GB/T 200-2017 in English

ChinaStandards.net is in charge of this English translation. In case of any doubt about the English translation, the Chinese original shall be considered authoritative.

This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This standard replaces GB/T 200-2003 Moderate Heat Portland Cement, Low Heat Portland Cement, Low Heat Portland Slag Cement, and the following main changes have been made with respect to GB/T 200-2003:

——The standard name is modified to "Moderate-heat Portland Cement, Low-heat Portland Cement";

——This standard is modified from compulsory standard into voluntary standard;

——The type of "low-heat portland slag cement" is cancelled;

——In the "composition of low-heat portland slag cement", the industrial by-product gypsum and Category A natural gypsum in "gypsum", and the "grinding aid" are cancelled (see Chapter 4; 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5 in 2003 edition);

——Category M natural gypsum is added (see 4.3; 4.4 in 2003 edition);

——Low-heat portland cement with strength grade of 32.5 is added (see Chapter 5);

——Technical requirements for insoluble residue in cement are added (see 6.1.4);

——Technical requirements for tricalcium aluminate, tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate in cement are added as selective indexes (see 6.3);

——Technical requirement for 90d compressive strength of low-heat portland cement is added as a type inspection item (see 6.4.5);

——The calculation formulae of mineral composition are modified (see Annex A; and 4.2.3 in 2003 edition).

This standard was proposed by China Building Materials Federation.

This standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee on Cement of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 184).

The previous editions of this standard are as follows:

——GB 200-1963, GB 200-1980, GB 200-1989 and GB/T 200-2003.


Moderate-heat Portland Cement, Low-heat Portland Cement

1 Scope

This standard specifies the terms and definitions, composition and materials, code and strength grade, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, exfactory, delivery and acceptance, and packaging, marking, transportation and storage of moderate-heat portland cement (hereafter referred to as moderate-heat cement) and low-heat portland cement (hereafter referred to as low-heat cement).

This standard is applicable to the production and application of moderate-heat cement and low-heat cement.
