Designation:C387/C387M15Standard Specification forPackaged,Dry,Combined Materials for Concrete and HighStrength Mortar1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C387/C387M;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 the production,properties,packaging,and testing of packaged,dry,combined materialsfor concrete and high strength mortar.The classifications ofconcrete and mortar covered are defined in Section 3.NOTE1The scope of this standard does not cover mortars for unitmasonry.Dry preblended mortars for unit masonry are covered bySpecification C1714/C1714M.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.Some values have only SI units because theinch-pound equivalents are not used in practice.1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion of this specification.This standard does notpurport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associatedwith its use.It is the responsibility of the user of this standardto establish appropriate safety and health practices anddetermine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior touse.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C33 Specification for Concrete AggregatesC39/C39M Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylin-drical Concrete SpecimensC91 Specification for Masonry CementC109/C109M Test Method for Compressive Strength ofHydraulic Cement Mortars(Using 2-in.or 50-mm CubeSpecimens)C125 Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete Ag-gregatesC138/C138M Test Method for Density(Unit Weight),Yield,and Air Content(Gravimetric)of ConcreteC143/C143M Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic-CementConcreteC144 Specification for Aggregate for Masonry MortarC150 Specification for Portland CementC173/C173M Test Method forAir Content of Freshly MixedConcrete by the Volumetric MethodC185 Test Method for Air Content of Hydraulic CementMortarC192/C192M Practice for Making and Curing Concrete TestSpecimens in the LaboratoryC207 Specification for Hydrated Lime for Masonry Pur-posesC231 Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Con-crete by the Pressure MethodC260 Specification for Air-Entraining Admixtures for Con-creteC270 Specification for Mortar for Unit MasonryC305 Practice for Mechanical Mixing of Hydraulic CementPastes and Mortars of Plastic ConsistencyC330 Specification for Lightweight Aggregates for Struc-tural ConcreteC494/C494M Specification for Chemical Admixtures forConcreteC566 Test Method for Total Evaporable Moisture Content ofAggregate by DryingC595 Specification for Blended Hydraulic CementsC618 Specification for Coal Fly Ash and Raw or CalcinedNatural Pozzolan for Use in ConcreteC702 Practice for Reducing Samples ofAggregate to TestingSizeC989 Specification for Slag Cement for Use in Concrete andMortarsC1116 Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete andShotcreteC1157 Performance Specification for Hydraulic CementC1240 Specification for Silica Fume Used in CementitiousMixturesC1329 Specification for Mortar Cement1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregatesand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.43 on Packaged Dry Combined Materials.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published December 2015.Originallyapproved in 1956.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as C387/C387M11b.DOI:10.1520/C0387_C0387M-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 C1437 Test Method for Flow of Hydraulic Cement MortarC1438 Specification for Latex and Powder Polymer Modi-fiers for use in Hydraulic Cement Concrete and MortarC1600/C1600M Specification for Rapid Hardening Hydrau-lic CementC1714/C1714M Specification for Preblended Dry MortarMix for Unit Masonry3.Terminology3.1 Definitions3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this specification,referto Terminology C125.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1concrete,high-early strength,nin packaged,dry,combined materials,a product for building and repair requiringa more rapid than normal strength development.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThis product allows for earlier removalof forms and allows concrete projects to be put in
