What Is the Fineness Test of Cement? A Simple Guide for Beginners

The fineness test’s objective is to ascertain the cement’s particle size distribution. During the hydration process, cement with smaller particles gains strength. Testing is done on Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to make sure the residue doesn’t exceed 10%. For the fineness test of cement, a 90-micron IS sieve is frequently utilised. 100 grams of cement are shaken for 15 minutes for the field test of cement. The weight is then measured.
