Cement

In the cement section, the main tests are carried out on cement, compressive strength, consistency and setting time of cement, fineness of cement, Loss on ignition test, and soundness test which is one of the important test that must be carried out to ascertain the quality of cement in hot regions, all tests are performed according to EN and ASTM standards

• Determination of setting times and soundness, BS EN – 196-3
• Determination of flexure and compressive strength, BS EN – 196-3
• Determination of fineness, BS EN – 196-1
• Density of Hydraulic Cement, BS EN – 196-6
• Loss on Ignition Cement Test, ASTM D7348
