Can you reuse the cement after it has crossed its setting time?
yes, if it is before the initial setting time...
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..
What is flash setting in cement?
Flash setting in cement refers to the rapid hardening of cement that occurs when water is added to the dry mix. This phenomenon can lead to a quick loss of workability, making it difficult to manipulate the cement before it sets. Flash setting is often undesirable in construction because it can complicate the mixing and application processes. It can be caused by factors such as high temperatures or the presence of certain additives.
What is rain forced cement concrete?
It is not rain forced but re-inforced cement concrete. It means the concrete after setting and hardening.
What is initial Setting time?
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 flash and false setting of cement?
yes I'm also little confused ..
How gypsum effect the setting time of cement?
gypsum increase the setting time of cement.
What is the difference between false set and flash set of cement?
False set occurs when cement appears to set but can still be remixed and flow, while flash set is a rapid and irreversible setting of cement that cannot be reversed. False set can be corrected by adding more water and re-mixing, while flash set requires the cement to be discarded and fresh cement to be used.
What is the importance of setting time?
because when we know the setting time of cement we easily identified that where can we use the cement according to there setting time.
Can you reuse the cement after it has crossed its setting time?
yes, if it is before the initial setting time...
Why gypsum added to cement?
3% of gypsum is added to cement to "prevent the rapid setting of cement"
What is the effect on setting time of cement if water added is less or more than 85 percent of normal constituency of cement?
how the water mixed with cement affects the time of its setting
What is the importance of setting time of cement?
because when we know the setting time of cement we easily identified that where can we use the cement according to there setting time.
Why 2 of gypsum is added to cement?
Gypsum is added to cement to decrease the setting time.
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..
Can you use trisodium citrate as a cement retarder?
Yes, trisodium citrate can be used as a cement retarder. It works by delaying the hydration process of cement, which slows down the setting time. Trisodium citrate is often preferred for its ability to control the setting time of cement mixes effectively.
What is flash setting in cement?
Flash setting in cement refers to the rapid hardening of cement that occurs when water is added to the dry mix. This phenomenon can lead to a quick loss of workability, making it difficult to manipulate the cement before it sets.
