AS 2350.14:1996 PDF Download

The AS 2350.14:1996 standard provides guidelines for determining the length change of mortar bars when they are immersed in a sodium sulfate solution. This test is used to evaluate the sulfate resistance of portland and blended cement.

The standard defines the specific composition of the mortar bars to be used and outlines the procedure to be followed during testing. The main objective of the test is to measure the length change of the mortar bars as an indicator of their ability to withstand exposure to a sulfate solution.

By subjecting the mortar bars to the sulfate solution and monitoring their length change, the standard helps assess the durability and performance of different types of cement in sulfate-rich environments, such as those commonly encountered in construction projects. This information is valuable for understanding the suitability and long-term performance of portland and blended cement materials in sulfate exposure conditions.
