ASTM C1157-08a

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation:C1157–08 Designation: C 1157 – 08a
Standard Performance Specification for
1
Hydraulic Cement
This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1157; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope*
1.1 This performance specification covers hydraulic cements for both general and special applications.There are no restrictions
on the composition of the cement or its constituents (See Note 1).
NOTE 1—There are two related hydraulic cement standards, Specification C 150 for portland cement and Specifications C 595 for blended cements,
both of which contain prescriptive and performance requirements
1.2 This performance specification classifies cements based on specific requirements for general use, high early strength,
resistance to attack by sulfates, and heat of hydration. Optional requirements are provided for the property of low reactivity with
alkali-silica-reactive aggregates.
1.3 For properties where values are given in both SI and inch-pound units, the values in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. Values in SI units shall be obtained by measurement in SI units or by appropriate conversion, using the Rules for
Conversion and Rounding given in IEEE/ASTM SI 10, of measurements made in other units.
1.4 The text of this standard refers to notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes
(excluding those in tables and figures) are not requirements of the standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
