10. Inspection
I 0.1 Inspection of the material shall be made as agreed upon
between the purchaser and the seller as part of the purchase
contract.
11. Rejection
11.1 The cement shall be rejected if it fails to meet any of
the requirements of this specification.
11.2 At the option of the purchaser, retest, before using,
cement remaining in bulk storage for more than 6 months or
cement in bags in local storage in the custody of a vendor for
more than 3 months after completion of tests and reject the
cement if it fails to conform to any of the requirements of this
specification. Cement so rejected shall be the responsibility of
the owner of record at the time of resampling for retest.
11.3 Packages shall identify the mass contained as net
weight. At the option of the purchaser, packages more than 2 %
below the mass marked thereon shall be rejected and if the
average mass of packages in any shipment, as shown by
determining the mass of 50 packages selected at random, is less
than that marked on the packages, the entire shipment shall be
rejected.
12. Manufacturer's Statement
12.1 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shall
state in writing the nature, amount, and identity of any
air-entraining addition and of any processing addition used,
and also, if requested, shall supply test data showing compli-
ance of such air-entraining addition with Specification C 226
and of such processing addition with Specification C 465.
12.2 When limestone is used, the manufacturer shall state in
writing the amount thereof and, if requested by the purchaser,
shall supply comparative test data on chemical and physical
properties of the cement with and without the limestone (See
Note 5). The comparative tests do not supersede the normal
testing to confirm that the cement meets chemical and physical
requirements of this standard. The amount of limestone in
cement shall be determined in accordance with Annex A2.
Nom 5-Comparative test data may be from qualification tests per-
formed by the manufacturer during formulation of the eement with
limestone.
1~- Pa~kagipg amJ Pa~kag(! Marking
13.1 When the cement is delivered in packages, the words
"Portland Cement," the type of cement, the name and brand of
the manufacturer, and the mass of the cement contained therein
shall be plainly marked on each package. When the cement is
an air-entraining type, the words "air-entraining" shall be
plainly marked on each package. Similar information shall be
provided in the shipping documents accompanying the ship-
ment of packaged or bulk cement. All packages shall be in
good condition at the time of inspection.
NoTE 6-With the change to SI units, it is desirable to establish a
standard SI package for portland cements. To that end 42 kg (92.6 lb)
provides a convenient, even-numbered mass reasonably similar to the
traditional 94-lb (42.6-k~) packa~e.
14. Storage
14.1 The cement shall be stored in such a manner as to
permit easy access for proper inspection and identification of
each shipment, and in a suitable weather-tight building that
will protect the cement from dampness and minimize ware-
house set.
15. Manufacturer's Certification
15.1 Upon request of the purchaser in the contract or order,
a manufacturer's report shall be furnished at the time of
shipment stating the results of tests made on samples of the
material taken during production or transfer and certifying that
the cement conforms to applicable requirements of this speci-
fication.

(Mandatory lnfonnation)

Al. CALCULATION OF POTENTIAL CEMENT PHASE COMPOSITION

Al.l All values calculated as described in this annex shall Dicalcium silicate (C2S} = (2.867 X % Si02) - (0.7544 X % C3S}
be rounded according to Practice E 29. When evaluating (Al.2)
conformance to a specification, round values to the same
number of places as the corresponding table entry before Tricalcium aluminate (C 3A) = (2.650 X % A120 3) -

making comparisons. The expressing of chemical limitations (1.692 X % F~0 3 ) (AI.3)

by means of calculated assumed phases does not necessarily
mean that the oxides are actually or entirely present as such
phases.
Al.2 When expressing phases, C = CaO, S Si02 , = ing potential tricalcium silicate. In the absence of information
A= Al 2 0 3 , F = Fe2 0 3 . For example, C 3A = 3CaO·Al2 0 3 . Ti-
tanium dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide (Ti0 2 and P2 0 5 )
shall not be included with the Al 2 0 3 content. See Note Al.l.
Nom ALI-When comparing oxide analyses and calculated phases
from different sources or from different historic times, be aware that they
may not have been reported on exactly the same basis. Chemical data
obtained by Reference and Alternate Test Methods of Test Methods C 114
(wet chemistry) may include titania and phosphorus as alumina unless
proper correction has been made (see Test Methods C 114), while data
obtained by rapid instrumental methods usually do not. This can result in
smaLl differences in the calculated phases. Such differences are usually
within the precision of the analytical methods, even when the methods are
properly qualified under the requirements of Test Methods C 114.
Tetracalcium aluminoferrite (C4 AF) = 3 .043 X % Fe20 3
(Al.4)
Unless limestone is used in the cement, the carbon dioxide
content shall be considered to be equal to zero when calculat-
on the limestone content of the cement sample, results shall
note that no correction has been made for possible use of
limestone.
Al.3 .1 When the alumina-ferric oxide ratio is less than 0.64,
a calcium aluminoferrite solid solution (expressed as
ss(C4 AF + C2F)) is formed . No tricalcium aluminate will be
present in cements of this composition. Dicalcium silicate shall
be calculated as in Eq Al .2. Contents of this solid solution and
of tricalcium silicate shall be calculated by the following
formulas:
ss (C4 AF + C2 F) = (2.100 X% Al2 0 3) + (1.702 X % F~03 )
(Al.S)

