16mm diameter x 600mm long. The Slump Cone Tamping Rod is a precision-made steel rod designed specifically for use in concrete slump testing. Used to compact concrete in layers during the slump cone test (as per EN 12350-2, BS 1881, and ASTM C143 standards), this rod ensures uniform compaction for accurate and repeatable results. Made from hardened steel with a smooth, rounded tip, the tamping rod provides the ideal combination of strength, balance, and comfort for effective use in both field and laboratory settings. Key Features: Standard Dimensions: Typically 600mm length x 16mm diameter Rounded Ends: Prevents damage to the slump cone and ensures even compaction Durable Construction: Made from hardened, rust-resistant steel for long-term use Smooth Finish: Allows easy cleaning and comfortable handling Essential for Slump Testing: Designed for use with all standard slump cones Standards Compliant: Conforms to EN, BS, and ASTM slump test specifications Applications: Concrete slump testing to assess workability Used with slump cones, baseplates, and scoops in fresh concrete quality control Suitable for site and laboratory use by civil engineers, technicians, and QC inspectors Specifications: Material: Hardened steel Length: 600mm (standard) Diameter: 16mm (standard) End: Hemispherically rounded tip as per testing standards Finish: Polished or coated for corrosion resistance The Slump Cone Tamping Rod is a critical tool for achieving reliable, standardised slump test results, offering the durability and precision professionals expect in construction materials testing.
