    Concrete slump classes specify the acceptable ranges and deviations for a concrete's workability as measured by its slump. The slump is tested upon the concrete's arrival at the site and checked against the mix design criteria before pouring. BS 8500 provides guidelines for concrete slump classes, including allowable limits for variation within each class and specifications for flow classes measured in a similar way to slump.

    Concrete Slump Classes

    The concrete sump is an indicator of the workability of the concrete. Concrete slump classes are
    used to specify the applicable ranges of a slump and their acceptable deviations.

    The slump of the concrete is tested at the time of concrete arriving at the site. Based on the
    acceptable criteria finalized at the mix design is used to check the slump before concrete
    pouring.

    BS 8500 provides a detailed guideline for concrete slump classes.


    Further, there are limitations for each slump class to vary. The following figure extracted from
    the BS 8500 Part 1 shows the allowable limits.
    A similar kind of specification is used for the flow test. Let’s see the floor classes as per the BS
    8500 Part 01.
    As discussed above, there are limits for the flow classes too.
    Further information, BS 8500 could be referred.
