Place filled cylinder away from the workings on flat and level surface, free from any vibration 4. Leave undisturbed for 2 hours and then read ΔH – the amount of free water on the top of the grout. 5. Record - Date/Shift ______/______ - Grout mix/type ____________ - time sampled _______ - time of reading _______ - duration _______ min - ΔH _______ ml • Bleed = ΔH/1000 x 100 = ______%
