V. CALCULATION 1. Calculate the vicat time of setting to the nearest 1 min. as follows: (H-E x (C- 25)+ E Where: E = time in minutes of last penetration greater than 25 mm, time in minutes of first penetration less than 25 mm, penetration reading at time E, H D = penetration reading at time H, 2. Calculate the vicat final time of setting by determining the elapsed time between the time of the initial contact between cement and water and the time when the needle does not sink visibly into the paste, rounded to the nearest 5 min.
