MDPL rents Mobile Technical Vans for Cement Testing. It customises the vehicles as per tests requirements of the clients and undertakes management and operations of the vehicles.
We undertake various types of services for concrete at different stages of construction, right from material testing, during construction and post construction. These services are customised for both corporate as well as retail clients.
Indigo Owns a fleet of passenger carrying vehicles and provides them on term rental. It has been operating pan India and has sufficient strength to operate and manage these services in any part of the country.
1) Fineness Test:
a. Standard Reading: Typically, the specific surface area should be between 3000 to 4000 cm²/g.
b. Adverse Test Report: A higher value indicates finer particles, which can lead to increased water demand and reduced strength.
2) Consistency Test (Standard Vicat Test):
a. Standard Reading: The consistency should be such that the Vicat plunger penetrates to a depth of 10 ± 1 mm from the bottom of the Vicat mould.
b. Adverse Test Report: A higher penetration indicates higher water content, which can lead to lower strength and durability.
3) Setting Time Test:
a. Standard Reading: Initial setting time should not be less than 30 minutes, and final setting time should not exceed 600 minutes.
b. Adverse Test Report: Longer setting times can delay construction progress, while shorter setting times may affect workability.
4) Soundness Test:
a. Standard Reading: The expansion of the cement paste should not exceed 10 mm.
b. Adverse Test Report: Excessive expansion indicates unsoundness, which can lead to cracking and failure in concrete.
5) Compressive Strength Test:
a. Standard Reading: The compressive strength of cement at 28 days should be at least 33 MPa.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower strength indicates poor quality cement, which can compromise the strength of the concrete.
6) Water Testing:
a. Standard Reading: Water used for mixing should be clean and free from impurities, with a pH level between 6 and 8.
b. Adverse Test Report: High levels of impurities or improper pH can affect the hydration process and weaken the concrete.
1) Fresh Concrete Testing:
a. Slump Test:
b. Standard Reading: 25 to 150 mm (1 to 6 inches) depending on the concrete's intended use.
c. Adverse Test Report: A lower slump may indicate a mix that is too dry, affecting workability, while a higher slump may indicate a mix that is too wet, affecting strength.
2) Compaction Factor Test:
a. Standard Reading: 0.75 to 0.85 for normal concrete mixes.
b. Adverse Test Report: A lower compaction factor indicates poor workability, while a higher factor may indicate excessive water content.
3) Flow Table Test:
a. Standard Reading: The concrete should spread evenly without segregation.
b. Adverse Test Report: Segregation or uneven spreading indicates poor workability.
4) Vee-Bee Consistometer Test:
a. Standard Reading: Time taken for the slump cone to vibrate a certain distance.
b. Adverse Test Report: Longer times indicate stiffer concrete mixes.
c. Air Content Test:
d. Standard Reading: Generally, 4% to 8% air content by volume for most concrete mixes.
e. Adverse Test Report: Lower air content may lead to reduced durability and increased susceptibility to freeze-thaw damage.
5) Temperature Test:
a. Standard Reading: Concrete temperature should be between 10°C to 32°C (50°F to 90°F) during mixing and placing.
b. Adverse Test Report: High temperatures can accelerate setting and reduce strength, while low temperatures can delay setting and affect workability.
1) Hardened Concrete Testing:
2) Compressive Strength Test:
a. Standard Reading: Varies based on the concrete's intended use and specifications.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower strength than specified can compromise the structural integrity of the concrete.
3) Flexural Strength Test:
a. Standard Reading: Typically expressed in MPa (megapascals).
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower flexural strength can indicate poor load-bearing capacity.
4) Split Tensile Strength Test:
a. Standard Reading: Generally, around 10% to 15% of the compressive strength.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower tensile strength can indicate susceptibility to cracking.
5) Rebound Hammer Test:
a. Standard Reading: Typically, the rebound number is compared to a calibration curve for an estimate of compressive strength.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower rebound numbers indicate lower compressive strength.
6) Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test:
a. Standard Reading: Velocity values vary based on concrete mix and age.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower velocities can indicate poor quality or compromised integrity.
7) Core Cutting Test:
a. Standard Reading: Compressive strength of the core sample.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower strength than specified indicates poor quality or improper curing.
8) Permeability Test:
a. Standard Reading: Concrete should have low permeability to water.
b. Adverse Test Report: Higher permeability can indicate a risk of water ingress and corrosion of reinforcement.
9) Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT):
a. Standard Reading: Electrical resistance measured in coulombs.
b. Adverse Test Report: Lower resistance indicates higher chloride ion permeability.
10) Carbonation Test:
a. Standard Reading: Depth of carbonation should be within specified limits.
b. Adverse Test Report: Excessive carbonation can compromise the concrete's durability.
11) Shrinkage and Creep Test:
a. Standard Reading: Amount of shrinkage or creep over time.
b. Adverse Test Report: Excessive shrinkage or creep can lead to cracking and deformation over time.
