as follows (see Note 2):
1.1.1 Type IFor use when the special properties specified
for any other type are not required.
1.1.2 Type IAAir-entraining cement for the same uses as
Type I, where air-entrainment is desired.
1.1.3 Type IIFor general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance or moderate heat of hydration is
desired.
1.1.4 Type IIAAir-entraining cement for the same uses as
Type II, where air-entrainment is desired.
1.1.5 Type IIIFor use when high early strength is desired.
1.1.6 Type IIIAAir-entraining cement for the same use as

B

the manufacturer, and the mass of the cement contained therein

shall be plainly marked on each package. When the cement is
an air-entraining type, the words air-entraining shall be
plainly marked on each package. Similar information shall be
provided in the shipping documents accompanying the shipment of packaged or bulk cement. All packages shall be in
good condition at the time of inspection.

specification. Cement so rejected shall be the responsibility of

the owner of record at the time of resampling for retest.
11.3 Packages shall identify the mass contained as net
weight. At the option of the purchaser, packages more than 2 %
below the mass marked thereon shall be rejected and if the
average mass of packages in any shipment, as shown by
determining the mass of 50 packages selected at random, is less
than that marked on the packages, the entire shipment shall be
rejected.

NOTE 4With the change to SI units, it is desirable to establish a

standard SI package for portland cements. To that end 42 kg (92.6 lb)
provides a convenient, even-numbered mass reasonably similar to the
traditional 94-lb (42.6-kg) package.

12. Manufacturers Statement

12.1 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shall
state in writing the nature, amount, and identity of any
air-entraining addition and of any processing addition used,
and also, if requested, shall supply test data showing compliance of such air-entraining addition with Specification C 226
and of such processing addition with Specification C 465.
12.2 When limestone is used, the manufacturer shall state in
writing the amount thereof and, if requested by the purchaser,
shall supply comparative test data on chemical and physical
properties of the cement with and without the limestone (See
Note 3). The comparative tests do not supersede the normal
testing to confirm that the cement meets chemical and physical
requirements of this standard. The amount of limestone in
cement shall be determined in accordance with Annex A2.

14. Storage
14.1 The cement shall be stored in such a manner as to
permit easy access for proper inspection and identification of
each shipment, and in a suitable weather-tight building that
will protect the cement from dampness and minimize warehouse set.
15. Manufacturers Certification
15.1 Upon request of the purchaser in the contract or order,
a manufacturers report shall be furnished at the time of
shipment stating the results of tests made on samples of the
material taken during production or transfer and certifying that
the cement conforms to applicable requirements of this specification.

NOTE 3Comparative test data may be from qualification tests performed by the manufacturer during formulation of the cement with
limestone.

NOTE 5Guidance on preparing the manufacturers report is provided

in Appendix X1.

(Mandatory Information)
A1. CALCULATION OF POTENTIAL CEMENT PHASE COMPOSITION

A1.1 All values calculated as described in this annex shall

be rounded according to Practice E 29. When evaluating
conformance to a specification, round values to the same
number of places as the corresponding table entry before
making comparisons. The expressing of chemical limitations
by means of calculated assumed phases does not necessarily
mean that the oxides are actually or entirely present as such
phases.

Tricalcium silicate ~C3S! 5 ~4.071 3 % CaO! 2 ~7.600 3 % SiO2! 2

~6.718 3 % Al2O3! 2 ~1.430 3 % Fe2O3! 2
~2.852 3 % SO3! 2 ~5.188 3 % CO2!
(A1.1)

A1.2 When expressing phases, C = CaO, S = SiO2,

A = Al2O3, F = Fe2O3. For example, C3A = 3CaOAl2O3. Titanium dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide (TiO2 and P2O5)
shall not be included with the Al2O3 content. See Note A1.1.

Tetracalcium aluminoferrite ~C4AF! 5 3.043 3 % Fe2O3

Dicalcium silicate ~C2S! 5 ~2.867 3 % SiO2! 2 ~0.7544 3 % C3S!

(A1.2)
Tricalcium aluminate ~C3A! 5 ~2.650 3 % Al2O3! 2
~1.692 3 % Fe2O3!

