Cement Specification Emphasizes Performance（水泥规范强调性能）.pdf

by Paul D. Tennis ASTM C 1157, Standard Performance Specification for Hydraulic Cement, is a relatively new specification in which restrictions on composition of the material are minimized. For the producer, ASTM C 1157 allows optimal use of raw materials and the ability to produce innovative cements. For the specifier, it contains Many limits in C 1157 applicable to all cement types optional requirements that are not available under other specifications. are similar to requirements in C 150 and C 595. All Requirements in C 1157 are largely based on C 150 and C 595, the traditional, cement types in C 1157 are required to meet maximum cement specifications that contain a combination of prescriptive and performance autoclave expansion (0.8%) and maximum mortar bar limits. However, the newer specification contains unique features as well. expansion (0.020% at 14 days) limits that are identical to those in C 150 and C 595. Likewise, initial setting ASTM C 1157 was first approved in 1992 as a performance specification for blended time (Vicat test, C 191) is between 45 and 420 minutes, cements; however, in 1998 it was amended to include portland cements. Thus, for which is identical to C 595 and only slightly extended the first time, both portland and blended cements could be specified under one stan- from C 150 (between 45 and 375 minutes). One dard based on identical performance requirements. Cements are classified into six optional r
