What is the purpose of conducting specific gravity test?
Specific gravity refers to the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. The purpose conducting specific gravity test is to determine if the test fluid will be heavier or lighter than the standard fluid.
Why are test on cement necessary in cement plant?
To ensure it complies with the specifications for the type of cement and the use to which it is put.
What is unsoundness of cement?
when we test the cement with the help of Le-Chatlier apparatus and then we found if the expansion is more than 10 mm then the cement is said to be unsoundness
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.
Why the compacting factor test must do fast after the concrete was mixed?
Because the cement will damage
What is specific gravity of portland pozzolona cement?
The specific gravity of portland pozzolana cement is 3.15.The specific gravity test can be done on cement using the bottle method.In this method instead of water kerosene is used to test the specific gravity of cement.

What does 1.013 specific gravity urine mean?
specific gravity on urine test strip, what does this mean result 1.015
What is the process of calculating quantity of cement sand metal in concrete mix design?
Choose the grade of concrete & assume minimum water/cement ratio.Conduct some initial tests on the materials like cement, sand & metal(coarse aggregate).Tests like UNIT WEGHT, SPECIFIC GRAVITY,SIEVE ANALYSIS,SLUMP CONE TEST & COMPACTION FACTOR TEST. According to the obtained results do the mix design from IS CODE of IS800-10262 check for water cement ratio & calculate the quantity of cement, sand & coarse aggregate.
What test is used to determine a mineral based on its density in comparison to the density of water?
specific gravity test
Which instrument is used to test the specific gravity of a forklift battery?
That's a 'hydrometer'.
Can you add a bit of a drug to your urine when you have to do a drug test?
Not if they check for pH and Specific gravity
What precautions you take while conducting specific gravity test?
be careful holding the thermometer
What do Multistix Generic Urine Test test for?
It test for Leucocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Keytone, Bilirubin and Glucose
