Compressive Strength of Cement and Cement Compression Test Machine
admin2024-07-22T10:55:43+03:00Compressive Strength of Cement
Compressive Strength of Cement is the important basic data to be considered while selecting the cement for the construction. Compressive strength is the capacity of material or structure to resist or withstand under compression. The Compressive strength of a material is determined by the ability of the...
Aggregate Impact Value Test Apparatus
admin2024-07-23T09:10:27+03:00Aggregate Impact Value Test Apparatus, Procedure and Uses
Due to movement of vehicle on the road the aggregates are subjected to impact resulting in their breaking down into smaller pieces. The aggregates should therefore have sufficient toughness to resist their disintegration on due to impact. This characteristics is measured by impact value...
Specific Gravity Frame
admin2022-06-29T12:48:22+03:00Objectives of Specific Gravity and Water Absorption Test
Specific Gravity and Water Absorption Test of Coarse Aggregate are two important tests of coarse aggregate used in constructionSpecific Gravity
“Specific Gravity is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of aggregate to the weight of an equal volume of water.” The specific gravity is usually showed the strength and quality of the material. The specific gravity of aggregates test is usually used for the identification of stones or aggregates. Aggregates with low specific gravity values are mostly weaker than...

Measurement of Air Content in Concrete
admin2022-06-28T12:52:17+03:00AIR CONTENT METER
Air content of concrete is measured by the pressure air measurement method which is based on the principles of The Boyle's law. The Boyle's law states that the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. By the application of pressure on a concrete of known volume (that...
CONCRETE SLUMP TESTS – MEASURING THE WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE
admin2022-07-04T10:27:54+03:00Concrete slump test or slump cone test is to determine the workability or consistency of concrete mix prepared at the laboratory or the construction site during the progress of the work. Concrete slump test is carried out from batch to batch to check the uniform quality of concrete during construction. The slump test...
Vicat Test – Consistency Test of Cement
admin2022-06-28T10:13:02+03:00AIM To determine the quantity of water required to produce a cement paste of standard consistency as per IS: 4031 (Part 4) – 1988. PRINCIPLE The standard consistency of a cement paste is defined as that consistency which will permit the Vicat Plunger to penetrate to a point 5 to 7 mm from the bottom of the Vicat mould. APPARATUS Vicat...
