The field test of cement are
1.Insert the hand in cement bag,one should feel cool.
2.Rub the cement between fingers,one should feel silky
3.Through handfull of cement in a bucket of water it should float before it sinks.
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.
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

The specific gravity of pozzolana cement is 3.15The specific gravity test can be done by using the bottle method.For finding the specific gravity of cement by bottle method, instead of water kerosene is used.
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.
Im guessing that you mean field test of concrete and not cement. Typically testing for air content, slump, and temperature are performated as outlined by ACI.
To ensure it complies with the specifications for the type of cement and the use to which it is put.
Slump test
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.
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
You can control the blaine of cement, which is simply the fineness of the cement mixture, by calculating it with an automatic air permeability test during production.
1. Measure the work-ability of cement. 2. Determining the quality test of cement.
field density test
Kerosene, a petroleum product will not interact chemically with Portland cement - water will.
