1. TESTS ON CEMENT
1.1 FINENESS
AIM To determine the fineness of cement by dry sieving as per IS: 4031 (Part 1) - 1996. PRINCIPLE The fineness of cement is measured by sieving it through a standard sieve. The proportion of cement, the grain sizes of which, is larger than the specified mesh size is thus determined. APPARATUS

FIG. 1 : IS SIEVE i) ii) 90m IS Sieve Balance capable of weighing 10g to the nearest 10mg

iii) A nylon or pure bristle brush, preferably with 25 to 40mm bristle, for cleaning the sieve

PROCEDURE i) Weigh approximately 10g of cement to the nearest 0.01g and place it on the sieve.

ii) Agitate the sieve by swirling, planetary and linear movements, until no more fine material passes through it. iii) Weigh the residue and express its mass as a percentage R1, of the quantity first placed on the sieve to the nearest 0.1 percent. iv) Gently brush all the fine material off the base of the sieve. v) Repeat the whole procedure using a fresh 10g sample to obtain R2. Then calculate R as the mean of R1 and R2 as a percentage, expressed to the nearest 0.1 percent. When the results differ by more than 1 percent absolute, carry out a third sieving and calculate the mean of the three values.

REPORTING OF RESULTS Report the value of R, to the nearest 0.1 percent, as the residue on the 90m sieve.

Planning, Controlling, and Assuring Product and Process Quality

PROCESSES FOR PLANNING PRODUCT AND SERVICE DEVELOPMENT
All but the most simple products contain very large numbers of features. In theory, every feature of every unit produced could be inspected and judged against the requirements. However, this would add considerable cost to the product while, for most features, adding little or no value to the customer. The producer is faced with the need for establishing a hierarchy of importance for the various characteristics of the product. Which features are so important that they deserve a great deal of attention? Which need only a moderate amount of attention? Which need only a cursory inspection? The activity of arriving at this determination is known as classification of characteristics. In practice, characteristics are usually classified into the categories critical, major, and minor. The terms can be defined in simple terms as follows: Critical characteristicAny feature whose failure can reasonably be expected to present a safety hazard either to the user of the productor to anyone depending on the product functioning properly. Major characteristicAny feature, other than critical, whose failure would likely result in a reduction of the usability of the product. Minor characteristicAny feature, other than major or critical, whose failure would likely be noticeable to the user. Incidental characteristicAny feature other than critical, major, or minor. Of course, it is possible to develop classification schemes that are more detailed. However, the above definitions suffice for the vast majority of applications. Most often classifications of critical characteristics are noted on the drawing as well as in the manufacturing plan, as well as in such other ways as to give the user ample warning of potential hazards.
