Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
Model: UT4013
The Vebe Consistometer determines the consistency and density of low slump roller-compacted concrete. The sample is placed in the mold and the surcharge weight is placed on top. The vibrator is started and the time for the concrete to consolidate and form a mortar ring is recorded. The surcharge is then removed and the concrete is vibrated further.
This tester is used to determine of consistency and workability of concrete. Vebe Consistometer comprises vibrating table, container, slump cone, graduated rod and plate.

Standard
ASTM C1170 Standard Test Method for Determining Consistency and Density of Roller-Compacted Concrete Using a Vibrating Table
ASTM C1170 measure Vebe consistency and hardened density of zero‑slump roller‑compacted concrete (RCC) by means of a vibrating table and weighted surcharge assembly. Conventional slump tests cannot characterize extremely dry, stiff, no‑slump RCC mixtures, so this vibration‑based Vebe‑type test fills that gap.
ASTM C1176 Standard Practice for Making Roller-Compacted Concrete in Cylinder Molds Using a Vibrating Table
ASTM C1176 is a Practice (specimen-preparation procedure), not a test method that produces a number in itself. It defines laboratory procedures for fabricating 150 mm × 300 mm cylindrical test specimens for stiff, zero‑slump roller‑compacted concrete (RCC) using a vibrating table plus static surcharge load.
