Question

Soundness of cement is tested by-

A.

Izod apparatus

B.

Vicat apparatus

C.

Le-chatelier apparatus

D.

Hopper apparatus

Correct option is C



The soundness of cement is tested by the Le-chatelier apparatus. Soundness refers to the ability of cement to retain its volume after setting. If the cement expands excessively after setting, it may cause cracking in concrete. The Le-chatelier apparatus helps test this by measuring the expansion of a cement sample in the presence of water.
