Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee, CED 02

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 6) (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
Testing plays an important role in controlling the quality of cement concrete work. Systematic testing of the raw
materials, the fresh concrete and the hardened concrete, is an inseparable part of any quality control programme
for concrete. This helps achieve a higher efficiency of the materials used and greater assurance of the performance
of the concrete, in regard to workability, strength and durability. The test methods used shall be simple, direct and
convenient to apply. This standard was formulated with this objective in view.
This standard was first published in 1959. In this revision, it was decided to review and update the various
existing test methods of fresh concrete taking into consideration the latest international practices and developments
in this field in the country, and also introduced certain new test methods, wherever required. In the process, the
various existing test methods covered in IS 1199 : 1959 ‘Methods of sampling and analysis of concrete’, have
been revised. The revision of this standard has been brought out taking into consideration primarily the
corresponding ISO standards while also examining the other best practices world over and in the country. In
addition, test methods for determination of properties of new types of concrete like self compacting concrete have
been included, covering tests such as consistency, viscosity, passing ability and segregation resistance. Also, for
better understanding and implementation, some of the other test methods which were spread over in other Indian
Standards have been brought together under the fold of IS 1199 as its various parts, such as the setting time of
concrete by penetration method and, water soluble and acid soluble chlorides in mortar and concrete. This is with
a view to making the standard complete in all respects, and rendering it a comprehensive source of provisions for
testing of concrete and reference in other Indian Standards.
In this revision, IS 1199 has been split into nine parts. The other parts in the series are:
Part 1 Sampling of fresh concrete
Part 2 Determination of consistency of fresh concrete
Part 3 Determination of density of fresh concrete
Part 4 Determination of air content of fresh concrete
Part 5 Making and curing of test specimens
Part 7 Determination of setting time of concrete by penetration resistance
Part 8 Determination of water soluble and acid soluble chlorides in mortar and concrete
Part 9 Analysis of freshly mixed concrete
This standard (Part 6) covers the procedures for testing of fresh self-compacting concrete.
This standard (Part 6) has been based on the latest literature on this topic as well as latest research data. Significant
provisions in this revision are highlighted below:
a) These are newly introduced test methods for self compacting concrete (SCC).
b) Test methods for the determination of consistency, viscosity, passing ability and segregation resistance
have been included.
c) For consistency determination of SCC, the flowability is evaluated by measuring the maximum spreading
diameter (dmax) and the time the concrete takes to reach the spreading diameter of 500 mm (t500).
d) For viscosity determination, the V-funnel test for determining the flow time of SCC has been included.
This test also gives the filling ability of the concrete.
e) For passing ability determination of SCC, the L box test is specified, which measures the passing ability

of self-compacting concrete to flow through tight openings including spaces between reinforcing bars
and other obstructions without segregation or blocking.
f) For assessing the segregation resistance of SCC, the sieve segregation resistance test is specified. A
known weight of the sample, kept stagnant for 15 min, is poured into a sieve, and the segregation ratio is
then calculated as the proportion of the sample passing through the sieve.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value observed or
calculated is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical
values (revised)’.
