Vicat Apparatus Test for Cement

SISCO-VA-ISO

The Vicat Apparatus Test for Cement is a standard experimental method used to determine the setting time of cement. It evaluates the initial and final setting time of cement slurry based on the process of gradually changing from a fluid state to a solid state under specified conditions. This test is commonly used for quality control and performance evaluation of new cement materials.

What is the Vicat apparatus?

Vicat apparatus is a testing instrument used to determine the consistency and setting times (initial and final) of cement, gypsum, and other hydraulic binders. It consists of a frame equipped with a vertically movable rod fitted with different types of plungers or needles, depending on the test being performed.

What is the composition of the Vicat apparatus?

Stand or Frame: A structural component that supports the entire device.
Plunger/Rod: Install different types of probes (needles or cones) that can move freely vertically.
Scale/Rotation: Used to read the depth of needle sinking.
Vicat Mold: Generally circular or conical in shape, used to hold mortar or grout for testing purposes.
Needle or Cone: Choose the needle according to the testing item: The general consistency test uses a standard needle (diameter 1.13 ± 0.05mm, length 50mm). The initial and final setting time tests use needles or rings with special geometric dimensions.

What are the functions of the Vicat apparatus?

Standard Consistency Test: Determine the amount of water required for the slurry to achieve normal working consistency.
Initial Setting Time: The time required from the start of mixing with water until the needle cannot sink to the bottom of the sample by about 5mm.
Final Setting Time: The time required for the needle to leave a clear imprint on the surface of the sample.

What is the Vicat apparatus used for?

The laboratory is used to control cement quality and construction availability.
Used in engineering projects to evaluate whether the initial and final setting of cement meet construction requirements.
Education and research institutions conduct research on cement performance.
