ASTM C143 or Slump Test of Hydraulic Cement Concrete is the standard method of test

for the slump of hydraulic cement concrete, though many people use slump to measure
workability, the purpose of the slump is to measure the batch to batch consistency of the
concrete. A slump of a concrete sample is a measure of its consistency and indicates how fluid
the concrete will be. It can help you predict strength and provide an idea of workability by
indicating how easy or difficult it will be to place. When the slump cone is raised and the
concrete is no longer held in place, it is measured by how far down the concrete sinks. By
rodding, a sample of freshly mixed concrete is placed in a cone-shaped mold and compacted
there. The concrete is allowed to sink while the mold is raised, the slump of the concrete is
measured and reported as the vertical distance between the original and displaced positions of
the center of the top surface. You can also get a general idea of how much water is in the
mixture and determine whether it is too wet or dry for the project's requirements. Because
smaller stones have a greater surface area and have more areas where cement and water can
bond, it will be necessary to add more water to the batch the smaller the size of the stone or
gravel. Slump testing of concrete, which is widely used worldwide, is a reliable method for on-
site testing. In order to distinguish between various types of slump values, this test's procedure
required extra care. This makes it hard to make a decision about concrete acceptance.
