1、Designation: C 1362 04Standard Test Method forFlow of Freshly Mixed Hydraulic-Cement Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1362; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers determination of the flow of asample of freshly mixed concrete, either in the field or in thelaboratory.1.2 T
3、his test method is applicable to concrete having coarseaggregate up to 37.5 mm in size. If the coarse aggregate islarger than 37.5 mm in size, the test method is applicable whenthe fraction of concrete larger than 37.5 mm is removed inaccordance with Practice C 172.1.3 The values stated in SI units
4、are the standard.1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotesthat provide explanatory information. These notes and foot-notes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not beconsidered as requirements of this standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety
5、 concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Summary of Test Method3.1 A flow apparatus compri
7、sing an outer partially perfo-rated hollow tube and an inner calibrated floating rod isinserted into a sample of freshly mixed concrete to a presetlevel and held in place by a collar floater. A portion of theconcrete is allowed to flow into the hollow tube through itsperforations for a period of 40
8、s. The inner floating rod is thenlowered onto the concrete surface that has penetrated thehollow tube. The height of the concrete in the hollow tube isread from the scale on the upper portion of the floating rodprotruding from the top of the hollow tube. With increasingfluidity of the concrete a hig

Significance and Use4.1 This test method permits a rapid assessment of the flowand consistency of freshly mixed concrete (see Note 1).4.2 This test method also provides information on thechange in flow and consistency with
10、time of concrete contain-ing superplasticizer admixtures.4.3 This test method can be used to measure the uniformitycharacteristics of flow and consistency of freshly mixedconcrete and its change with time.NOTE 1This test method may not be appropriate for use in evaluatinggap-graded aggregate concret
11、e.5. Apparatus5.1 Details of the apparatus are shown in Fig. 1. Theapparatus consists of (1) measuring rod, (2) scale datum, (3)hollow tube with round holes and longitudinal slots, (4)holding pin, (5) collar floater, and (6) tube point.5.2 Measuring rod is a hollow tube, 13 mm in outsidediameter, 33
12、6 mm long with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm and itis capped at both ends with a cap 15 mm in outside diameter.A scale datum is 45 mm in outside diameter and 25 mm wideand fabricated to fit hollow tube and accommodate measuringrod. Hollow tube has an outside diameter of 33 mm, and it is310 mm long with
13、 a wall thickness of 4 mm and has 16 roundholes, 9.4 mm in diameter, and 4 longitudinal slots, 9.4 mmwide by 50 mm long, which are distributed around thecircumference of the tube as shown in Fig. 1. A pin which is arivet, 3.2 mm in diameter, protrudes 3.2 mm inside tube. Collarfloater, made of a pla
14、te 5 mm thick, has an outside diameter of90 mm and inside diameter of 33 mm, is connected to hollowtube. Tube point is machined from a rod stock and fashionedinto a conical shape. It is secured to the bottom end of hollowtube, and it is used to facilitate the insertion of the assemblyinto the fresh

Sampling6.1 Determine the flow either as the concrete is placed in theforms prior to any manipulation or in a suitable container suchas
19、 a can, a hopper, a pail, or a wheelbarrow. The sample ofconcrete from which determination of flow is made shall berepresentative of the entire batch. Obtain the sample inaccordance with the requirements of Practice C 172.7. Procedure7.1 Bring the surface of the concrete to a smooth and levelconditi
20、on. Use a small wood float or screed, but work thesurface as little as possible to avoid formation of mortar layers.The minimum depth of concrete at testing shall be 175 mm,and the distance from the tube to the nearest edge of the levelsurface of the concrete on which the flow or consistency is tobe
21、 determined shall be a minimum of 75 mm. During the flowmeasurement protect the concrete against vibration, jarring, oragitation. Wet the apparatus, and shake off all excess water.Raise the measuring rod, and let it rest on the pin inside theapparatus. Insert the apparatus slowly and vertically down
22、warduntil the collar floater rests at the surface of the concrete. Donot rotate the apparatus while inserting it into the concrete.After 40 s of complete insertion lower the measuring rodslowly until it rests on the surface of the concrete that enteredinto the hollow tube.
