ASTM C595/C595M
Blended hydraulic cements
Blended hydraulic cements combine Portland cement or clinker with constituents such as slag, pozzolan or limestone. The specification addresses composition and performance requirements for general and special applications.
ASTM International · 125th Anniversary Case Study Compilation
Standard scopeDiscuss with our engineers
Discuss cement selection, supplier documentation and the project-specific performance tests required before using a binder in a lightweight concrete mix.

Loadbearing concrete masonry units
This specification covers machine-made, dry-cast concrete masonry in lightweight, medium-weight and normal-weight classes. Its requirements are specific to the materials and manufacturing process within its scope.
ASTM International · 125th Anniversary Case Study Compilation
Standard scopeDiscuss with our engineers
Confirm the applicable standard for your manufacturing process. CLC products should not be assumed to meet dry-cast masonry requirements simply because they have a similar appearance.
