Test Procedure:-
(i) Same mould is used, that was used in initial setting time test.
(ii) After 30 minutes frequency we will make free fall condition.
(iii) After sometimes mould will be hard and no any impression will make on it and its plasticity will be zero.
(iv) (Now, example) Mould placing time=8:25 A.M.
Present time=11:30 A.M.
Final Setting time=185 minutes
Note:-Always remember final setting time of cement will not more than 600 minutes (i.e. 10 hours) and initial setting time of cement will be minimum 30 minimum.