(A1.3)
(A1.4)

Unless limestone is used in the cement, the carbon dioxide

content shall be considered to be equal to zero when calculating potential tricalcium silicate.
A1.3.1 When the alumina-ferric oxide ratio is less than 0.64,
a calcium aluminoferrite solid solution (expressed as
ss(C4AF + C2F)) is formed. No tricalcium aluminate will be
present in cements of this composition. Dicalcium silicate shall
be calculated as in Eq A1.2. Contents of this solid solution and
of tricalcium silicate shall be calculated by the following
formulas:

NOTE A1.1When comparing oxide analyses and calculated phases

from different sources or from different historic times, be aware that they
may not have been reported on exactly the same basis. Chemical data
obtained by Reference and Alternate Test Methods of Test Methods C 114
(wet chemistry) may include titania and phosphorus as alumina unless
proper correction has been made (see Test Methods C 114), while data
obtained by rapid instrumental methods usually do not. This can result in
small differences in the calculated phases. Such differences are usually
within the precision of the analytical methods, even when the methods are
properly qualified under the requirements of Test Methods C 114.

ss ~C4AF 1 C2F! 5 ~2.100 3 % Al2O3! 1 ~1.702 3 % Fe2O3!

(A1.5)

A1.3 When the ratio of percentages of aluminum oxide to

ferric oxide is 0.64 or more, the percentages of tricalcium
silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and tetracalcium aluminoferrite shall be calculated from the chemical
analysis as follows:

Tricalcium silicate ~C3S! 5 ~4.071 3 % CaO! 2 ~7.600 3 % SiO2! 2

~4.479 3 % Al2O3! 2 ~2.859 3 % Fe2O3! 2
~2.852 3 % SO3! 2 ~5.188 3 % CO2!
(A1.6)

Unless limestone is used in the cement, the carbon dioxide

content shall be considered to be equal to zero when calculating potential tricalcium silicate.

A2. LIMESTONE CONTENT OF PORTLAND CEMENT

1.5
43 3 100 5 3.5 % limestone content in cement

A2.1 When limestone is used, the limestone content in

portland cement shall be derived from the determination of
CO2 in the finished cement. Analysis of CO2 shall be based on
methods described in Test Methods C 114. The percent limestone in the cement is calculated from the CO2 analysis based
on the CO2 content of the limestone used.
The manufacturer shall include the CO2 content and calculated limestone content of the cement on the Mill Test Report.
The limestone content of the cement is calculated as follows:

A2.2 This specification requires that the limestone to be

used must contain a minimum of 70 % CaCO3. The manufacturer shall include the CaCO3 content of the limestone on the
manufacturers report.
NOTE A2.2For verification of limestone content of cement, the
purchaser must analyze for CO2 content and make a correction for the
content of CaCO3 in the limestone in order for the data to be comparable
to the manufacturers report.

% CO2 in the cement

% CO2 in the limestone 3 100 5 % limestone in cement

A2.3 Portland cements that do not contain limestone can

contain baseline levels of CO2 inherent in manufacture, for
example, due to carbonation. This baseline CO2 content is
included as part of any calculated limestone content.

NOTE A2.1For example:

Where the determined CO2 content in the finished cement = 1.5 % and
the CO2 content of the limestone = 43 % (CaCO3 in limestone = 98 %)

APPENDIX
(Nonmandatory Information)
X1. MANUFACTURERS CERTIFICATION (MILL TEST REPORT)

X1.4 The sample Mill Test Report has been developed to

reflect the chemical and physical requirements of this specification and recommends reporting all analyses and tests normally performed on cements meeting Specification C 150.
Purchaser reporting requirements should govern if different
from normal reporting by the manufacturer or from those
recommended here.

X1.1 To provide uniformity for reporting the results of tests

performed on cements under this specification, as required by
Section 15 of Specification C 150 entitled Manufacturers
Certification, an example Mill Test Report is shown in Fig.
X1.1.
X1.2 The identity information given should unambiguously
identify the cement production represented by the Mill Test
Report and may vary depending upon the manufacturers
designation and purchasers requirements.

X1.5 Cements may be shipped prior to later-age test data

being available. In such cases, the test value may be left blank.
Alternatively, the manufacturer can generally provide estimates based on historical production data. The report should
indicate if such estimates are provided.

X1.3 The Manufacturers Certification statement may vary

depending upon the manufacturers procurement order, or legal
requirements, but should certify that the cement shipped is
represented by the certificate and that the cement conforms to
applicable requirements of the specification at the time it was
tested (or retested) or shipped.

X1.6 In reporting limits from the tables in Specification

C 150 on the Mill Test Report, only those limits specifically
applicable should be listed. In some cases, Specification C 150
table limits are superceded by other provisions.
