Standard EN Sample
Portland Cement, Masonry Cement, Blended Hydraulic Cement
Also Known As:
The CAN/CSA-A5-93 standard is a set of guidelines that specifies the requirements and procedures for the production, inspection, and testing of different types of cement.
The standard defines Portland cement and outlines its chemical composition, physical properties, and uniformity requirements. It also establishes the necessary tests that should be carried out to ensure the quality of the cement. These tests include chemical analysis and physical testing, which may involve measuring factors such as compressive strength, fineness, and setting time.
Additionally, the standard outlines the procedures for inspection and sampling of cement, as well as the units of measurement, packaging, marking, and storage requirements. It also specifies the equipment and materials necessary for conducting the required tests. Compliance with this standard ensures that cement products meet the necessary quality standards for construction and masonry applications.
