ASTM C114-23

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.

Chemical Analysis of Hydraulic Cement
This standard is issued under the fixed designation C114; 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 These test methods cover the chemical analyses of hydraulic cements. Any test methods of demonstrated acceptable precision
and bias may be used for analysis of hydraulic cements, including analyses for referee and certification purposes, as explained in
Section 4. Specific chemical test methods are provided for ease of reference for those desiring to use them. They are grouped as
Reference Test Methods and Alternative Test Methods. The reference test methods are long accepted classical chemical test
methods which provide a reasonably well-integrated basic scheme of analysis for hydraulic cements. The alternative test methods
generally provide individual determination of specific analytes and may be used alone or as alternates and determinations within
the basic scheme at the option of the analyst and as indicated in the individual method.
