What else can I help you with?
Factors affecting demand of cement?
the rise of price of cement
What are the factors that effects the normal consistency of a cement?
following factors which affects the consistency of cement:- 1. fineness of cement 2. temperature. 3. method of mixing water . 4. %of admixtures in cement (flyash in case of PPC) 5. w/c ratio
Factors affecting location of cement industries?
Factors affecting the location of cement industries include proximity to raw materials, a strong labor force, good roads and transportation. Many cement plants are built near limestone quarries or coal mines.
What is the concistency of a cement paste?
consistency of cement 31- 33 %
What is the importance of standard consistency test?
by standard consistency test we determine standard consistency of cement which is denoted by p. as we know standard consistency value for a cement its value is used for making the paste for determining setting time, soundness, compressive strength of cement
What will satisfy the ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency of cement?
To satisfy the ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency of cement: The Amount of Water that brings the cement paste to standard condition should vary between 22% to 30% by weight of dry cement.
Factors affecting mix design?
Compressive Strength Workability Durability Maximum Size of Aggregate Water/Cement Ratio Quality Control
What is the range of values of standard consistency of cement?
40
What is standard consistency of a cement paste?
It is normal for Ordinary Portland cement to have a consistency ranging from 25-35%. To prepare cement paste of standard consistency, 25-35% of water must be added to cement. For a more detailed explanation, let us assume that a standard consistency is 30%. To make this quantity, add 30% water to 400g of cement.
What is the importance of performing the experiment to determine the normal consistency of cement?
1. Measure the work-ability of cement. 2. Determining the quality test of cement.
Normal consistency of cement?
Consistency means amount of water needed to prepare a plastic mix.Consistency test is done using Vicat's appartus.Consistency of cement should be less than 30%consistency test is used to find the amount of water to be mixed with cement.It is necessary to find the consistency because amount of water present in the cement paste may affect the setting time.standard consistency is indicated by the vicat plunger reading (5 to 7) from the bottom of mould(IS 4031 (part 4)1988)
What are the factors affecting the initial setting time of cement?
When cement is mixed with water, it forms slurry which gradually becomes less plastic with the passage of time & finally a hard mass is obtained. In this process, at a certain stage when the cement paste is sufficiently rigid to withstand a definite amount of Pressure, it is said to have set & the time required to reach this stage is termed as "setting time".
