Suitability of Mix for Compaction with Vibrator:

The consistency of concrete depends upon the placing conditions, type of mix and the efficiency of the vibrator. The slump should not exceed 5 cm when compacting concrete along with vibrators. Here if the slump of the concrete mix is more, the segregation will take place. Segregation should be avoided under all circumstances.
