AS 1012.3.3:1998 (R2014) titled "Methods of Testing Concrete - Determination of Properties Related to the Consistency of Concrete - Vebe Test" provides guidelines for testing the consistency of concrete using the Vebe test method. The vebe value of concrete refers to the time taken for a sample to undergo a specified degree of compacting in a standard vibrating table. This standard specifically applies to concrete samples with an aggregate size not exceeding 40 mm.

It is important to note that conducting the Vebe test as outlined in this standard may involve the use of hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. Therefore, proper precautions and safety measures should be taken during testing to ensure the well-being of personnel involved.

This standard details the procedure for conducting the Vebe test, including the necessary equipment, preparation of test specimens, and the method for measuring and recording the vebe value. It aims to provide a consistent and reliable method for evaluating the consistency of concrete, which is an important property related to its workability and performance in various applications.
