Measurement Units – Unit Conversion | Every Engineer Should Learn

by

In the field of engineering, various units are used like meter, kilogram, second. Example: If we have to measure the distance of the road. We can measure it in meters and further can convert it into different units like a millimeter, centimeter, foot, inch, yard, etc. Before starting the discussion about measurement units and unit conversion of these measurement units, we will learn about dimensions. One Dimension: The dimension which has only single … Read more

Types of Cement

by

Cement is a very important construction material. As the construction industry grew, lots of innovation has come in the cement industry. Basically, cement is divided into two categories. Hydraulic cement. Non-hydraulic cement. Hydraulic cement: Hydraulic cement hardens in the presence of water. In this type of cement, a Hydration reaction between cement and water takes … Read more

How to check quality of cement on site

It is very important to check the quality of cement on site. If proper inspection is not done then there are the chances that cement lost its strength. You can not check all the technical qualities on the construction site. But there are some field tests are available to check the quality of cement on … Read more

Soundness Test of Cement by Le Chatelier’s Mould Test

by

Introduction: A soundness test of cement is performed to ensure that cement does not show any expansion. Normally cement expands due to the unsoundness of cement. Expansion of cement can cause severe problems. It reduces the overall strength of hardened material and the durability of structures. An excessive quantity of lime causes unsoundness. Apparatus: The … Read more

Waves – Properties and Types

by

What are the Waves? Waves can be defined as the things which creates a disturbance in the various medium when it travels while carrying energy even though the net movement of particles remains zero. So, we can say that it transfers the energy which includes a periodic motion of waves without a net movement of … Read more

What is Gear and Types of Gear

by

In this article, we will talk about What is Gear and Types of Gear. What is Gear? The gears are in a circular shape which rotates accordingly to transmit the torque. In gears, the teeth are carved on them, so they can mesh with other gears that have the same teeth cut in them, to … Read more

Corpuscular Theory And Rectilinear Motion Of Light

by

There are two theories accepted which define the characteristics of light. The first is electromagnetic waves theory and the second one is corpuscular theory. In this blog post, we will learn about the corpuscular theory and the rectilinear motion Of light. Introduction: Because of light, the objects are visible in this world. If there is … Read more

Specific Gravity Test of Cement

by

Specific Gravity Of Cement: The weight of the volume of cement to the weight of the volume of water is known as the specific gravity of cement. Normally, it varies from 3.1 to 3.16 g/cc. Specific Gravity of Cement = (weight of the volume of cement/weight of the volume of water) Specific Gravity Test of … Read more

Fineness Test of Cement

by

A fineness test of cement is performed to determine the particle size of cement. The particle size of cement is calculated by sieving cement on the standard sieve. Basically, there are two tets to determine the fineness of the cement. Sieving Method. Air Permeability Method In this blog post, we will discuss the sieving method. … Read more
