Procedure
i. Weigh out about 64 g of cement to the nearest 0.05 g.
ii. Fill the Le-Chatelier flask with either of the the specified
liquids (kerosene,free of water, or naptha having a density
iii. Mark down the initial level of fluid in the flask to the
nearest 0.5 mL. The flask is required to be immersed in a
constant temperature water bath for a sufficient interval before
3
making the initial and final readings.

iv. Slowly pour in the cement making sure to minimize the
amount lost as dust. Use the metal rod to push any cement that
might cling to the sides of the flask down.
v. Close the flask with a stopper and tilt the flask. Slowly rotate
the flask until all air bubbles are eliminated.
vii. Difference between the first & the final readings represent
the volume of liquid displaced by the mass of cement used in
the test.
4
viii. calculate density of cement as mass of cement divided by
displaced volume.
