Concrete Slump Test Kits, Cones & Testing Equipment

Choose a Set or Replace Individual Components

A concrete slump test kit brings the main apparatus together for routine field or laboratory work. Begin with the Slump Test Kit, then compare the listed contents with the equipment you already own. Do not assume every set includes the same scoop, brush, measuring tool or carrying case.

For repeat testing across several sites, consider how the cone and base are secured during transport, how the components are cleaned and which parts can be replaced separately. A compact carrying arrangement can simplify field organization, but it does not remove the need for a suitable test surface.

Compare Cone, Base and Rod Requirements

Select the cone material and base configuration for the procedure being followed. The cone must be used on a suitable rigid, level, non-absorbent surface. Verify the mold condition, fastening arrangement and rod requirements rather than selecting components by appearance alone.

When replacing a rod, review the Concrete Slump Tamping Rod and confirm its dimensions against your test requirements. A smaller rod intended for another specimen size is not automatically a substitute.

Keep Conventional Slump and Slump Flow Separate

ASTM C143/C143M addresses slump of hydraulic-cement concrete. Slump-flow testing of self-consolidating concrete uses a different procedure and evaluation. Select the required apparatus before ordering a set; a flow board or accessory does not make a conventional kit suitable for every test.

Use the current procedure for sampling, consolidation, cone removal and measurement. Project requirements determine the acceptable result. A high or low slump reading alone is not permission to add water or change the mixture.

Complete the Field Testing Setup

Check whether your order needs sampling tools, a measuring device and cleaning supplies in addition to the main set. Replace damaged components before they affect the test setup, and inspect the cone and base between uses.

For air-content measurements, compare concrete air meters separately. Use the fresh concrete testing equipment category to plan related field checks without assuming that one slump kit covers the entire inspection program.
