K-Slump Tester (Product Code: SLE/CE/30) is a probe-type tester used to determine the workability and degree of compaction of fresh concrete in place, inside forms and test moulds, on site and in concrete laboratories. Engineers and students insert its 20 mm diameter calibrated hollow tube into the concrete and read the K-slump directly after 60 seconds. It comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), which makes it as an OEM manufacturer at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The tester is pushed into the fresh concrete up to the level of its disc. Over the next 60 seconds mortar flows into the hollow tube; the measuring rod is then lowered onto the concrete surface inside the tube and the K-slump is read straight off the scale. Using the correlation chart, the reading can be related to the conventional slump test.
Because it works in the formwork itself, the K-slump tester checks concrete where it has actually been placed, with no need to take a separate sample. Take readings at several points, clean the tube between insertions and test before the concrete begins to stiffen. Light at about 500 g, it is a handy addition to engineering educational equipments in India for site-practice sessions.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the K-Slump Tester, which is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Site laboratories, polytechnics, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct and deal with the manufacturer for quotations and repeat supply. If you need a replacement correlation chart or part, ask us. Visit the ScienceLab company profile.
These workability tests are often run alongside the K-slump tester or used to build its correlation.
The Civil Engineering Lab Equipment category has further fresh-concrete and site-testing apparatus.
What does the K-Slump Tester measure?
The K-Slump Tester measures the workability and degree of compaction of fresh concrete after it has been placed in forms or test moulds. It gives a direct K-slump reading that can be correlated with the standard slump test.
How long does a K-Slump Tester reading take?
A K-Slump Tester reading takes about one minute. The tester is inserted up to its disc, and after 60 seconds the measuring rod is lowered onto the concrete and the K-slump is read directly on the scale.
Can K-Slump Tester results be compared with the slump test?
Yes. K-Slump Tester results can be correlated against the conventional slump test, and the tester includes a correlation chart and instructions so readings can be interpreted in familiar slump terms.
What are the dimensions of the K-Slump Tester?
The K-Slump Tester has a total length of 300 mm, a calibrated hollow tube of 20 mm diameter and weighs approximately 500 g, so it fits easily in a site kit or laboratory drawer.
Can the K-Slump Tester be used inside formwork?
Yes. The K-Slump Tester is designed for in-situ measurements and can be used inside forms and test moulds, so it checks the concrete where it has actually been placed rather than a separate sample.
Who manufactures the K-Slump Tester?
The K-Slump Tester is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions, dealers and importers.
