Compaction Factor Apparatus

Product Details :

We bring forth for our clients Compaction Factor App. that is generally defined as the ratio of the mass of the concrete when compacted in the compaction factor along with the apparatus to the mass of the fully compacted concrete. This involves dropping of a volume of a concrete from one hopper to another and appropriately measuring the volume of concrete in that of the final hopper to the fully compacted volume. The results of this compaction factor test can be easily correlated to slump even though the relationship is not linear. Besides, this test is difficult to run in the field and is also not practical for large aggregates over 1 inch. Comparing to the slump test, this apparatus is bulky and an appropriate balance is requisite to perform measurements.
