2021 12 21 Rubbing Test: Choose a bit of cement rub within your fingers, if it remains smooth at the time of rubbing, the quality of cement is good. But if it is rough, it signifies that cement is blended with sand. 5. Float test of cement: Choose a bit of cement and put it in water, a good quality of Cement should be submerged and should not float on water.
A. Physical Properties of Cement. 1. Fineness. It is the biggest factor in the strength of cement. Higher fineness leads to higher strength. Higher fineness denotes that there is more area for cement water reaction resulting in an

2018 2 1 Form the paste by hand, place it in a bucket of water and let it sit for 24 hours. The cement should harden and retain its shape. 4. Smell. If the cement has an earthy smell, it may contain too much clay and silt. 5. Strength. Form
Answer 1 of 3 : I am writing this answer supposing that you are asking what qualities should a good cement posses? Cement is a binding material as we all know. It is primarily used for making cement mortar or cement concrete used in construction of all RCC type of
2018 2 1 You can make some quality judgments just by feeling and looking at the cement. The cement should be lump and dust free and feel cool to the touch, indicating no hydration reaction is taking place. Look at the color. Cement for
2. C2S. Hydrates and hardens slowly. Contributes largely to strength increase at ages beyond one week. 3. C3A. Liberates a large amount of heat during the first few days of hydration and hardening. Also contributes slightly to early strength development. Gypsum added to the cement slows down the hydration rate of C 3 A.
An ideal colour of cement is grey with a light greenish shade. Cement colour gives an indication of excess clay or lime. 3. Check for lumps: Lumps are formed due to the presence of moisture in
Other useful characteristics of this material is referred: frost, high density, water resistant, fire. The strength of concrete in compression is 10 20 times greater than in tension. This parameter depends on the sand and gravel. The main role is played by the quality of the cement. It is the cement determines how stable the composition. Read More
