Designation:C10/C10M14Standard Specification forNatural Cement1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C10/C10M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers natural cement and quick-setting natural cement.NOTE1Examples of typical past uses of natural cement include unitmasonry mortar,cement plaster,grout,whitewash,and concrete.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 references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material.These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C109/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 HydraulicCementC183 Practice for Sampling and the Amount of Testing ofHydraulic CementC185 Test Method for Air Content of Hydraulic CementMortarC187 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 CementC305 Practice for Mechanical Mixing of Hydraulic CementPastes and Mortars of Plastic ConsistencyC465 Specification for Processing Additions for Use in theManufacture of Hydraulic CementsC688 Specification for Functional Additions for Use inHydraulic CementsC778 Specification for SandC786 Test Method for Fineness of Hydraulic Cement andRaw Materials by the 300-m(No.50),150-m(No.100),and 75-m(No.200)Sieves by Wet MethodsIEEE/ASTM SI 10 Standard for Use of the InternationalSystem of Units(SI):The Modern Metric System3.Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms related to this specification,seeTerminology C219.4.Ordering Information4.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following:4.1.1 This specification number and date,and4.1.2 Optional physical requirements as given in 7.2.5.Additions5.1 The cement covered by this specification shall containno addition except as follows:5.1.1 Water,or calcium sulfate,or both.5.1.2 Processing additions used in the manufacture of thecement shall have been shown to meet the requirements ofSpecification C465 in the amounts used or greater.5.1.3 Functional additions shall have been shown to meetthe requirements of Specification C688 when tested with thecement to be used in the amounts used or greater.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C01 on Cementand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C01.10 on Hydraulic Cements forGeneral Concrete Construction.Current edition approved Jan.1,2014.Published March 2014.Originallyapproved in 1904.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as C10/C10M13.DOI:10.1520/C0010_C0010M-14.2For 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 States1 6.Chemical Requirements6.1 Natural cements shall conform to the standard chemicalrequirements in Table 1.7.Physical Requirements7.1 Natural cements and quick-setting natural cements shallconform to the respective standard physical requirementsprescribed in Table 1.NOTE2Time of setting requirements for natural cements havechanged over time.Requirements of previous editions of this standard areas follows:1904-1937:Minimum 10 min initial setting,minimum 30 min finalsetting1937-1954:Minimum 10 min initial setting(Vicat)or 20 min(Gillmore)and maximum 10 h final setting1954-1962:Minimum 10 min and maximum 6 h initial setting(TestMethod C191)1962-1970:Minimum 60 min initial setting and maximum 12 h finalsetting(Gillm
