About Compaction Factor Apparatus with two conical hoppers

Compaction Factor Apparatus: MTCT-103


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 Compared to the slump test, the apparatus is bulky and a balance is required to perform measurements.

Specification of  Compaction Apparatus.

  • 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 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 Roding or vibration.
  • Complete with trowel and tamping bar 0-60 cms long X 16mm dia.

 



Robust Construction and Design

Built from heavy-duty powder coated mild steel, the apparatus is designed to withstand rigorous use in demanding environments. The detachable hoppers make cleaning and maintenance straightforward, promoting consistent results and extending the lifespan of the equipment.


Accurate Testing for Concrete Workability

The system accommodates a wide range of concrete mixes, allowing users to measure compaction factors with high precision. With a graduated measuring cylinder and immediate response time, technicians can assess concrete quality quickly and reliably for enhanced productivity.


Comprehensive Accessories Included

Every unit is supplied with essential accessories: a steel trowel, graduated measuring cylinder, tamping rod, and cleaning brush. These tools support proper sample handling and apparatus care, ensuring smooth operation and reliable test outcomes every time.

FAQs of Compaction Factor Apparatus with two conical hoppers:


Q: How is the compaction factor measured using this apparatus?

A: The compaction factor is determined by filling two conical hoppers, releasing concrete into a graduated measuring cylinder via the manual lever, and measuring the volumes to calculate the ratio that indicates workability.

Q: What types of concrete can be tested with the Compaction Factor Apparatus?

A: This apparatus accommodates various grades and mixes of fresh concrete, making it suitable for both standard and specialized testing applications in construction and laboratory settings.

Q: When should this apparatus be used for concrete testing?

A: It should be utilized whenever assessing the workability of freshly mixed concrete, particularly for quality assurance in construction projects, material research, or mix design evaluation.

Q: Where can this equipment be installed and operated?

A: The floor-standing design allows placement in laboratories, construction sites, or quality control facilities; it does not require electrical power and can operate manually in diverse settings across India.

Q: What is the process of conducting a compaction factor test?

A: The operator manually loads concrete into the upper hopper, releases it into the lower hopper using the quick-release lever, then into the measuring cylinder, and finally analyzes the measured volume to calculate the compaction factor.

Q: What benefits does powder coated mild steel construction offer?

A: Powder coated mild steel provides superior durability, resistance to corrosion, and easy cleaning, ensuring stable operation and longevity even in humid conditions up to 95% relative humidity.

Q: How does the apparatus facilitate accuracy and reliability in testing?

A: The two conical hoppers, precise graduated cylinder, immediate response, and manual control ensure both repeatability and accuracy, meeting stringent standards for concrete workability assessment.
