Describes procedures for determination of the compressive strength of portland and blended cements.

This Standard describes the reference method for determining the compressive strength of portland and blended cements. The method allows the use of alternative procedures provided that the alternatives do not significantly affect the results as specified in Appendix A.NOTE: The precision of the method is discussed in Appendix B.
