AASHTO T353
Full Name
AASHTO T353 – Standard Method of Test for Particle Size Analysis of Hydraulic Cement and Related Materials by Light Scattering
Scope
This test method covers the determination of the particle size distribution (PSD) of hydraulic cement and related compounds by means of the laser diffraction technique, reported as volume percent of particulate materials.
This test method applies to analyses with both nonaqueous and gaseous dispersions.
This test method is applicable to the measurement of particulate materials in the size range of 0.4 to 2000 μm.
