To determine the confined flowability of self-compacting freshly
mixed concrete, and to evaluate the filling and passing ability and
segregation resistance.
Applicable to concrete with aggregates of 25 mm max. size.
C172 L-BOX, stainless steel made, consisting of:
– container with inside rigid surfaces,
– obstacle of two different interchangeable set of grids:

CONFINED FLOWABILITY DETERMINATION
U-SHAPE BOX
STANDARDS: UNI 11044 | RILEM report N. 23
To evaluate the filling speed and height of the concrete sample
under its own self-weight, in the U-shape filling box, to determine
the self-compactability. The test is performed with highly fluidised
fresh concrete with superplasticiser.
Applicable to concrete with aggregates of 25 mm max. size.
