ASTM C150

Full Name

ASTM C150 – Standard Specification for Portland Cement

Scope

This specification covers ten types of portland cement:

  1. Type I – For use when the special properties specified for any other type are not required.
  2. Type IA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type I, where air-entrainment is desired.
  3. Type II – For general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance is desired.
  4. Type IIA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II, where air-entrainment is desired.
  5. Type II(MH) – For general use, more especially when moderate heat of hydration and moderate sulfate resistance are desired.
  6. Type II(MH)A – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II(MH), where air-entrainment is desired.
  7. Type III – For use when high early strength is desired.
  8. Type IIIA – Air-entraining cement for the same use as Type III, where air-entrainment is desired.
  9. Type IV – For use when a low heat of hydration is desired.
  10. Type V – For use when high sulfate resistance is desired.
