Q: What are dimensions of a mould of Vicat's Apparatus in which cement paste is filled?
  • A. 90 mm diameter and 40 mm height
  • B. 80 mm diameter and 50 mm height
  • C. 90 mm diameter and 50 mm height
  • D. 80 mm diameter and 40 mm height
Correct Answer: Option D - Vicat apparatus– The standard consistency of cement paste test is carried out by the vicat apparatus. Dimension– Weight of plunger = 300 g Diameter = 10 mm, length = 50 mm Penetration depth = 33 to 35 mm (from the top) Mould size, depth = 40 mm Diameter = 80 mm • It is used for determine the setting time of cement.
