The compaction factor is defined as the ratio of the mass of the concrete compacted in the compaction factor apparatus to the mass of the fully compacted concrete. It involves dropping a volume of concrete from one hopper to another and measuring the volume of concrete in the final hopper to that of a fully compacted volume. The results of the compaction factor test can be correlated to slump, although the relationship is not linear. This test is difficult to run in the field and is not practical for large aggregates (over 1 inch) Compared to the slump test, the apparatus is bulky and a balance is required to perform measurements.

The apparatus, consist of a rigid frame that supports two conical hoppers vertically aligned above each other and mounted above a cylinder. The top hopper is slightly larger than the bottom hopper, while the cylinder is smaller in volume than both hoppers. To perform the test, the top hopper is filled with concrete but not compacted.

The top hopper is slightly larger than the bottom hopper, while the cylinder is smaller in volume than both hoppers. To perform the test, the top hopper is filled with concrete but not compacted. The door on the bottom of the top hopper is opened and the concrete is allowed to drop into the lower hopper. Once all of the concrete has fallen from the top hopper, the door on the lower hopper is opened to allow the concrete to fall to the bottom cylinder. The excess concrete is carefully struck off the top of the cylinder and the mass of the concrete in the cylinder is recorded. This mass is compared to the mass of fully compacted concrete in the same cylinder achieved with hand rodding or vibration. Complete with trowel and tamping bar 0-60 cms long X 16mm dia. Optional Accessories: Concrete Scoop Straight Edge Weighing Balance

A useful tool for workability determination of concrete mixes of very low workability such as those normally used with Concrete, compacted by Vibration. Concrete mix having maximum size of aggregate exceeding 38 mm can be tested for workability. Apparatus is complete with hoppers and receiver assembly. It consists of two rigid conical hoppers and a cylinder mounted on a rigid metal frame. The lower openings of the hoppers are fitted with hinged trapdoors having a quick release catches. A circular metal plate is provided to cover the top of the cylinder. Supplied complete with one plaster's trowel and one tamping rod, 16mm dia x 600mm long, both ends rounded.

Compaction Factor Apparatus (AIM 337) Ref Std :IS 5515   Compaction factor is the ratio of the weight of partially compacted concrete to the weight of the concrete when fully compacted in the same mould. The weight of partially compacted concrete in relation to its fully compacted state is a reasonably good indication of the workability of concrete.   Application Compaction Test Industry Civil Infrastructure Cement/RMC Construction Chemicals Dams & Tunnels Fly Ash Irrigation Railways Sleepers Real Estate Refractories Roads, Highways & Bridges Education Architecture Building Technology Civil Department Geotechnical Science Colleges Metal & Material Tiles & Ceramics Special Applications Fly Ash Traffic & Transportation Railways Roads, Highways & Bridges
