Used to determine the potential for static segregation of self-compacting concrete by measuring the coarse aggregate content in the top and bottom portions of a cylindrical specimen.
This test can be used as a quality control determination for levels of coarse aggregate segregation, especially for deep section applications like walls or columns. This test is not applicable for self-consolidating concrete with lightweight aggregate.
The PVC column includes a stable base, three column sections and two sliding separator blades, which allow the column to be disassembled while capturing the concrete sample in the column sections.
