6.2 Composition and notation of sulfate resisting common cements (SR-Cements)

The seven products in the family of the sulfate resisting common cements, covered by this standard are given in
Table 2. <,

They are grouped into three main cement types as follows:

Sulfate resisting Portland cement:

GEM I-SR 0 Sulfate resisting Portland cement (G~ content of the clinker = 0 %),

GEM I-SR 3 Sulfate resisting Portland cement (G~ content of the clinker s 3 %),

GEM I-SR 5 Sulfate resisting Portland cement (G~ content of the clinker s 5 %),

Sulfate resisting blast furnace cement:

GEM III1B-SR Sulfate resisting blast furnace cement (no requirement on G3A content of the clinker),

GEM III/G-SR Sulfate resisting blast furnace cement (no requirement on G3A content of the clinker),

Sulfate resisting pozzolanic cement:

GEM IV/A-SR Sulfate resisting pozzolanic cement (G~ content of the clinker s 9 %),

GEM IV/B-SR Sulfate resisting pozzolanic cement (G~ content of the clinker s 9 %).

The composition of each of the seven products in the family of the sulfate resisting common cements shall be in
accordance with Table 2. The cement type notation shall be in accordance with the requirements of this standard with
additional notation by SR 0, SR 3, SR 5 for GEM I cements and only "SR" for GEM III and IV cements.
