The AS 1012.6:2014 standard provides a procedure for determining the bleeding characteristics of freshly mixed concrete. Bleeding refers to the tendency of mixing water to separate from the concrete mixture and rise to the surface.

The standard outlines the specific conditions under which the test should be conducted in order to obtain accurate results. It specifies the quantities of materials to be used, including the concrete sample size and the amount of water to be added during mixing.

The standard also describes the steps involved in conducting the test, from preparing the sample to observing and measuring the amount of bleed water. This includes the use of a specific apparatus, such as a glass plate or filter paper, to collect and measure the bleeding water.
