Cement is the most used material in any construction. It acts as a binder which binds aggregate and sand together in concrete. Well, there are so many theories explained how to check the quality of Cement in the lab but most of them require huge apparatus to check the quality of cement.

It is not easy to check all properties of cement on the site but there exist some preliminary field tests which can give us a rough idea about the quality of cement.

Below mentioned tests are the simple tests which you can perform easily on site to find out the quality of cement with no apparatus. These preliminary tests include checking the properties of cement which affect the Cement strength and quality.
