Blain Air Permeability Apparatus
From Cement Testing
The fineness of cement has a significant effect in its physical properties when used in concrete. Generally the finer the cement powder, the more rapid the concrete will set, as there is an increase in its surface area. The measure of fineness is usually undertaken by sieving, and the result assessed against the cement standard for compliance.
