Incoming material testing details

Question

Accepted Answer

Incoming material testing details involve evaluating the quality and characteristics of materials before they are used in the lab.

Testing involves various methods such as visual inspection, physical testing, and chemical analysis.
Examples of tests include measuring pH levels, checking for impurities, and determining the melting point.
Testing ensures that materials meet required specifications and standards.
Results are recorded and analyzed to make informed decisions about material usage.
Testing may involve collaboration with suppliers and adherence to safety protocols.

Accepted Answer

Incoming materials for construction like Cement, sand, aggregate, soil, fly ash.

For cement, we do fineness test, consistency, Initial setting time, final setting time, strength test, and soundness.

For sand, we do sieve analysis, silt content, moisture content, and fineness modulus.

For aggregate, we do sieve analysis, water absorption, specific gravity, FIEI, AIV, abrasion test

For soil, we do FSI, GSA, MDD/OMC, CBR, Shear test, and Atterbergs limit.

For flyash, we do fineness test.
