Abstract
A comparison of expected performance of the vast number of different compactors available today cannot be made using data normally given on equipment specification sheets. A unified system is presented for combining the essential information into expressions for compactive effort, productivity, and power requirements. This approach is practical and may be used now by designers or users of the compactors, but further development of the system is also encouraged.
