Can anyone help me with the English equivalent of "costanza di volume" found in the description of the characteristics of Portland cement concrete: "per il cemento portland si doveva conoscere a priori la costanza di volume, il tempo di presa, la finezza di macinazione, la resistenza alla compressione e alla tensione." Thanks, Sarah.

it seems to me the term "constancy" may suit the case, yet not completely sure. Hope I helped :-)

Comment: "Thanks to everyone. In the end I went for the most literal translation which seems to fit better with the relatively untechnical nature of the work. "
