    Cement Comparisons

    The document compares standards for Portland cement from Libya, Europe (BS EN), and the United States (ASTM). All three standards specify requirements for chemical composition, physical properties like setting time and strength, and classification based on compressive strength. The Libyan, European, and US standards have similar specifications for maximum levels of components like calcium oxide and allowable ranges for properties like autoclave expansion and heat of hydration. The standards differ somewhat in their specific chemical component limits and classification of cement types and strength levels.
