Compare published strength in MPa and PSI.
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 | 29.5 MPa | ≈4,280 psi | Minimum 20.0 | EN 196-1 |
| 7 days | 40.7 MPa | ≈5,900 psi | — | EN 196-1 |
| 28 days | 47.4 MPa | ≈6,870 psi | 42.5–62.5 | EN 196-1 |
