AS 2350.7:2006 (R2016) PDF Download

AS 2350.7:2006 (R2016) is a standard that provides a detailed procedure for determining the temperature rise during the hydration process of portland and blended cements. Hydration refers to the chemical reaction that occurs when water is added to the cement, leading to the formation of bonds and the hardening of the material.

The standard emphasizes the importance of conducting the testing under specific and controlled conditions to ensure accurate and reliable results. It also highlights the potential hazards associated with using certain materials or equipment, stressing the need to implement appropriate safety measures during the testing process.

Furthermore, the standard references AFNOR NF 15-436, which provides a method for calculating the heat of hydration of portland and blended cements. This calculation is useful for evaluating the amount of heat released during the hydration process, which can have implications for the performance and durability of the cement.
