ASTM C595

ASTM C595 is a standard specification that outlines the requirements for hydraulic cements used in construction, particularly blended cements. It details the properties, performance, and testing methods to ensure the cement is safe and effective for various applications. Blended cements may include combinations of Portland cement with materials like fly ash or slag, enhancing durability and reducing environmental impact. By adhering to ASTM C595, manufacturers and builders can ensure quality and consistency in the cement they use, contributing to the integrity and longevity of structures.
