The compressive strength of gypsum specimens with an average density of 600 kg/m 3 in dry state is between 1.5 and 2.5 MPa, when building gypsum strength is 5 MPa, when initial building gypsum strength is 10 MPa, gypsum specimens strength increases up to 3.0–4.0 MPa (Ferronskaya, 2004).

Most gypsum products are obtained from natural gypsum rock. Because gypsum is the dihydrate form of calcium sulfate (CaSO4. 2H2O), on heating, it loses 1.5 g mol of its 2 g mol of H2O and is converted to calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4. 0.5H2O). When calcium sulfate hemihydrate is mixed with water, the reverse reaction takes place, and the ...

How is Gypsum Formed. As well as in hot baths, gypsum is deposited by lake and sea water, by volcanic vapours, and sulphate solutions in veins. In near-surface exposures, hydrothermal anhydrite in veins is commonly hydrated by groundwater into gypsum. The elements halite and sulphur are also associated with it.
