Q: What is the main objective of the standard consistency test?
  • A. To determine the fineness of cement
  • B. To determine the amount of water required to achieve a paste of standard consistency
  • C. To determine the setting time of cement
  • D. To determine the compressive strength of cement
Correct Answer: Option B - Consistency test– Determination of the amount of mixing water required to produce a cement paste of standard consistency. This test called consistency test of cement paste. • The test for determination of water content to form the cement paste of standard consistency is conducted on vicat's apparatus.
