Compaction Factor Apparatus is a
useful tool for testing concrete mixes of very low workability such as
those normally used when concrete is to be compacted by vibration. The
apparatus is used for determining the workability of fresh concrete,
provided the maximum size of the aggregate does not exceed 38 mm.
