AZA 1103 SLUMP CONE, PLASTIC

Description

AZA 1103 SLUMP CONE, PLASTIC – Durable Concrete Consistency Tester

Slump Cone Plastic AZA 1103 from Azalab is a lightweight and durable tool designed to measure the workability and consistency of fresh concrete. Ideal for use on construction sites and in laboratory conditions, this plastic version of the standard slump cone offers improved resistance to corrosion, dents, and deformation.

The test determines the slump value, which indicates how fluid or stiff the concrete mix is. It is a quick, field-friendly procedure that gives engineers a rapid insight into the batch quality of the concrete.

Made from high-density, rigid plastic, this cone maintains shape under repetitive use and provides consistent results. The smooth internal surface minimizes friction and helps with easy cleaning between tests.

Concrete workability is essential in ensuring that a concrete mix can be easily placed and compacted without segregation. The slump test, using the AZA 1103, provides a quick assessment of this property and helps engineers make on-the-spot decisions before pouring the mix.

The AZA 1103 Slump Cone (Plastic) from Azalab is a high-quality, lightweight, and durable tool used for evaluating the workability and consistency of fresh concrete mixes. It’s a vital component for construction engineers, quality control labs, and field testing teams that need fast, reliable, and repeatable slump measurements.

🔧 How It Works

1. Place the cone on a non-absorbent base.

2. Fill it in three equal layers of concrete.

3. Each layer is tamped 25 times with a tamping rod.

4. The cone is lifted vertically, and the slump is measured.

5. Tamp each layer 25 times with the supplied tamping rod.

6. Carefully lift the cone vertically.

7. Measure the vertical slump (in mm) from the top of the cone to the displaced concrete surface.

8. Place the cone on a firm, level, and non-absorbent surface.

9. Fill the cone with fresh concrete in three equal layers.

This simple but highly effective test helps ensure the concrete mix meets the desired consistency before placement.
