A committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers has, with this aim in view, prepared and published a set of Standard Methods of Testing Cement, and these methods are to-day employed throughout the United States. This little volume, as its name implies, is a laboratory manual on cement testing, and is intended to assist in bringing about uniformity in the testing of cement. The authors have endeavored to present, in a somewhat condensed form, such directions as will enable a student in the laboratory or an operator in the field office to correctly interpret the Standard Methods of Testing and Specifications for Cement as published by the committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society for Testing Materials, Association of American Portland Cement Manufacturers, and the American Railway Engineers and Maintenance of Way Association; they have endeavored to give sufficient detail to enable all students to learn the same manipulations and thus be able to perform each test in a certain well defined and similar manner.
