What is Consistency of Cement?
Consistency of Cement is amount of water required to initiate the chemical reaction between cement and water to make the uniform cement paste.
Define Standard Consistency of Cement?
Standard Consistency of Cement is defined as Consistency which will permit Vicat plunger with 10mm diameter and 50mm length to penetrate to a depth of 33-35mm from top of the mould.
Standard Consistency of Cement can also be defined as Consistency of cement which will permit Vicat plunger to penetrate to the point 5-7mm from the bottom of the mould.
Also Standard Consistency means the amount of water required to make Cement Paste Plastic.
1) The document describes a test conducted to determine the fineness of cement. Fineness is an important property that affects the rate of hydration and strength development.
2) The test involves sieving 100g samples of cement through a 90 micrometer sieve. The weight of residue retained on the sieve is measured and used to calculate the percentage fineness.
3) The results of tests on three cement samples showed average fineness of 94.07%, indicating good quality cement. Proper procedure and precautions were followed to ensure accurate results.
In the laboratory, the testing of cement is done to check the quality of cement for properties, fineness, soundness, consistency, setting time, strength etc.
Cement tests can be divided into field tests and laboratory tests. Laboratory tests include fineness test, standard consistency test, setting time test, compressive strength test, soundness test, and tensile strength test. The fineness test measures the mean size of cement grains and finer cement results in earlier strength development but more shrinkage and cracking. The standard consistency test determines the percentage of water required to form a cement paste using a Vicat apparatus. The setting time test uses the Vicat apparatus to detect when cement paste reaches its initial and final set. The compressive strength test forms cement mortar cubes which are tested at 3 and 7 days to determine strength. The soundness test uses a Le-Chatelier apparatus to

So Compressive strength test on Cement either done in the form of mortar or concrete. In this article, we will take a look at the compressive strength test of cement mortar using standard sand conforming to IS 650-1991.
Compressive strength of cement is determined by compressive strength test on mortar cubes compacted by means of a standard vibration machine. Standard sand (IS:650) is used for the preparation of cement mortar. The specimen is in the form of cubes 70.6mm*70.6mm*70.6mm.
The basic aim is to find out the water content required to produce a cement paste of standard consistency as specified by the IS: 4031 (Part 4) – 1988. The principle is that standard consistency of cement is that consistency at which the Vicat plunger penetrates to a point 5-7mm from the bottom of Vicat mould.
This document describes a test performed to determine the setting time of hydraulic cement using a Vicat needle apparatus. The initial setting time is defined as the time when the needle cannot penetrate more than 25mm into the cement paste. The final setting time is when the 5mm needle leaves no visible impression. The test involves mixing cement and water, then taking penetration measurements with the needles over time. The initial setting time for the sample tested was calculated to be 82.5 minutes, which meets the Iraqi specification of no less than 45 minutes.
This test method is used to determine the time of setting of the cement by VICAT
needle apparatus.
The knowledge of the setting time of the cement is always helpful in deciding the time duration
to mix, transport, place and compact the concrete effectively.
We always prefer a larger initial setting time so that we can mix, transport and place the
concrete easily. According to ASTM specifications, the initial setting time shall not be less
than 45 min but in the field we prefer an initial setting time not less than 90 min.
A smaller value of the final setting time is always preferred in order to avoid large expenditures
on the formwork. According to most of the specifications, the final setting time shall not be
greater than 10hrs and shall not be less than (90 + 1.2 x (initial setting time)) min.
The document summarizes various tests conducted on cement, including:
1. Field testing to check for lumps, color, texture and consistency.
2. Standard consistency tests to determine the percentage of water required for a cement paste.
3. Fineness tests using sieving or air permeability methods to check particle size.
4. Soundness tests using a Le Chatelier apparatus to ensure cement does not expand after setting.
5. Strength tests involving casting cement-sand mortar cubes and breaking them to measure compressive strength after curing.
This document summarizes a student's experiment to determine the fineness of cement through sieve analysis. The student took three cement samples and weighed them before and after shaking them through a #200 sieve. The percentage of fineness was calculated for each sample and averaged.

Possible sources of error included insufficient shaking of the sieve and clogged sieve holes.
Normal Consistency and Sitting times of cement pasteHafizullah Sadat
This document describes procedures for determining the normal consistency, setting times, and fineness of cement through various tests. The normal consistency test involves adding varying amounts of water to cement to find the water-cement ratio that gives a paste with a penetration depth between 5-7 mm. The initial setting time is found to be 1 hour and 22 minutes, while the final setting time is generally between 10-12 hours. The Blaine permeability test measures fineness through the specific surface area, found to be 93.52 m2/kg for the sample tested.
Plaster is a building material used to coat and protect walls and ceilings. It involves mixing cement, sand, water and fibers to create a mortar that is applied to surfaces. The manual plastering process includes preparing scaffolding and mixing mortar on-site, applying chicken mesh to joints, using level pads as guides for uniform thickness, smoothing and finishing the plaster coat. Challenges include lack of proper supervision, quality control issues like inconsistent water-cement ratios, and inefficient work practices.
This document provides procedures for conducting normal consistency, set time, compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength tests on cement paste and mortar samples. It defines key terms and outlines the steps to prepare and test samples using a Vicat apparatus and universal testing machine. The results from 7-day compressive strength tests on cement mortar cubes met the ASTM C52 specification of 83.6 psi.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
