FOREWORD
Thi. Indi•• St.nd.rd ( Second Revieion ) .....dopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after tho
draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by tile Cioil
Enlineerin. Dilliaion Council.
Hydrophobic cement deteriorates very little durina prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions.
This cement is obtllined by intergrinding 33 grade ordinary Portland cement clink.er with certain hydro-
phobic asents wbich Will impa.rt to the cement a water repelling property. The bydrophobic I1ropeniet.
arc due tQ the formation of a water repellant film around each panicle o{ cement. This film il broken
during the mixing of the concrete, and normal hydration takes place. Hydropbobre cement shall not
be confused with waterproofing cements. A test on hydrophobicity i. also included in Ibis standard.
Thi. standard was first issued as an emergency standard in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1978.
Since ppbhcation of the first revision of this standard, amendments nave: been issued from time to time
in order to modify various. requirements based 01\ the requirements of the users and also k.cepinl in
view the raw materials and fuel available in the countf} for manufacture of cement. The important
a.mendments include modification in the tolerance requtremente for the mass of cement packed in
bap, permitting packaginl of cement in 25 kg bags, making compulsory provision Cor Issuing a eeru..
fieate indicating the total chloride content in percent by mass of cement, permitting differtnl bags fOt
packing of cement, incorporating de-bib for considering of suppJy of cement as bulk supply, etc. In
view of these large number of amendments, tbe Committee decided to bring out tbe second revision of
this standard incorporating all these amendments so as 10 make it convenient {or the uscn.
MaR of cement packed in bags and the tolerance requirements fer the mBa'S Dfcement packed. in bag.
shllll be in accordance witb the relevant provisions of the Standards of Wei_bts Bnd Measurel ( Pack-
aged Comm.odities) Rules. 1977 an.d C-l.Z (ue Annex C for information). Any modification in
these rules in respect of tolerance on mass of cement would apply automatically to this standard.
The composition ofthe Technical Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard i'liven
al AnDc~ D.
for tbe purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or aOIIYlil, shaH be rounded oft'tn
aeeordanee with IS 2 : 1%0 "Rules for rounding oft' numerical values ( replsed)". The number or
