ASTM C995-01 PDF Download

ASTM C995-01 is a standard test method that is used to determine the time it takes for fiber-reinforced concrete to flow through an inverted slump cone. This test can be conducted both in the laboratory and in the field.

The test method is applicable to freshly mixed concrete that contains coarse aggregate up to 1 1/2 inches in size. However, it is not suitable for concrete that flows freely through the cone. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the flow characteristics of fiber-reinforced concrete, which is important for determining its workability and quality.

By measuring the time it takes for the concrete to flow through the inverted cone, engineers and construction professionals can assess the consistency and flowability of the mixture. This information can be used to make adjustments to the concrete mix, if necessary, to ensure it meets the desired specifications and performance requirements.
