Page 6: QUALITY CONTROL  OF  CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Tests on cement(Chemical Tests)

• Ratio of percentage of lime to percentages of silica, alumina and iron oxide

• Ratio of percentage of alumina to percentage of iron oxide

• Insoluble residue, percent by mass• Magnesia, percent by mass• Total sulphur content, percent by mass• Total loss on ignition• Total chloride content –

Page 7: QUALITY CONTROL  OF  CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Tests on fine aggregate
