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.
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 are the concrete mix additives for fast curing?
You could add lime putty. But the best solution would be to get a cement that sets in the amount of time you need, a 'slow setting cement'.
What type of cement speeds up concrete set time?
Rapid-setting cement, often referred to as quick-setting or fast-setting cement, is designed to accelerate the concrete set time. These types of cements contain specific additives that enhance hydration and reduce the time required for the concrete to reach initial strength. They are commonly used in applications where time is critical, such as in patching or repairs.

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.
Why is it necessary to add lime to a render mix?
lime is added to sand and portland cement to make mortar plyable and workable, it also adds strength and slows set time. Also it adds Flexibility
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
Are the head bolts reusable on 1998 KIA Sportage 2.0L engine?
Best to replace - after initial torque setting it is difficult to get an accurate setting a 2nd time (threads have been stretched)
What are the concrete mix additives for fast curing?
You could add lime putty. But the best solution would be to get a cement that sets in the amount of time you need, a 'slow setting cement'.
