State whether the following is true or false.
Grinding cement finer improves every property of the finished product.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: A

Correct answer: False

Fineness is a trade rather than an improvement. Finer cement gives higher early strength but also higher water demand, greater heat of hydration, a shorter shelf life through prehydration, more shrinkage, and a sharply higher grinding cost. The optimum is a balance, and it differs for each cement type.
