1: DATE OF PACKING :
When we use any type of cement for construction works so first of all
we have to check the manufacturing date of cement , Because the
cement should be used before 90 days from the date of packing .
2: RUBBING TEST :
We should get the punch of cement with finger and the cement should
be rubbing between the finger, so that time the cement should be feel smooth.
3: FLOAT TEST :
For float test we have to put some amount of cement in the glass or
other box, so the cement should be float for sometime before its sitting
.
4: TEMPERATURE TEST
Temperature test we can find very easily , first we pick some cement
from the cement bag . so that cement should give us cool feeling than
it will be the good cement.
Simply insert your hand into the cement bag, it should give cool feeling
if its quality is good. Otherwise, you may feel warm because of
hydration reaction.
5: STRENGTH TEST
Prepare a cement block of 25 mm x 25 mm and 200 mm in length.
Now submerge it in water for 7 days. Now place it on supports 15 cm
apart and load it with 34 kg weight. Block made from good cement will
not show any signs of failure.
6: CHECK FOR LUMP TEST
The lumps should be not present in the cement . and the lumps can
come in the cement due to absorption of climate.
7: COLOR OF CEMENT
