Initial Setting Time. When the cement starts to lose its plasticity (semi-liquid state) after mixing with water is known as initial setting time. The time gap between the water addition and the starting of plasticity loss is known as the initial setting time. Generally, the initial setting time of cement

Definition of setting time. Q. What is meant by setting of cement paste or concrete? A. The paste formed when cement is mixed with water remains plastic for a not very long time. It stiffens and sets. The setting process is arbitrarily divided into stages, time of initial setting and time of final setting

Initial Setting Time of Cement. Initial setting time of cement is the time when the paste (cement + water) starts losing its plasticity. This mean that if the initial setting time of cement is 30 minutes, the cement mortar or concrete must be placed in position within 30 minutes of adding water. If delayed, mortar or concrete will lose strength

The initial setting time of concrete is the time when cement paste begins hardening while the final setting time is the time when cement paste has hardened sufficiently in such a way that a 1 mm needle makes an impression on the paste in the mold but a 5 mm needle does not make any impression

Use of Admixture and Its Effects on Setting Time. Initial set, as defined by ACI 116R, is a degree of stiffening of a mixture of cement less than final set, generally stated as an empirical value indicating the time in hours and minutes required for the cement paste to stiffen sufficiently to resist to an established degree, the penetration of a weighted test needle

Penetration resistance. Initial Time of Set. 500 psi. Final Time of Set. 4000 psi. Typically to a concrete contractor, initial time of set refers to the time at which a concrete surface can bear the weight of an individual with minimal indentation. When water comes into contact with hydraulic cement, a chemical reaction called hydration occurs

Setting Time of Cement. Some types of cement set quickly, within a few minutes whereas others may take comparatively longer time.. However, the initial setting time of cement is 30 minutes for ordinary portland cement. And the final setting time of cement is 600 minutes or 10 hours on average for ordinary portland cement

Initial and Final Setting Time of Cement . The initial setting time is the exact moment when the concrete starts to harden. In theory, this time starts as soon as the water is added to the cement. The final setting time is the moment the concrete has hardened enough so that a five-millimetre square needle no longer penetrates the surface

The time elapsed between the initial contact of cement and water and the time when a 1mm 2 cross-section needle gives a reading between 4-7mm from the bottom in a standard Vicat apparatus is known as initial setting time of that particular cement paste

Initial Setting Time. Initial Setting Time is defined as the period elapsing between the time when water is added to the cement and the time at which the needle of 1 mm square section fails to pierce the test block to a depth of about 5 mm from the bottom of the mould. A period of 30 minutes is the minimum initial setting time, specified by ISI

Jun 02, 2012 After initial setting time the cement mould can be detached and after final setting time the Vicatts apparatus plunger gives no impression. . The initial setting time can be defined as time taken by paste to stiffen to such an extent that the Vicatts needle is not permitted to move down through the paste through 25 mm

The initial setting time may be defined as the time taken by the paste to stiffen to such an extent that the Vicat's needle is not permitted to move down through the paste to within 5 0.5 mm measured from the bottom of the mould. The final setting time is the time after which the paste becomes so hard that the angular attachment to the

Dec 13, 2016 Setting Time of Concrete. As ASTM C125-15b, setting is defined as the process, due to chemical reactions, occurring after the addition of mixing water, that results in a gradual development of rigidity of a cementitious mixture. As ACI CT-13, initial setting time is defined as the time required for a freshly mixed cement paste

Initial and final setting times of cement, which are determined using the Vicat needle test, are used as a quality control measure for cement characterisation (EN-196, 1995) and specified as a requirement in related standards (EN-197, 2011; ASTM C150, 2015).A comparison between the initial and the final setting time of cements manufactured with and without CS (Alp et al., 2008; Supekar, 2007

1. objective. For convenience, initial setting time is regarded as the time elapsed between the moments that the water is added to the cement, to the time that the paste starts losing its plasticity. The final setting time is the time elapsed between the moment the water is added to the cement, and the time when the paste has completely lost

May 04, 2013 Initial setting time is the time when the paste starts losing its plasticity. Initial setting time test is important for transportation, placing and compaction of cement concrete. Initial setting time duration is required to delay the process of hydration or hardening. Final setting time is the time when the paste completely loses its plasticity
