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
