Flow table test
The flow table test or flow test is a method to determine consistency of fresh concrete Flow table test is also used to identify transportable moisture limit of solid bulk cargo It is used primarily for assessing concrete that is too fluid (workable) to be measured using the slump test, because the concrete will not retain its shape when the cone is removed...
