The complete set comprises of a Steel Octagon Base Plate (8 faces) with carrying handle, Graduated Tamping Rod 16mm dia x 600mm long with one bullet end, slump cone having base 200mm, height 300mm fitted with handle.

Specification :

• Slump Cone Downside Diameter: 200 mm
• Slump Cone Tube Height: 300 mm
• Tamper: Dia 16 mm
• Material: Iron
• The Slump Test Apparatus is carried out using a metal mould in the shape of a conical frustum known as a slump cone or Abrams cone.
• The slump of the concrete is measured by measuring the distance from the top of the slumped concrete to the level of the top of the slump cone.
