Cement Testing

Cement is a binder, in contemporary construction that sets, hardens and adheres to other materials, binding together sand and gravel (aggregate) together. Cement is used with fine aggregate to produce mortar for masonry,  and  with sand and gravel aggregates to produce concrete.

Cements used in construction are usually inorganic, often lime or calcium silicate based, and can be characterized as being either hydraulic or non-hydraulic, depending upon the ability of the cement to set in the presence of water (see hydraulic and non-hydraulic lime plaster).
