Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
VIBRATION MACHINE
o. FOR E W 0 R D
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 28 January 1982, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 The Indian Standards Institution has already published a series of
standards on methods of testing cement and concrete. It has been
recognized that reproducible and repeatable test results can be obtained
only with standard testing equipment capable of giving the desired level
of accuracy. The Sectional Committee has, therefore, decided to bring out
a series of specifications covering the requirements of equipment used for
testing cement and concrete, to encourage their development and manu-
facture in the country.
0.3 Accordingly, this standard has been prepared to cover requirements of
vibration machine used for moulding 70·6 mm cement mortar cubes in the
test for determination of compressive strength of hydraulic cement. Use of
this machine is covered in IS : 4031-1968 *.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in t~e field in
this country.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies the requirements of vibration machine used in
casting cement mortar cubes of 70·6 mm size.

·Methods of physical tests for hydraulic cement.

tRules for rounding off numerical values (revised).

3. CONSTRUCTION
3.1 Vibration machine shall be constructed generally as shown in Fig. I
and shall consist of a vibrator, housing revolving shaft with eccentric
supported on four springs, which assembly is mounted over a bed of
channel. A motor (3/4 hp, 2 800 rpm) carrying a pulley shall be coupled to
the vibrator revolving shaft through an endless belt. A belt guard shall be
provided. The machine may be fitted with time switch.

3.1.1 The vibrator shall be constructed to comply with the following

essential requirements:
a) Mass of vibrator on its supporting springs 29±0'S kg
(excluding solid eccentric and cube hut,
including mass of mould, mould clamp
and hopper)
b) Out of balance moment of eccentric shaft 0'001 6 kgm
c) Normal running speed of eccentric shaft 12 000±400 rpm
3.1.2 The centre of gravity of the vibrator, including the cube and the
mould, shall be either to the centre of the eccentric shaft or within a distance
of 25 mm below it. For this purpose, a mild steel plate may be fixed to the
vibrator.
3.2 Bed - The bed of the vibration machine shall be made of steel channel
and shall be provided with four cast iron feet. It shall be provided with
four levelling bolts. Four support springs shall be fitted for positioning the
coiled springs. A bracket shall be provided for fixing one end of a tension
spring.
3.3 Vibrator
3.3.1 The vibrator shall be mounted over four coiled springs.
3.3.2 The vibrator platform shall be provided with two guide pieces for
positioning a cast iron mould clamp which carries a cube mould of size
70'6 mm. A suitable arrangement for mounting a hopper shall be provided
and a tension spring shall be fitted as shown in Fig. 1.
3.3.3 A brass hopper fitted on to a mild steel frame with projecting lugs
shall be positioned over the mould as shown in Fig. 1.
3.3.4 The vibrator shall house a revolving shaft with an accurately
machined eccentric. A pulley shall be fitted to the shaft.
3.3.5 Springs - The springs shall be as shown in Fig. 1. The stiffness of
the spring shall be such that the natural frequency of the machine mounted
on it is well below its minimum running speed.
3.3.6 Drive - The drive should be by an endless belt running on a pulley
on the motor and a pulley on the vibrator.
3.4 Mould - The mould shall be of 70'6 mm size and shall be constructed
generally in accordance with Fig. 2. The dimensions of the mould with
tolerances shall be as specified in Table 2.
