Procedure :-the standard consistency of a cement paste will permit the vical plunger to a point
5 to 7 mm from the bottom of the vical mould, prepare a paste of weighed quantity of cement
with a weighed quantity of potable distilled water, time of gauging between 3 to 5 minutes. The
gauging time shall be connected from the time of adding water, clean appliance shall be used
for gauging in filling the mould.
