For testing compressive strength of cement, the size of cube used is
A. 50 mm
B. 70.6 mm
C. 100 mm
D. 150 mm
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
According to IS: 10080 - 1982, the recommended size for testing the compressive strength of cement cubes is indeed 70.6 mm. Thank you for providing the accurate information. The size of 150 mm is typically used for testing the compressive strength of concrete cubes, not cement cubes.This Question Belongs to Civil Engineering >> Building Materials

i think that size of frame is 70.6mm
The most common strength test, compressive strength, is carried out on a 50 mm (2-inch) cement mortar test specimen. The test specimen is subjected to a compressive load (usually from a hydraulic machine) until failure. This loading sequence must take no less than 20 seconds and no more than 80 seconds.
Acc. To is456:2000 70.6 would be the right answer
50cm2 is the cube's surface area..i think the question given is the size of the cube...if the size of the mould was given then i think the ans would be 70.6 mm
As per S.S Gupta Option A) 50mm is the right answer.
