Specific Gravity of Cement

Fineness of Cement (AASHTO T 128)

Normal Consistency of Cement (AASHTO T 129)

Initial & Final Setting Time (IS: 269 & 4031)
The ratio of the mass of a given volume of the
substance to the mass of an equal volume of the
substance to the mass of an equal volume of water
To determine the fineness of cement by dry sieving
Weight accurately 100 gms of the cement and place it on
a standard 90 micron IS sieve
The Percentage Residue should not exceed 10%.
