4 Classification and Mark
4.1 Classification
According to features, ready-mixed concrete shall be divided into normal concrete and special concrete.
4.1.1 Normal concrete
Normal Concrete shall specify the concrete strength grade, slump and maximum nominal grain size(coarse aggregate) under the following ranges:
Strength grade: less than or equal C50;
Slump (mm): 25, 50, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180.
Maximum nominal grain size (coarse aggregate) (mm): 20, 25, 31.5, 40.
4.1.2 Special concrete
Special Concrete shall specify the concrete strength grade, slump and maximum nominal grain size(coarse aggregate) or other specific requirements. Besides ranges that normal concrete specifies, the concrete strength grade, slump and maximum nominal grain size(coarse aggregate) shall also be specified in the following ranges:
