ASTM C1157
Full Name
ASTM C1157 – Standard Performance Specification for Hydraulic Cement
Scope
ASTM C1157 is a standard performance specification for hydraulic cements, covering both general and special applications. It sets out performance requirements for hydraulic cement without placing restrictions on the composition or constituents of the cement.
The scope of ASTM C1157 includes:
- Classification: it classifies hydraulic cements based on their performance characteristics, such as compressive strength, setting time, and heat of hydration.
- Performance requirements: the standard specifies minimum performance requirements for various properties of hydraulic cement, ensuring that it meets specific criteria for its intended use.
- Test methods: it provides standardized test methods for evaluating the performance of hydraulic cement, allowing for consistent and reliable testing across different laboratories and applications.
- Ordering information: it outlines the information that must be included when ordering hydraulic cement, such as the specification designation, type of cement, optional requirements, and any additional details.
- General requirements: it covers general requirements for hydraulic cement, such as packaging, marking, storage, and inspection.
It’s important to note that ASTM C1157 does not specify the composition of hydraulic cement. It focuses on the performance of the cement, regardless of its constituents. This allows for the use of a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes to produce hydraulic cement that meets the performance requirements of the standard.
