Experiment 6a

Experiment title: Normal consistency test of cement

Data in g: A=1826+X, B=1514, C=500, D= 496

Aim: To determine the normal consistency of cement in percentage ( 3 digits after the decimal)

Data

water added in g height of plunger from the

base in mm
90 34
93 30
98 25
102 18
105+1.5log(X) 12
108+log(X) 6
Mass of cement
taken in g 300

Experiment-7

Experiment title: Determination of the initial and final setting times of cement

Aim: To determine the initial and final setting time of cement

Also, plot a graph with time in the vertical axis for initial setting time determination.

Data for initial setting time determination:

Setting times

Interval of time in min from start height of 1 mm needle from the base in mm
5 0
20 0
80 1
120 3.5
130+1.5log(X) 4.5
135+log(X) 5.5
140+2log(X) 7
Data for final setting time determination:
Whether impression of the annular ring is
Interval of time in min from start visible
5 yes
20 yes
80 yes
120 yes
130 yes
135 yes
140 yes
170 yes
200 yes
250+log(X) yes
275+1.5log(X) No
300+2log(X) No

‘X’ is the last three digits of your exam roll number. (Eg for: 2020CEB005, X=5)
