1.	What is standard consistency?(a) Consistency which permits the Vicat’s plunger(b) Ability of cement to maintain a constant volume(c) Durability in sea water(d) Free lime contentThe question was asked during a job interview.I would like to ask this question from Standard Consistency Test in section Types of Cement and Testing of Cement of Concrete Technology
Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) Consistency which permits the VICAT’s plunger Best explanation: Standard consistency of cement PASTE may be DEFINED as the consistency which permits the Vicat’s plunger (10 mm, 40 to 50 mm in length) to penetrate to a point 5 mm to 7 mm from the bottom ( or 35 mm to 33 mm from top) of Vicat mould.
