This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 3183-2003 Masonry Cement and has the following main changes with respect to it.
——Requirements for masonry cement components are deleted (5.1 in 2003 edition);
——32.5 strength grade is added (see Chapter 5; Chapter 6 in 2003 edition);
——Limit and determination of chlorine ion, water-soluble chromium (VI) and radioactivity for cement are added (see 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.2.6, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.7);
——Type inspection is added (see 8.2.2 and 8.3.2).
This standard was proposed by China Building Materials Federation.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Cements of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 184).
The previous editions of this standard are as follows:
——GB/T 3183-1982, GB/T 3183-1997, GB/T 3183-2003.
Masonry Cement
1 Scope
This standard specifies requirements for masonry cement, including terms and definitions, composition and material, code and strength grade, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, end of manufacturing, delivery and acceptance as well as packaging, marking, transportation and storage, etc.
This standard is applicable to masonry cement required for masonry, plastering mortar and cushion course concrete.
