Cement, Lime, Plaster and Mortar

The quality of cement is vital for the production of good concrete, so the manufacture of cement requires stringent control. A number of tests are performed in the cement plant laboratory to ensure that it is of the desired quality and conforms to the requirements of the relevant national standards. The following are the most important tests conducted on cement, lime, plaster and mortar:

Fineness, Consistency and Setting Time
Soundness of Cement and Hydrated Lime
Workability and Sample Preparation
