    This document provides guidance on sampling and testing procedures for hydraulic cement. It aims to rationalize how cement should be sampled and the amount of testing required after production and before being offered for sale. Key points covered include: - Recommending composite or grab samples weigh at least 5kg and discussing who is responsible for sampling, packing, and shipping. - Emphasizing the need for coordination between purchasers, manufacturers, and laboratories to meet testing schedules and provide timely results. - Requiring manufacturers to provide samples in advance to allow sufficient testing time before results are needed.

    SAMPLING AND THE AMOUNT OF TESTING

    OF HYDRAULIC CEMENT
    (ASTM C 183 – 02)

    I. OBJECTIVE

     To rationalize the procedures for sampling and for the amount of testing of hydraulic
    cement after it has been produced and offered in the market.

    II. APPARATUS AND MATERIALS

    III. DEFINITION OF TERMS

    IV. DISCUSSION (1-6)

    Significance and Use

    Cement and concrete standards (ASTM, AASHTO, etc.) are basically needed for the
    evaluation and testing of the concrete, cement, and aggregates. These standards ensure
    the quality, like strength and safety of the manufactured products like cement offered in the
    market for selling.
    ASTM C183- 02 (older version of ASTM C183- 16) rationalize the procedures for
    sampling and testing of hydraulic cement after it has been produced and offered for selling
    (not intended for quality control purposes during manufacturing). The procedures shown
    includes the amount of testing to be done as well as the guidance for reporting on
    conformance and non- conformance of cements with requirements of purchase
    specifications.
    Hydraulic cement to be used in field should strictly meet all the requirements of the
    relevant purchase specifications that most of the building codes and construction
    qualifications require. If there are codes or specifications that require sampling of the
    manufactured cement, although there were only few that is sold on the basis of such
    sampling and testing, these provisions are applicable; (1)The procedures that are presented
    on the standard shall be done by the or for purchasers of hydraulic cement, (2) The testing
    is done using the specified methods whether the samples conformed to the specification,
    and the test itself serves as a basis for acceptance or rejection of the lot of material
    sampled.
    Procedure for the sampling of masonry cement (Specification C91), Portland cement
    (Specification C150), blended hydraulic cement (Specification C845), plastic stucco cement
    (Specification C1328), mortar cement (Specification C1329), and hydraulic cement based on
    a performance specification (Specification C1157), are referred to the procedure for
    sampling of ASTM C183- 02 or the standard practice for sampling and the amount of testing
    of hydraulic cement.
    It is neither intended nor required that all cements be tested using all the test methods
    referenced in Section 2. Addition to this, a useful discussion of sampling and testing cement
    is contained in ACI 225.1R.

    Kinds and Size of Samples and by Whom Taken

    Grab sample is a term used to define a cement sample collected from a conveyor, bulk
    storage, or a bulk shipment in one operation. Grab sample can also depict a sample
    acquired using an automatic sampling device that ceaselessly samples a cement stream
    during a 10- minute interval. Composite sample is the combination of the grab samples
    obtained with the directed intervals at a period of time.
    Technically, all the samples whether it is composite or grab should weigh at least 5kg
    (10lb). The sampling, packing, and shipping of samples might be supervised by an assigned
    representative of the purchaser if the purchase contract specified, which also tells who will
    pay the cost for the sampling, packing, and shipping of samples. The sample should be
    numbered consecutively in which the samples are taken and strictly packed in an air- tight,
    moisture- proof receptacle.

    NOTE 1--- “Polyvinyl chloride sample containers, upon occasion, have been found to affect the air- entraining
    potential of a cement sample. The same problem might be experienced with containers made from other
    plastics.”

    Testing- Time Requirements for the Completion of Tests


    Correlation between the purchaser, the manufacturer, and the laboratory (if the test is
    done apart from the cement manufacturer) is basically necessary in administering the
    schedule of cement sampling, sample transportation time, and sample testing schedule to
    have the results on a specified time required. However, the before the time that the results
    are needed, the manufacturer shall provide the sample in advance so that the applicable
    time listed on the table exist. Then, the testing laboratory shall give the results not lather
    than the directed number of days after sampling.
