Mixed Material Testing

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are artificial or natural mineral materials added during cement production, primarily used to improve cement performance, regulate strength classes, and reduce production costs. They mainly include fly ash, slag (ground granulated blast-furnace slag), pozzolanic materials, and limestone. GB 175-2023 mandates requirements for cement composition; therefore, the accurate determination of SCMs effectively ensures compliance with cement component specifications.
