Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10317
Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete (code EL-CTLE-10317) is an apparatus set for measuring how much of the mixing water in a fresh concrete sample bleeds out, as a relative quantity. It is made up of a stainless steel cylindrical container of approx. 14 litres capacity, 255 ± 5 mm internal diameter and 280 ± 5 mm inside height, with a stainless steel cover and a flat rounded steel float of (100 ± 10) mm diameter.

What Is the Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete Used For?
Bleeding is the rise of mixing water to the surface of freshly placed concrete as the heavier solids settle; too much of it weakens the top layer and can leave water channels through the concrete. The container is filled with the fresh concrete, levelled and covered to stop evaporation, and the water that collects on top is drawn off and measured at intervals until bleeding stops. The total collected, compared with the mixing water in the sample, gives the relative quantity of bleed water, a check often made when admixtures or new mixes are assessed. The standards listed are ASTM C 232 and EN 480-4.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bleeding test determine?
It finds the relative quantity of bleed water, the part of the mixing water in a fresh concrete sample that rises to the surface after the concrete is placed.
What size is the bleeding container?
The stainless steel cylindrical container holds approx. 14 litres, with an internal diameter of 255 ± 5 mm and an inside height of 280 ± 5 mm.
What else is included with the container?
A stainless steel cover and a flat, rounded steel float with a diameter of (100 ± 10) mm complete the set.
Why is bleeding of concrete measured?
Heavy bleeding brings water to the surface, weakening the top layer and leaving it prone to dusting, so the test shows whether a mix or admixture keeps bleeding within limits.
Which standards are listed for the bleeding test set?
The standards listed are ASTM C 232 and EN 480-4 for this bleeding test set of container, cover and float.
