I have already discuses in the previous Article Types of Cement Used in construction work.
Here we have some Test to find the Good Quality of Cement at site
1: date of Paking
2: Rubbing Test
3: Float Test
4: Temperature Test
5: Strength Test
6: Lump Test
7: Color of Cement
1: Date of Packing :
When we use any type of cement for construction works so first of all we have to check the manufacturing date of cement , Because the cement should be used before 90 days from the date of packing

Simply insert your hand into the cement bag, it should give cool feeling if its quality is good. Otherwise, you may feel warm because of hydration reaction.
5: Strength Test
Prepare a cement block of 25 mm x 25 mm and 200 mm in length. Now submerge it in water for 7 days. Now place it on supports 15 cm apart and load it with 34 kg weight. Block made from good cement will not show any signs of failure.
