State whether the following is true or false.
Prolonged exposure of stored clinker to damp air is harmless.

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

Answer: B

Correct answer: False

Clinker is anhydrous and prehydrates on exposure to moisture, the free lime slaking and the aluminate and silicates reacting at their surfaces. The result is a cement of lower strength and altered setting, so clinker is stored under cover and stock is rotated rather than left indefinitely.
