A The amount retained on the 45 µm (No. 325) sieve, specific surface by air permeability apparatus, m2/kg, and density, g/cm3, shall be reported on all mill test reports requested under 15.4.
B The time of setting of cements containing a user-requested accelerating or retarding functional addition need not meet the limits of this table, but shall be stated by the manufacturer.
C The applicable minimum compressive strength requirements for Types IP, IS, IT, and IC are determined by the targeted pozzolan and slag contents of the cement. Limits on limestone, pozzolan, and slag contents of Type IT and Type IC cements shall conform to Table 2.
