Excerpt from Practical Cement TestingThe body of the book, Chapters IV. To XII., is devoted to the conduct of routine tests of cement. The chapter on Chemical Analysis was prepared in collaboration with Mr. Charles S. Reeve, Chemist of the Philadelphia Laboratories.Chapter XIII. Deals with simple tests by which the character of a cement may be ascertained with practically no apparatus, and which might be of considerable service to the small con sumer or to the expert when it is impracticable to obtain ap paratus to make tests in the orthodox manner.The practical operation of a cement laboratory is considered in Chapter XIV., which also describes the organization, the labor required, and the cost of testing.To avoid an endless number of qualified statements, in de scribing the different properties and tests, the body of the book is devoted entirely to Portland cement, while in Chapter XV. Is given a description of the properties and tests of natural, improved, slag, sand, and other varieties of cement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
