AS 3583.2:1991 (R2016) PDF Download

AS 3583.2:1991 (R2016) is a standard that provides guidance on the methods of testing for supplementary cementitious materials used in conjunction with Portland cement. The specific focus of this standard is the determination of moisture content in these materials. The moisture content of supplementary cementitious materials can greatly influence their performance and compatibility with other cementitious materials.

The standard outlines a reference method that serves as a benchmark for measuring the moisture content of these materials. It provides detailed instructions on the sample preparation and the equipment required for accurate measurement. The moisture content is determined by measuring the weight loss of the sample after drying it under controlled conditions.

By establishing a common reference method, this standard ensures consistent and accurate measurement of moisture content in supplementary cementitious materials. This information is crucial in determining the quality and suitability of these materials for use in various applications. Compliance with this standard allows for reliable comparison and evaluation of different supplementary cementitious materials, enhancing the overall quality and performance of cement-based products.
