ASTM C465
Full Name
ASTM C465 – Standard Specification for Processing Additions for Use in the Manufacture of Hydraulic Cements
Scope
ASTM C465 outlines the criteria and tests to determine whether a processing addition is suitable for use in the manufacture of hydraulic cements. It helps assess if these additions meet the requirements of specific standards such as ASTM C150, C1157, C845, and C595.
Key points of the scope include:
- Types of additions: the standard covers both organic and inorganic processing additions.
- Evaluation process: it details the tests and procedures required to assess the impact of processing additions on the properties of hydraulic cements. This involves comparing the properties of cements with and without the addition, with a focus on strength, setting time, and other relevant characteristics.
- Safety considerations: the standard acknowledges the potential hazards associated with the use of processing additions and emphasizes the importance of following safe practices during testing and production.
- Referenced documents: it provides a list of other ASTM standards that are relevant to the evaluation of processing additions.
Overall, ASTM C465 plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and performance of hydraulic cements by establishing guidelines for the safe and effective use of processing additions in their production.
