Slump Test78 viewsHere is the slump test being performed by a CPAC QA engineer. If the slump is 12 to 14 centimeters the concrete is dryish, 15-17 the concrete is normal and 18 + the concrete is watery. Although 12 to 14 is a bit harder to work it is a stronger and more desirable product to be used in the flooring and ground beam. Workers often prefer 18 + as it is easier to work, without regard to the strength characteristics of the concrete. dozer
