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. Colleges, polytechnics, TVET centres, tender contractors and distributors can buy the set through Science Lab Supplies, with dispatch from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Cone, base plate and rod details for this slump set are listed one per row. In short, the slump cone measures 20 cm across the base, 10 cm across the top and 30 cm high, its foot pieces clamp to a base plate with a 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 on batches from the Laboratory Concrete Mixer.
- TVET and ITI construction trades: site quality checks before placing concrete.
- Comparing the effect of water content on slump, with mix constituents checked on the Dunagan Test Set.
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. Classroom quantities can be discussed on the contact page; single sets go straight into the enquiry cart, and tender buyers will find the process on the lab tender page.
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?
The set is quoted and supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Engineering colleges and training institutes can approach it directly, and tender contractors and distributors can obtain the same quotation for their own clients.
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, so every group in a concrete practical can test its own batch at the same time.
