United States1to spread through the J-Ring (Fig. 3). After spreading ceases, two diameters of the concrete mass are measured in approximatelyorthogonal dir
17、ections. J-Ring flow is the average of the two diameters. The test is repeated without the J-Ring to obtain the slumpflow. The difference between the slump flow and J-Ring flow is an indicator of the passing ability of the concrete.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a procedure to
18、determine the passing ability of self-consolidating concrete. This test method isapplicable for laboratory use in comparing the passing ability of different concrete mixtures. It is also applicable in the field as aquality control test.5.2 The difference between the slump flow and J-Ring flow is an
19、indication of the passing ability of the concrete. A differenceless than 25 mm 1 in. indicates good passing ability and a difference greater than 50 mm 2 in. indicates poor passing ability.The orientation of the mold for the J-Ring test and for the slump flow test without the J-Ring shall be the sam

46、eplicate tests on 30 batches of the same concrete mixture during normal production at a precast plant, thewithin-test standard deviation (repeatability) for passing ability was 5.8 mm 0.23 in. The average passing ability in these testswas 20.5 mm 0.81 in. for slump-flow values ranging from about 480
47、 to 740 mm 19 to 29 in. Measurements were done in theinch-pound system and the SI values are conversion of the inch-pound values.12.2 BiasThe procedure used in this test method has no bias since passing ability based on the J-Ring flow is defined onlyin terms of this test method.13.
