    ASTM C 94 Jobsite Water Addition


    1. Establish the maximum allowable slump and water content permitted by the job specification.
    2. Estimate or determine the concrete slump from the first portion of concrete discharged from the truck.
    3. Add an amount of water such that the maximum slump or water-cement ratio according to the specifica-
    tion is not exceeded.
    4. Measure and record the amount of water added. Water in excess of that permitted above should be
    authorized by a designated representative of the purchaser.
    5. Mix the concrete for 30 revolutions of the mixer drum at mixing speed.
    6. Do not add water if:
    a. the maximum water-cement ratio is reached,
    b. the maximum slump is obtained, or
    c. more than 1/4 cu.yd. (0.2 m3 ) has been discharged from the mixer.
