What is meant by grade of cement? How is it determined and what is the procedure to determine the grade? I'd really appreciate your answers.

    Grade of cement is its compressive strength expressed in N/mm2

    does it mean that greater the grade, the greater the compressive strength.

    Yes. There are two grades of cement available in the market viz; 43 and 53 grade. The comp strength of 43G is 43N/mm2 and 53G is 53N/mm2.
