational purposes only, for complete testing procedures refer to ASTM standards or contact Pearce Brothers for more information.
