About Compaction Factor Apparatus with metal frame

Compaction Factor Apparatus

The apparatus is used for determining the workability 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 workability where true slump values are not reliable.

Specification :

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.




Rugged Construction for Lasting Performance

Manufactured from heavy-duty mild steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coating, the compaction factor apparatus delivers outstanding durability in demanding laboratory environments. Its blue or grey finish not only adds aesthetic value but also ensures long-lasting resistance against wear and environmental factors, making it ideal for repeated, daily use in civil engineering laboratories.


Precision Testing for Concrete Workability

Equipped with dual conical hoppers, a cylindrical receiver, and lever-operated trap doors, this manual apparatus provides consistent and reliable workability readings. Designed to accommodate concrete mixes with up to 25 mm aggregate, its measurement accuracy of 0.2% enables precise assessment of concrete mix performance, utilizing manual graduated cylinder readings for authenticity.


Easy Operation, Cleaning, and Maintenance

Operation is entirely manualrequiring no power supplyand involves simple hand-lever controls for releasing trap doors. The design allows for quick dismantling and straightforward cleaning, reducing downtime between tests and making it user-friendly for busy laboratory settings. Its free-standing structure and manageable 40 kg weight ensure easy setup and mobility within your lab.

FAQs of Compaction Factor Apparatus with metal frame:


Q: How is the compaction factor apparatus operated during testing?

A: The compaction factor apparatus is purely manual; you use the hand lever to release the trap doors in sequence, allowing concrete to flow from one hopper to the next and finally into the receiver. The compacted concrete is then measured using a graduated cylinder for precise results.

Q: What is the typical application and benefit of using this apparatus in a laboratory?

A: This apparatus is primarily used in civil engineering labs to evaluate the workability of fresh concrete mixes. Its accuracy assists researchers, students, and engineers in optimizing mix design, leading to improved construction quality and material efficiency.

Q: When should the compaction factor test be performed using this equipment?

A: Compaction factor tests are conducted on fresh concrete mixtures prior to placement, typically during trial mix preparations or quality control assessments in research and teaching environments.

Q: Where is this apparatus commonly installed and used?

A: The compaction factor apparatus is free-standing and designed for use in standard civil engineering laboratories. Its compact design and durable construction make it suitable for both teaching institutions and professional material testing labs across India and beyond.

Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the compaction factor apparatus?

A: After each test, the apparatus can be easily dismantled to allow thorough cleaning of the hoppers, cylinder, and trap doors. The powder-coated finish helps prevent corrosion, ensuring low maintenance and a longer lifespan even after repeated washings.

Q: Can this apparatus test large aggregate sizes and a range of concrete workabilities?

A: Yes, the apparatus is designed to handle aggregates up to 25 mm in size and measures both low and high workability concrete mixes, making it versatile for various mix designs and research requirements.

Q: What advantages does the mild steel construction provide for this equipment?

A: Heavy-duty mild steel ensures structural integrity and resilience against regular handling. The powder-coated finish adds extra corrosion resistance, resulting in a reliable and long-lasting addition to any laboratory setup.