Al.3 When the ratio of percentages of aluminum oxide to Tricalcium silicate (C3S) = (4.071 X % CaO) - (7.600 X % Si02} -

ferric oxide is 0.64 or more, the percentages of tricalcium (4.479 X % A1 20 3 ) - (2.859 X % F~0 3 ) -

silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and tetracal-
cium aluminoferrite shall be calculated from the chemical
analysis as follows:
Tricalcium silicate (C3S) = (4.071 X % CaO) - (7.600 X % Si0 2) -
(6.718 X % A1 20 3) - (1.430 X % Fe2 0 3) -
(2.852 X % S0 3) - (5 . 188 X % C0 2)
(ALl)
(2.852 X% S0 3) - (5 .188 X% C02)
(AI.6)
Unless limestone is used in the cement, the carbon dioxide
content shall be considered to be equal to zero when calculat-
ing potential tricalcium silicate. In the absence of information
on the limestone content of the cement sample, results shall
note that no correction has been made for possible use of
limestone.

A2. LIMESTONE CONTENT OF PORTLAND CEMENT

A2.1 When limestone is used, the limestone content in
portland cement shall be derived from the determination of
C0 2 in the finished cement. Analysis of C0 2 shall be based on
methods described in Test Methods C 11 4. The percent lime-
stone in the cement is calculated from the C0 2 analysis based
on the C0 2 content of the limestone used.
The manufacturer shall include the C0 2 content and calcu-
lated limestone content of the cement on the Mill Test Report.
The limestone content of the cement is calculated as follows:
% C02 in the cement . .
% C0 in the limestone X 100 = % limestone m cement

(Nonmandatory Information)
Xl.l To provide uniformity for reporting the results of tests
performed on cements under this specification, as required by
Section 15 of Specification C 150 entitled ''Manufacturer's
Certification," an example Mill Test Report is shown in Fig.
Xl.l .
Xl.2 The identity information given should unambiguously
identify the cement production represented by the Mill Test
Report and may vary depending upon the manufacturer's
designation and purchaser's requirements.
Xl.3 The Manufacturer's Certification statement may vary
depending upon the manufacturer's procurement order, or legal
requirements, but should certify that the cement shipped is
represented by the certificate and that the cement conforms to
applicable requirements of the specification at the time it was
tested (or retested) or shipped.

limestone as follows: % CaC03 = 2.274 X% C02 .
Nom A2.2-For verification of limestone content of cement, the
purchaser must analyze for C0 2 content and make a correction for the
content of CaC0 3 in the limestone in order for the data to be compamble
to the manufacturer's reporL
A2.3 Portland cements that do not contain limestone can
contain baseline levels of C02 inherent in manufacture, for
example, due to carbonation. This baseline C02 content is
included as part of any calculated limestone content.
X1.4 The sample Mill Test Report has been developed to
reflect the chemical and physical requirements of this specifi-
cation and recommends reporting all analyses and tests nor-
mally pe1formed on cements meeting Specification C 150.
Purchaser reporting requirements should govern if different
from normal reporting by the manufacturer or from those
recommended here.
Xl.5 Cements may be shipped prior to later-age test data
being available. In such cases, the test value may be left blank.
Alternatively, the manufacturer can generally provide esti-
mates based on historical production data. The report should
indicate if such estimates are provided.
Xl.6 In reporting limits from the tables in Specification
C 150 on the Mill Test Report, only those limits specifically
applicable should be listed. In some cases, Specification C 150
table limits are superceded by other provisions.
