This practice covers procedures for sampling and for the amount of testing of hydraulic cement after it has been manufactured and is ready to be offered for sale. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be the exact equivalents; therefore@ each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard. Values in SI units [or inch-pound units] shall be obtained by measurement in SI units [or inch-pound units] or by appropriate conversion@ using the Rules for Conversion and Rounding given in ASTM Standard IEEE/ASTM SI10. Values are stated in only SI units when inch-pound units are not used in practice. The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered requirements of the standard. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns@ if any@ associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
