Lab Work with Cement Samples

Most cement practicals in a college or polytechnic lab begin with a sample from bags in the store. Students push the tube into a bag at a slant, turn it slightly and draw it out, then empty the core into an airtight container. Cores from several bags of one consignment are mixed into a single sample for the class.

The class sample then goes to the usual tests. Students find consistency and setting time on the Vicat Apparatus, check fineness on the Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus and test soundness in the Le Chatelier Mould. Teachers can show why storage matters by testing a fresh bag beside one left open in damp air.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I take a sample with the cement sampler?
Push the pointed end through the bag at a slant, turning the tube a little as it goes in so it cuts cleanly. Draw it out steadily and tip the cement held in the tube into a clean, dry container, then close the container straight away.

How much cement does one draw collect?
One draw fills the tube with about 300 cm³ of cement. For a full set of tests, take draws from several bags of the same lot and mix them into one composite sample before any test starts.

What is the air hole near the handle for?
As cement enters the tube, the air inside has to escape. The 3 mm hole lets it out, so the tube fills along its length. Covering the hole with a thumb while pulling the tube out helps hold the core in place.

How should the sample be kept before testing?
Store it in an airtight, moisture-proof container labelled with the bag or lot details. Cement takes up moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, and a sample left open can give changed setting times and lower strength.
