Original Mix Proportions Test

An original mix proportions test is a laboratory testing method that is used to determine the proportions of the various ingredients that were used to make a sample of concrete or mortar. The test is typically performed on hardened material.

Original mix proportions tests are commonly used in the concrete industry to ensure that the mix design of a particular batch of concrete meets the specified requirements for strength, durability, and other performance characteristics. The results of the test can also be used to troubleshoot problems with the quality or performance of the concrete, such as low strength or poor durability.
