The '''flow table test''' or '''slump-flow test''' is a method to determine consistency of fresh [[concrete]]. '''Flow table test''' is also used to identify transportable moisture limit of solid bulk cargoes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tmltesting.com/w/index.php?title=Flow_Table_Test|title=Flow Table Test - TML Testing Wiki|website=tmltesting.com|access-date=2015-06-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170501222131/http://tmltesting.com/w/index.php?title=Flow_Table_Test|archive-date=2017-05-01|url-status=dead}}</ref> It is used primarily for assessing concrete that is too fluid (workable) to be measured using the [[Concrete slump test|slump test]], because the concrete will not retain its shape when the cone is removed.
