To determine if the cement satisfies ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency, one must refer to the specific ASTM standard applicable to the type of cement in question, such as ASTM C150 for Portland cement. Normal consistency is typically assessed by conducting a Vicat needle test, which measures the water content required for the cement paste to achieve a specific penetration depth. If the results fall within the acceptable range specified in the standard, then the cement meets the normal consistency requirements. Always consult the latest version of the relevant ASTM standard for precise criteria.
1. Measure the work-ability of cement. 2. Determining the quality test of cement.
it has more cement than the normal mix
A typical mixture is three of sand to one of cement. Make a small batch first and check the consistency of it. The wetness of the sand has a lot to do with the consistency. For block and brick work, a bit should squeeze out the side but still support the block or brick with about 3/8 inch above the previous row. Then this side excess is scraped off and pointed with a pointing tool.
Cement paste is formed when cement is mixed with water. However, cement mortar is formed when cement is mixed with fine aggregate (sand) and water.The strength of cement mortar is more when compared to cement paste.Shrinkage will be less in cement mortar and high in cement paste.
To satisfy the ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency of cement: The Amount of Water that brings the cement paste to standard condition should vary between 22% to 30% by weight of dry cement.
Cement fineness: Finer cement particles generally require more water for standard consistency. Cement composition: Different types of cement with varying compositions can exhibit different normal consistencies. Curing temperature Time of testing Humidity Testing procedure Chemical admixtures
following factors which affects the consistency of cement:- 1. fineness of cement 2. temperature. 3. method of mixing water . 4. %of admixtures in cement (flyash in case of PPC) 5. w/c ratio

does this cement satisfy ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency
1. Measure the work-ability of cement. 2. Determining the quality test of cement.
the degree of wetness exhibited by a freely mixed concrete whose value is considered at hand
consistency of cement 31- 33 %
by standard consistency test we determine standard consistency of cement which is denoted by p. as we know standard consistency value for a cement its value is used for making the paste for determining setting time, soundness, compressive strength of cement
It is normal for Ordinary Portland cement to have a consistency ranging from 25-35%. To prepare cement paste of standard consistency, 25-35% of water must be added to cement. For a more detailed explanation, let us assume that a standard consistency is 30%. To make this quantity, add 30% water to 400g of cement.

Yes because white cement quic over the normal cement and he give better finishins as corare to murm cement.
