Automatic Measurement Method of Slump Flow of Cement Paste Based on Dynamic Image Processing Technology

The slump flow and flow time T200 are the main parameters to evaluate the rheological properties of cement paste. Generally, the manual measurement method is used and it is difficult to get T200 accurately. In this paper, an automatic measurement method of slump flow based on dynamic image processin...

description The slump flow and flow time T200 are the main parameters to evaluate the rheological properties of cement paste. Generally, the manual measurement method is used and it is difficult to get T200 accurately. In this paper, an automatic measurement method of slump flow based on dynamic image processing technology is studied. Firstly, the cement paste flowability test video is divided into frames every 100 ms; secondly, based on the principle of perspective transformation, an automatic point selection method is proposed to correct the frame image to solve the problem of shooting angle; thirdly, the watershed algorithm based on distance transformation is used to segment the boundary of the cement paste area, and the slump flow is calculated according to the polar coordinates of the boundary; lastly, the relationship curve between slump flow and time is automatically output, and the slump flow at any time is obtained. The method is verified by nine groups of cement paste flowability tests. The results show that this method can fastly and accurately obtain the slump flow and flow time T200. Compared with the traditional manual measurement method, the measurement error of slump flow is less than 2%, and the measurement error of flow time T200 is less than 8%. The method enables real-time dynamic measurement of the slump flow.
