Some Tests Of Cement

Different Tests Of Cement To Check Its Quality

test of cement

Introduction: These are need to be adopted for testing two ways and methods. One is field based testing and second is laboratories testing. There are some tests to check the quality of cement. These are nearly 6 tests of cement under here with detail about their objective that, why we do practical of these tests and what we can gain to do these type of practical's.

 

1.  Fineness test of cement.
2.  Setting time test of cement.
3.  Soundness test of cement.                      
4.  Compression test cement.                                                  
5.  Tensile test of cement.
6.  Consistency test of cement.

1.  Fineness test:- Fineness test  is analyzed to find the strength of cement. If the cement is more crushed then its early strength will be increase. Its heat will be release and cracks appears on cement due to shrinkage. Standard  sieve is used for this purpose. There are used sieve no170 of  British standard type for this purpose.

2.  Setting time test of cement:-This is analyzed to check the cement that is fresh or can be old as result the cement is weak.Its second purpose is that to find difference b/w ordinary Portland cement and quick setting cement as result we find initial setting time of cement and final setting time of cement by this test.

3.  Soundness test of cement:-Soundness test is analyzed after setting of cement that to find changing its volume. There are many reasons to create changing in volume of cement. Actually, due to late setting of cement past, free limes and other components.

4.  Compression test of cement:-This is the best test to find compressive strength of cement that how much load takes the cement.

5.  Tensile test of cement:-With the help of this test to find tensile strength of cement and It is called also briquette test..

6.  Consistency test of cement:-Consistency test of cement is need to prepare the best past of cement and give the best quality for cement. So, we use this type of test is called consistency test.
