ASTM C1611/C1611M − 14 Standard Test Method for Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete

ASTM C1611/C1611M − 14 Standard Test Method for Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete

Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of slump flow of self-consolidating concrete (SCC).

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.

The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used

independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the

standard.

1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material.

These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the

standard

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and

determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. (Warning—Fresh hydraulic cementitious

mixtures are caustic and may cause chemical burns to skin and tissue upon prolonged exposure.2)
