mechanical stre ngth of cement by applying Compressive and Tensile tests on Cement-Sand mortar. Standards: ¾ Compressive strength of cement using mortar cubes: B.S.12 – Part 2 ASTM : C 109 ¾ Tensile strength of mortar using briquettes: B.S.12 – Part 2 ASTM : C 109 General Discussion: In these tests (Compressive and Tensile tests) we measured the mechanical strength of the hardened cement. These tests are done on cement – sand mortar and not on the hardened cement itself‚ the r eason

manufacture ribs‚ stiffeners and other elements from the PPS composites. The individual components are welded together to form a strong‚ inseparable unit. This process eliminates the need for costly drilling & riveting operations & achieves higher strength and safety – reducing weight & saves time and money. Components made from PPS composites remain hard‚ impact-resistant‚ stiff & stable‚ even when exposed to high temperatures. PPS is also resistant to aviation fuel‚ engine and hydraulic
