Cement and Aggregates Buying Guide for UP Builders and Contractors BTechMart Private Limited - Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh,India
Cement: Grade, Freshness, Storage For structural work, OPC 53 grade and PPC are the common choices; the right one depends on the member being cast and the curing regime the site can actually maintain. Check the manufacturing week printed on every bag - cement loses strength in storage, and monsoon humidity shortens its useful life further. Store bags on a raised platform, away from walls, and use older stock first.
Aggregates: Gradation Decides Strength Coarse aggregate should be well graded and free of clay coating; a quick field check is to rub a handful heavy dust on the palm means washing or rejection. Fine aggregate with excess silt increases water demand and quietly reduces concrete strength, which is why a silt test at delivery is worth the five minutes it takes.
