About Compaction Factor Apparatus

Compaction Factor Apparatus-Used for determining the workability of fresh concrete, provided the maximum size of the aggregate does not exceed 38mm. The test is particularly useful for concrete mixes of very low workability where true slump values are not reliable.

Specifications:- 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 quich release catches. A circular metal plate is provided to cover the top of the cylinder. Supplied complete with one plasterer’s trowel and one tamping rod, 16mm diax600 mm long, one end rounded.

Reliable Manual Concrete Testing

Built with rugged metal materials, the Compaction Factor Apparatus is designed for precision and longevity in concrete workability assessments. Its vertical frame and funnel configuration ensure easy sample placement and consistent results during manual operation, making it a valuable addition to concrete laboratories and testing centers.

Versatility in Concrete Quality Control

Engineered for use in a wide range of concrete testing applications, this apparatus supports quality assurance in construction projects. Its standard temperature resistance and compact design allow seamless integration into existing workflows, while its reliable manual controls offer straightforward, repeatable performance.

FAQs of Compaction Factor Apparatus:

Q: How is the Compaction Factor Apparatus used in concrete testing?

A: The Compaction Factor Apparatus is used by manually introducing fresh concrete into upper and lower funnels. The apparatus then helps measure how well the concrete compacts, providing a quantifiable workability value for mix analysis.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus in concrete laboratories?

A: The main advantages include improved accuracy in workability assessment, durable metal construction for long-term use, and a compact vertical design that conserves workspace while delivering reliable test results.

Q: When should the Compaction Factor Apparatus be used during concrete quality assessment?

A: It should be utilized whenever the workability and compaction properties of concrete mixes need to be verified, typically prior to casting or during research and development phases in laboratory environments.

Q: Where can this equipment be sourced in India?

A: The Compaction Factor Apparatus is available from distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders throughout India, making it accessible for various concrete testing needs nationwide.

Q: What is the process of operating the Compaction Factor Apparatus?

A: Operation involves manually loading fresh concrete into the upper funnel, allowing it to fall into the lower funnel, and then collecting the compacted concrete for measurement without the need for electrical power.

Q: Is a warranty provided with this testing equipment?

A: Yes, the apparatus comes with a manufacturers warranty; specific details on warranty coverage can be obtained from the point of sale or the manufacturer directly.
