The strength of cement decreases with time. That is why you should check the date of packing. 2. Cement Color Test. The color of the cement is light or grey, greenish shade, and it should be uniform within a bag. The cement color shows a sign of excess of clay or lime and a burning degree. 3. Lump Presence Test.

The standard procedure for determining fineness of cement by sieving is as follows: First you need to stir and shake the cement sample in a stoppered jar for minimum 2 minutes to disperse lumps and agglomerates. After a gap of 2 minutes, stir the powder gently with dry rod to uniformly distribute the fines throughout the sample.
