AS 3583.5:1991 (R2016) PDF Download

AS 3583.5:1991 (R2016) is a standard that outlines the methods for testing supplementary cementitious materials to determine their relative density when used in conjunction with Portland cement. The relative density of these materials is a significant factor in their performance and compatibility with Portland cement. This standard provides a reference test method that ensures consistency and accuracy in determining the relative density.

The determination of relative density is crucial as it allows for the comparison of different supplementary cementitious materials and their suitability for use in concrete mixes. The results obtained using this test method can help in assessing the potential benefits and drawbacks of incorporating these materials into cement mixes.
