Fast-track methods of cement testing

As the results of compressive strength tests of cement show, when rapid testing is used, the instruments must be calibrated against the data obtained during tests according to GOST 30744-2001. However, even in this case the readings do not allow predicting the strength of cement at 28 days with high accuracy, since this depends on many factors. The least error is achieved when the strength of cement is predicted using a neural network.
