Slump Test Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-CL-10586
Slump Test Apparatus (SKU LSK-CL-10586) is the cone, base plate and tamping rod used to measure the workability of fresh concrete on site or in the lab. The drop in height of a moulded concrete cone, its slump, gives a quick check that each batch matches the intended mix. Science Lab Supplies supplies the set from Ambala, India to colleges, polytechnics, TVET centres, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The slump cone has internal dimensions of 20 cm diameter at the base, 10 cm diameter at the top and 30 cm height, with handles and foot pieces. The foot pieces fix to clamps on a base plate that carries its own lifting handle, and a graduated steel tamping rod completes the set.

Applications and Experiments for the Slump Test Apparatus
The apparatus is used for the slump test, the most common field and laboratory check of concrete workability. It appears in concrete technology practicals for civil engineering degree and diploma students and in construction trade courses, where trainees learn to judge whether a batch is too stiff or too wet before it is placed.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: workability of fresh concrete in the concrete technology lab.
- Diploma civil engineering: slump test during mix design trials.
- TVET and ITI construction trades: site quality checks before placing concrete.
- Comparing the effect of water content on the slump of trial mixes.
The cone is clamped to the base plate, filled in layers and rodded, then lifted straight up; the graduated rod laid across the empty cone gives the slump reading.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set contains one slump cone with handles and foot pieces, one base plate with clamps and lifting handle, and one graduated steel tamping rod, 16 mm x 600 mm. Fresh concrete, a scoop and a trowel are not part of the supply.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one set or a class quantity; the quotation will state the packing, delivery time and price for the number requested. A concrete mixer or compression machine can share the same quotation when you are sourcing vocational training equipment for a construction workshop.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter that can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Send requests on the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for tender support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the slump cone?
Internally the cone measures 20 cm in diameter at the base, 10 cm at the top and 30 cm in height, with handles for lifting and foot pieces for holding it down.
Is the tamping rod included?
Yes. A graduated steel rod, 16 mm in diameter and 600 mm long with one rounded end, is supplied with every set and doubles as the scale for reading the slump.
Who supplies the Slump Test Apparatus?
It comes from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, a TVET lab equipment supplier that quotes directly to engineering colleges and training institutes and to tender contractors and distributors.
Can several sets be ordered for a class?
Yes. Give the number of sets and the delivery location, and a single quotation will cover the full quantity.
