Designation:C183/C183M16Standard Practice forSampling and the Amount of Testing of Hydraulic Cement1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C183/C183M;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.Scope1.1 This practice covers procedures for sampling and for theamount of testing of hydraulic cement after it has beenmanufactured and is ready to be offered for sale.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 Standard IEEE/ASTM SI 10,Values arestated in only SI units when inch-pound units are not used inpractice1.3 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 consideredrequirements of the standard.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.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C10/C10M Specification for Natural CementC91/C91M Specification for Masonry CementC109/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 theTurbidimeterC150/C150M Specification for Portland CementC151/C151M Test Method for Autoclave Expansion of Hy-draulic CementC157/C157M Test Method for Length Change of HardenedHydraulic-Cement Mortar and ConcreteC185 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 byAir-Permeability ApparatusC227 Test Method for Potential Alkali Reactivity ofCement-Aggregate Combinations(Mortar-Bar Method)C266 Test Method for Time of Setting of Hydraulic-CementPaste by Gillmore NeedlesC430 Test Method for Fineness of Hydraulic Cement by the45-m(No.325)SieveC451 Test Method for Early Stiffening of Hydraulic Cement(Paste Method)C452/C452M Test Method for Potential Expansion ofPortland-Cement Mortars Exposed to SulfateC595/C595M Specification for Blended Hydraulic CementsC806 Test Method for Restrained Expansion of ExpansiveCement MortarC807 Test Method for Time of Setting of Hydraulic CementMortar by Modified Vicat NeedleC845/C845M Specification for Expansive Hydraulic Ce-mentC1012/C1012M Test Method for Length Change ofHydraulic-Cement Mortars Exposed to a Sulfate SolutionC1038/C1038M Test Method for Expansion of HydraulicCement Mortar Bars Stored in WaterC1157/C1157M Performance Specification for HydraulicCementC1328/C1328M Specification for Plastic(Stucco)CementC1329/C1329M Specification for Mortar Cement1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C01 on Cement andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C01.95 on Coordination of Standards.Current edition approved Oct.15,2016.Published October 2015.Originallyapproved in 1944.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as C183/C183M 15.DOI:10.1520/C0183_C0183M-16.2For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 C1357 Test Methods for Evaluating Masonry Bond Strength(Withdrawn 2016)3C1506 Test Method for Water Retention of HydraulicCement-Based Mortars and PlastersE11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and TestSievesIEEE/ASTM SI 10 Standard for Use of the InternationalSystem of Units(SI):The Modern Metric System2.2 ACI Standard:225.1R Guide to the Selection and Use of Hydraulic Ce-ments43.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 lot(of cement),nspecific quantity of cement offeredfor inspection at any one time.A lot may be one or morestorage bins filled consecutively.Alot may also be the contentsof one or more transport units representing cement draw
