SPECIFICATION FOR

FOR"EWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the

Bureau of Indian Standards on 28 October
1987, after the draft finalized by the Cement
and Concrete Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Oouncil.

0.2 For certain specialized works, such as,

prestressed concrete and certain items of precast concrete requiring consistently high
strength concrete, the concrete industry quite
often needs a special type of ordinary Portland
cement having the compressive strength much
higher than the minimum compressive strength
limits specified
in IS: 269. 1976* and
IS: 8112.1976t. In the context of present
strength limits specified in IS : 2691 ~76 and
IS: 8\ '2 -. 1976t. the consumer has been normally finding it difficult to get consistent and
ensured supply of high strength cement. It
has, therefore, been felt that unless there is a
separate specification covering a cement hav.ing compressive strength values much above
the existing strength values in IS: 269 1976and IS : 8112 .. 1976t, there are likely to be
quality control difficulties for production
of very high strength concrete,
since
within the ambit of IS : 269 - 1976* and
IS: 8112 - 1976t, it will be very difficult to
. obtain a cernen t having guaranteed strength
much above the minimum values specified in
these standards.. The Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee has, therefore, considered
it necessary to bring out a separate specification for 53 grade ordinary Portland cement,
Specification for ordinary and low heat Portland
cement ( third rtvision ).

tSpecification for high strength ordinary Portland

cement.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers manufacture. chemical and physical requirements of 53 grade
ordinary Portland cement.

2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the
definitions given in IS : 4845-1968 shan apply.
Definhlons and terminology relating to hydraulic
cement.

wherein the minimum 28 days compressive

strength requirements for cement are specified
keeping in view the needs of the consumer for
higher strength concrete and the manufacturing facilities available with the manufacturers.
0.2.1 It may be clarified that 53. grade
ordinary Portland cement -covered by this
specification is distinctly different from rapid
hardening Portland cement covered by
IS : 8041 1978 .
0.3 Mass of cement packed in bags and the
tolerance requirements for the mass of cement
packed in bags shall be in accordance with the
relevant provisions of the Standards of Weights
and M~asures ( Packaged Commodities )
Rules, 1977 and A-I.2 ( see Appendix A for
information ). Any modification in these rules
in respect of tolerance on mass of cement
would apply automatically to this standard.

o.t This standard contains clause 10:1 which

permits the purchaser to use his option for
testing and clauses 5.5 and 8.3 which call for
agreement between the purchaser and the
manufacturer.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether' a
particular requirement of this standard is com ..
plied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis,
shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2.1960t. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be
the same as that of the specified value in this
standard .

be done by spreading out the sample to a depth
of 75 mm at a relative humidity of 50 to 80
percent for a total period of 7 days. The expansion of cements so aerated shall be not more
than 5 mm and 0'6 percent when tested by
