An arbitrary division has been made for the setting time of cement as initial setting time and final setting time.It is difficult to draw a rigid line between these two arbitrary divisions.For convenience,initial setting time is regarded as the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement,to the time that the paste starts losing its plasticity.The final setting time is the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement ,and the time when the paste has completely lost its plasticity and has attained sufficient firmness to resist certain definite pressure.

What is initial setting time of cement?
It's the time from which cement starts the setting process after water is added.. Usually it is 30 min.. It can be delayed or advanced using chemicals..
How does the fineness affect the time of setting?
Setting begins to occur after the concrete is mixed and even before pouring. The cement in the concrete begins to stiffen after mixed with water. The concrete is beginning to change from liquid form to solid form. During the setting process, the concrete does gain strength, which is the beginning of the hardening process. When the water ingredient is added to the concrete mix, the concrete is still pliable and flexible, sort of a paste. There is two stages of setting: initial and final setting. Initial setting is when the concrete loses it flexibility and begins to harden. Final setting is when the concrete can sustain some load, but still has some moisture within the mixture. Hardening
Give one reason you shouhld make the paging file maximum size the same as the paging file initial size?
From TechNet: Set the Same Initial and Maximum Size Setting the paging file's initial size and maximum size to the same value increases efficiency because the operating system does not need to expand the file during processing. Setting different values for initial and maximum size can contribute to disk fragmentation.

How ican extend initial setting time of concrete?
Initial Setting time can be extended by adding retarders during mixing of concrete. Sugar solution is the easily available retarder.
What is initial and final setting time in cement according to ASTM?
Using a Vicat needle, the ASTM determined time for initial concrete setting is equal to or greater than 45 minutes. They set the final setting time is equal to or greter than 375 minutes.
What is vicat apparatus used for?
vicats apparatus is used for initial setting time of cement.

What does alternate setting mean?
An alternate setting is one that is used when the initial setting is not in use or not available. The preferredis the initial but sometimes an alternate is used in its place.
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".
Does this cement satisfy astm standard for initial setting time?
does this cement satisfy ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency
