Sous cette aiguille, le matériau gâché est disposé dans un anneau de 4 cm de haut. L'essai dont le processus est normalisé [...] consiste à mesurer, à 20°C, les temps écoulés entre le moment de l'addition d'eau dans le liant et le moment où l'aiguille, plongeant dans la pâte, n'atteint plus le fond [...]; puis le temps écoulé jusqu'à ce que l'aiguille ne s'enfonce plus du tout dans la pâte [...] 3, record 4, French, - aiguille%20de%20Vicat
