scope:

This specification covers requirements for the flow table and accessory apparatus (Note 1) used in making flow tests for consistency of mortars in tests of hydraulic cement.

Note 1-To help clarify the design of the flow table and accessory apparatus see the drawing in Figure 1 [Figure 2]. This drawing is for informational purposes only.

The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units shall be regarded separately as standard. The values stated are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. It is permissible to use an inch-pound caliper and mold with an SI flow table or an SI caliper and mold with an inch-pound flow table. It is not permissible to mix an SI mold with an inch-pound caliper or an inch-pound mold with an SI caliper.
