    Question

    If 'p' is the standard consistency of cement, the amount of water used in conducting the initial setting time test on cement is

    A.

    0.65 p

    B.

    0.78 p

    C.

    0.6 p

    D.

    0.85 p

    Correct option is D



    Standard consistency is the consistency of the cement paste that permits the Vicat’s plunger of diameter 10 mm and height 50 mm to penetrate into the mould up to a depth of 33 to 35 mm from the top.
    In the normal consistency test, we have to find out the amount of water to be added to the cement to form a cement paste of normal consistency.
