2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of slump flowof self-consolidating concrete(SCC).1.2 The values stated in either SI units or in
3、ch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 The text of this standard referen

10、 allowed to spread.After spreading ceases,twodiameters of the concrete mass are measured in approximatelyorthogonal directions.Slump flow is the average of the twodiameters.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine theslump flow of self-consolidating concrete in th
11、e laboratory orthe field.5.2 This test method is used to monitor the consistency offresh,unhardened self-consolidating concrete and its uncon-fined flow potential.5.3 It is difficult to produce self-consolidating concrete thatis both flowable and nonsegregating using coarse aggregateslarger than 25
12、mm 1 in.Therefore,this test method isconsidered applicable to self-consolidating concrete havingcoarse aggregate up to 25 mm 1 in.in size.Appendix X1provides non-mandatory visual rating criteria that may be usedto classify the ability of a self-consolidating concrete mixtureto resist segregation(sta
13、bility).5.4 The rate at which the concrete spreads is related to itsviscosity.Appendix X1 provides a non-mandatory procedurethat may be used to provide an indication of relative viscosityof self-consolidating concrete mixtures.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcr
