Functional properties of Portland cement of the type one:
This cement is used as
ordinary general purpose Portland cement in the manufacture of concrete or
mortar. This type of cement is divided into three classes: 325-1, 425-1 and
525-1. The Mazandaran Cement company has the ability to produce all three
types: 325-1, 425-1 and 525-1. The numbers 325, 425 and 525 indicate the
compressive strength of cement after 28 days in kg/cm2. The compressive
strength of cement is measured at intervals of 2, 3, 7 and 28 days in the
factory laboratory. In most cements, the compressive strength characteristic is
one of the most important factors. The compressive strength of cement certainly
plays an important role in the strength and durability of a building.
Therefore, using cement with higher compressive strength results in a stronger
building. In addition, using cement with higher compressive strength under
equal conditions will significantly save cement consumption. The most important
usage of this type are:
Civil works, reinforced concrete (foundation, columns, etc.), road
construction, pavement concrete, airport runway concrete, prefabricated houses,
ready-mixed concrete, bridge construction, dam construction, concrete pipes,
concrete tunnel molds, iron rail holders.
