Compare the available test ages in the units your team uses. MPa is the reported value; PSI is a rounded conversion.
| Test age | Source result | Approx. PSI | Reference / limit | Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 days | 20–24 MPa | ≈2,900–3,480 psi | — | EN 196-1 |
| 7 days | 33–37 MPa | ≈4,790–5,370 psi | — | EN 196-1 |
| 28 days | 44–48 MPa | ≈6,380–6,960 psi | — | EN 196-1 |
