Compaction Factor Apparatus
Compaction Factor Apparatus – Laboratory Equipment
The apparatus is used for determining the work-ability of fresh concrete, provided the maximum size of the aggregate does not exceed 38 mm. The test is particularly useful for concrete mixes of very low work-ability where true slump values are not reliable.
- The apparatus consists of two conical hoppers having a hinged trap door attached to the lower end of each hopper.
- Allowing the concrete sample to flow freely into the cylindrical mould.
- The hoppers and the mould are mounted onto a rigid steel frame and are easily removable for cleaning.
