Cement Testing Laboratory Services
Ensuring the foundational strength, durability, and chemical compliance of cement used in critical structures.
The Foundation of Structural Strength
Accurate Testing for Reliable Concrete
As the core binder in concrete, cement quality is non-negotiable for structural safety. Our **Cement Testing laboratories** provide meticulous analysis of both the physical and chemical properties of all cement types, including Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), and Portland Slag Cement (PSC).
Comprehensive evaluation—including tests for **Compressive Strength, Fineness, and Setting Time**—ensures that the cement meets necessary standards (such as **IS 4031**), confirming its hydration characteristics and ultimate load-bearing capacity. We provide the certified data needed to proceed with confidence on any large-scale construction project.
Key Physical and Chemical Tests
We perform tests as per national and international standards to assess consistency, durability, and compliance with grade requirements.
Fineness Test
Measures the surface area per unit mass of cement. Directly affects the rate of hydration and strength development.
Test Method: IS: 4031 (P-1) 1996, IS: 2645-2003
Standard Consistency Test
Determines the amount of water required to produce a cement paste of standard workability for other tests.
Test Method: IS: 4031 (P-4) 1996
Setting Time (Initial & Final)
Measures the time required for the cement paste to lose its plasticity and then become hard. Critical for construction scheduling.
Test Method: IS: 4031 (P-5) 1996
Compressive Strength Test
Determines the maximum compressive load the cement mortar cube can withstand. The ultimate measure of cement quality.
Test Method: IS: 4031 (P-6) 1996
Soundness Test (Le-Chatelier Method)
Ensures the cement does not undergo undesirable expansion after setting, which could cause cracking in the concrete.
Test Method: IS: 4031 (P-3) 1996
Specific Gravity Test
A quality control measure to check for adulteration and ensure the proper weight of the cement particles.
Test Method: IS: 2386 (P-3) 1963
Chemical Analysis
Detailed measurement of essential chemical compounds (e.g., Alumina, Silica, Magnesia) to ensure compliance with grade specifications (e.g., OPC 43/53).
Test Method: IS: 4032-1985
Sulphur Trioxide & Loss of Ignition (LOI)
Measures unburnt carbon (LOI) and checks for excess Sulphur Trioxide, both of which can negatively impact strength and durability.
Test Method: IS: 4032-1985
