This standard serves as a voluntary consensus guideline to establish quality control in the manufacture and application of Portland cement. It defines the allowable ingredients, including Portland cement clinker, calcium sulfate, water, limestone, and processing additions. The specification is issued under a "dual designation," meaning it provides requirements in both and inch-pound (imperial) units, which must be used independently to avoid non-conformance.
