Designation:C150/C150M17Standard Specification forPortland Cement1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C150/C150M;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.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers ten types of portland cement,as follows(see Note 2):1.1.1 Type IFor use when the special properties specifiedfor any other type are not required.1.1.2 Type IAAir-entraining cement for the same uses asType I,where air-entrainment is desired.1.1.3 Type IIFor general use,more especially when mod-erate sulfate resistance is desired.1.1.4 Type IIAAir-entraining cement for the same uses asType II,where air-entrainment is desired.1.1.5 Type II(MH)For general use,more especially whenmoderate heat of hydration and moderate sulfate resistance aredesired.1.1.6 Type II(MH)AAir-entraining cement for the sameuses as Type II(MH),where air-entrainment is desired.1.1.7 Type IIIFor use when high early strength is desired.1.1.8 Type IIIAAir-entraining cement for the same use asType III,where air-entrainment is desired.1.1.9 Type IVFor use when a low heat of hydration isdesired.1.1.10 Type VFor use when high sulfate resistance isdesired.NOTE1Some cements are designated with a combined typeclassification,such as Type I/II,indicating that the cement meets therequirements of the indicated types and is being offered as suitable for usewhen either type is desired.NOTE2Cement conforming to the requirements for all types are notcarried in stock in some areas.In advance of specifying the use of cementother than Type I,determine whether the proposed type of cement is,orcan be made,available.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.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:2C33 Specification for Concrete AggregatesC51 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 HydraulicCementC115 Test Method for Fineness of Portland Cement by theTurbidimeterC151 Test Method for Autoclave Expansion of HydraulicCementC183 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 HydraulicCementC191 Test Methods for Time of Setting of Hydraulic Cementby Vicat NeedleC204 Test Methods for Fineness of Hydraulic Cement by1This 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 1940.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as C150/C150M 161.DOI:10.1520/C0150_C0150M-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 Air-Permeability ApparatusC219 Terminology Relating to Hydraulic CementC226 Specification for Air-Entraining Additions for Use inthe Manufacture o
