– This cement contains high aluminatepercentage usually 35%.
– It gains strength very rapidly with in 24
hours. – It has resistance to sulphates, action of
frost, action of acid and hightemperature.

(7) WHITE CEMENT:
Lime stone and china clay free fromiron oide are suita!le for itsmanufacturing.
This cement is called snowcrete.
It dries "uic#ly, has more strength andhas good aesthetic view.
It is used for $oor nish, pastering
wor#, ormental wor# etc.,It is mainly used for architecturalnishing in the !uildings.

• It is manufactured !y grinding &ortlandcement clin#er and pu''olana (usually$y ash )* to 25% !y mass of &&+.
• The resistance to chemical attac#increases ma#ing it suita!le for marinewor#s.
• It has low heat evolution and is used inthe places of mass concrete such asdams and in places of high temperature.

• It is produced !y adding an epandingmedium li#e supho - aluminate and asta!ili'ing agent to ordinary cement.
• This cement epands !ut other types ofcements shrin#s.

Field Testing• pen the !ag and ta#e a good loo# at the
cement, then it should not contain any visi!lelumps.
• +olour of cement should !e greenish grey.
• ne should feel cool when thrusting hand intocement !ag.
• hen we touch the cement, it should give asmooth 6not a gritty feeling.
• hen we throw the cement on a !uc#et full ofwater !efore it sin#s the particles should $ow.

Standard Consistency Test
The standard consistency o a cement paste is
deined as that consistency !hich !ill permit a "icat
plunger having 1# mm diameter and 5# mm lengthto penetrate to a depth o 33$35 mm rom the top o
the mould.
USE:
%sed to ind out the percentage o !aterre&uired to produce a cement paste o
standard consistency.
This is also called normal consistency.

Setting Time Test:
• In cement hardening process, two
instants are very important, i.e.initial setting and nal setting.
-
8/9/2019 Testing of Cement and its types
16/33
INITIAL SETTIN TI!E
• The time elapsed !etween themoment that the water is added to
the cement, to the time that thepaste starts losing its plasticity.
• 1ormally a minimum of 3* min has
maintained for miing 6 handlingoperations.
• It should not !e less than 3* min.
-
8/9/2019 Testing of Cement and its types
17/33
FINAL SETTIN TI!E
• The time elapsed !etween the moment thewater is added to the cement, and thetime when the paste has completely lost
its plasticity and has attained su7cienthardness to resist certain denite pressure.
• It should not eceed )* hours for &+.
• The time at which the needle should notma#e any impression on the cement paste,is #nown as inal setting time.

FINENESS TEST
• The fineness of cement has an important bearing on the rate
of hydration, rate of gain of strength, evolution of heat.• Finer cement offers greater surface area.• Disadvantage of fine grinding is that it is susceptible to air
set & early deterioration.• Maximum no. of particles in a sample of cement less than
1microns.• The smallest particle should have a si!e if 1."microns.
• #arge particle should have a si!e of 1microns.• Fineness of cement is tested in t$o $ays.• %y sieving.• %y determination specific surface by air permeability
method.

MANUFACTURING OF CEMENT:

(a) Dry process:
n this process calcareous material such as lime
stone calcium carbonate' and argillaceousmaterial such as clay are ground separately to fine
po$der in the absence of $ater and then are mixed
together in the desired proportions. (ater is thenadded to it for getting thic- paste and then its ca-es
are formed, dried and burnt in -ilns. This process
is usually used $hen ra$ materials are very strongand hard.
n this process, the ra$ materials are changed to
po$dered form in the absence of $ater.

(b) Wet process:
n this process, the ra$ materials are changed to po$dered form in the presence of $ater.
n this process, ra$ materials are pulveri!ed by using
a %all mill, $hich is a rotary steel cylinder $ith
hardened steel balls. (hen the mill rotates, steel balls pulveri!e the ra$ materials $hich form slurry
liuid mixture'. The slurry is then pumped into
storage tan-s, $here correct proportioning is done.
/roper composition of ra$ materials can be ensured
by using $et process than dry process. 0orrected
slurry is then fed into rotary -iln for burning.

(2) !r"#"$:
0ollected slurry is feed to rotary -iln, $hichis a 2" m or more long, 2 m or more in
diameter and temperature arrangement is up
to 1"314" degree 0.t this temperature slurry losses moisture
and forms into small lumps, after that
changes to clin-ers. 0lin-ers are cooled inanother inclined tube similar to -iln but of
lesser length.

(%) Gr#""$:
5o$ the final process is grinding of clin-er, it
is first cooled do$n to atmospherictemperature. +rinding of clin-er is done in
large tube mills. fter proper grinding,
gypsum 0alcium sulphate' of 132 6 isadded for controlling the setting time of
cement.
Finally, fine ground cement is stored instorage tan-s from $here it is dra$n for
pac-ing.
