Designation:C595/C595M17Standard Specification forBlended Hydraulic Cements1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C595/C595M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification pertains to blended hydraulic cementsfor both general and special applications,using slag,pozzolan,limestone,or some combination of these,with portland cementor portland cement clinker or slag with lime.NOTE1This specification prescribes ingredients and proportions,withsome performance requirements,whereas Performance SpecificationC1157 is a hydraulic cement specification in which performance criteriaalone govern the products and their acceptance.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.Values in SI units or inch-pound units shallbe obtained by measurement in SI units or inch-pound unitsor by appropriate conversion,using the Rules for Conversionand Rounding given in IEEE/ASTM SI 10,of measurementsmade in other units or SI units.Values are stated in only SIunits when inch-pound units are not used in practice.1.3 The text of this standard refers to notes and footnotes,which provide explanatory material.These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)are not requirements ofthe standard.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C51 Terminology Relating to Lime and Limestone(as usedby the Industry)C109/C109M Test Method for Compressive Strength ofHydraulic Cement Mortars(Using 2-in.or 50-mm CubeSpecimens)C114 Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of HydraulicCementC150 Specification for Portland CementC151 Test Method for Autoclave Expansion of HydraulicCementC157/C157M Test Method for Length Change of HardenedHydraulic-Cement Mortar and ConcreteC183 Practice for Sampling and the Amount of Testing ofHydraulic CementC185 Test Method for Air Content of Hydraulic CementMortarC186 Test Method for Heat of Hydration of HydraulicCementC187 Test Method for Amount of Water Required for Nor-mal Consistency of Hydraulic Cement PasteC188 Test Method for Density of Hydraulic CementC191 Test Methods for Time of Setting of Hydraulic Cementby Vicat NeedleC204 Test Methods for Fineness of Hydraulic Cement byAir-Permeability ApparatusC219 Terminology Relating to Hydraulic CementC226 Specification for Air-Entraining Additions for Use inthe Manufacture of Air-Entraining Hydraulic CementC227 Test Method for Potential Alkali Reactivity ofCement-Aggregate Combinations(Mortar-Bar Method)C311 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Fly Ash orNatural Pozzolans for Use in Portland-Cement ConcreteC430 Test Method for Fineness of Hydraulic Cement by the45-m(No.325)SieveC465 Specification for Processing Additions for Use in the1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C01 onCement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C01.10 on HydraulicCements for General Concrete Construction.Current edition approved April 1,2017.Published April 2017.Originallyapproved in 1967.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as C595/C595M 16.DOI:10.1520/C0595_C0595M-17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 Manufacture of Hydraulic CementsC563 Guide forApproximation of Optimum SO3in Hydrau-lic CementC688 Specification for Functional Additions for Use inHydraulic CementsC821 Specification for Lime for Use with PozzolansC1012 Test Method for Length Change of Hydraulic-Cement Mortars Exposed to a Sulfate SolutionC1038 Test Method for Expans
