    The document describes a method for testing the soundness of cement according to IS: 4031 (Part 3) - 1988. The method involves making a cement paste with a standard consistency and placing it in a mold between glass sheets with a small load. The mold is first immersed in water at a special temperature for 16 hours, then the expansion is measured. It is then immersed in boiling water for 3 hours, cooled, and the expansion is measured again. The difference between the measurements gives the expansion of the cement, with a permissible variation of +1.0g or less indicating soundness.

    Test of soundness of Cement

    To determine the soundness of cement use the method of Le-Chandelier as per IS: 4031 (Part 3)
    1988. Permissible vararion of balance is a load of 1000g should be +1.0g and Water bath.
    Procedure to determine soundness of cement
    The mould place on a glass sheet and body out the cement paste. The water should required to give
    a paste of standard consistency forming by gauging cement.
    ould caver another piece of glass and put a little load that. !mmersed the mould in the water with
    special tempeture . "fter #$ hours pull out and measure the distance beetwen indicastor points to
    the nearest 0.% mm.
    "gain put into the water which was featured before and bring the mould to the water wchich should
    achived the poiling point after #% to &0 minutes and boild it for & hours.
    'emoved the mould from boild water( it should await for cool down. easure again distance
    between the indicators points.
    )ifference between first and second measurment gives e*pansion of cement
