Designation:C11415Standard Test Methods forChemical Analysis of Hydraulic Cement1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C114;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 These test methods cover the chemical analyses ofhydraulic cements.Any test methods of demonstrated accept-able precision and bias may be used for analysis of hydrauliccements,including analyses for referee and certificationpurposes,as explained in Section 4.Specific chemical testmethods are provided for ease of reference for those desiring touse them.They are grouped as Reference Test Methods andAlternative Test Methods.The reference test methods are longaccepted classical chemical test methods which provide areasonably well-integrated basic scheme of analysis for hy-draulic cements.The alternative test methods generally provideindividual determination of specific analytes and may be usedalone or as alternates and determinations within the basicscheme at the option of the analyst and as indicated in theindividual method.1.2 Contents:SectionSubject2Referenced Documents4Description of Referee Analyses4.1Referee Analyses5Qualification for Different Analyses5.1Certified Reference Materials5.2Requirements for Qualification Testing5.3Alternative Analyses5.4Performance Requirements for Rapid Test Methods6General6.1Interferences and Limitations6.2Apparatus and Materials6.3Reagents6.4Sample Preparation6.5General Procedures6.6Recommended Order for Reporting AnalysesReference Test Methods7Insoluble Residue8Silicon Dioxide8.2Cements with Insoluble Residue Less Than 1%8.3Cements with Insoluble Residue Greater Than 1%9Ammonium Hydroxide Group10Ferric Oxide11Phosphorus Pentoxide12Titanium Dioxide13Zinc Oxide14Aluminum Oxide15Calcium Oxide16Magnesium Oxide17Sulfur17.1Sulfur Trioxide17.2Sulfide18Loss On Ignition18.1Portland Cement18.2Portland Blast-Furnace Slag Cement and Slag Cement19Sodium and Potassium Oxides19.1Total Alkalis19.2Water-Soluble Alkalis20Manganic Oxide21Chloride22Chloroform-Soluble Organic SubstancesAlternative Test Methods23Calcium Oxide24Carbon Dioxide25Magnesium Oxide26Loss on Ignition26.1Portland Blast-Furnace Slag Cement and Slag Cement27Titanium Dioxide28Phosphorus Pentoxide29Manganic Oxide30Free Calcium OxideAppendicesAppendix X1Example of Determination of Equivalence Pointfor the Chloride DeterminationAppendix X2CO2Determinations in Hydraulic Cements1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.See 8.3.2.1 and16.4.1 for specific caution statements.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C25 Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Limestone,Quicklime,and Hydrated Lime1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C01 onCement and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C01.23 on CompositionalAnalysis.Current edition approved April 15,2015.Published April 2015.Originallyapproved in 1934.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as C114 13.DOI:10.1520/C0114-15.2For 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 D1193 Specification for Reagent WaterE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE275 Practice for Describing and Measuring Performance ofUltraviolet and Visible SpectrophotometersE350 Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Carbon Steel,Low-Alloy Steel,Silicon Electrical Steel,Ingot Iron,andWrought IronE617 Specification for Laboratory Weights and PrecisionMass StandardsE832 Specification for Laboratory Filter Papers3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 analyte,na substance of interest when performing aquantitative analysis.3.1.1.1 DiscussionFor the purposes of this test method,analytes are considered to be those items listed in Column 1 ofTable 1.4.Description of Referee Analyses4.1 Referee AnalysesWhen conformance to chemicalspecification requirements is questioned,perform refereeanalyses as described in 4.1.1.The reference test methods thatfollow in Sections 7 22,or other test methods qualifiedaccording to 5.4,the Performance Requirements for Rapid TestMethods Section,are required for
