Various types of cement with IS codes

In this construction video tutorial, the renowned civil engineer Parag Pal provides brief demonstration on various types of cement containing IS codes and characteristics of cement grades as well as various usages of cement.

Categories of cement :-

OPC (ordinary Portland cement) – It’s IS code is 269-1976 and it is utilized for general construction.

Low heat cement – It’s IS code is 269-1976 and it is employed for hefty construction.

Rapid Hardening Cement – It’s IS code is 8041-1990 and it is applied for eliminating formwork rapidly.

Pozzolona Cement – It’s IS code is 1489 – 1991 and is it used as good resistance to chemical.

High Strength Cement – It’s IS code is 8112 – 1989 and it is used for pre-stressed concrete.

Hydrophobic cement – It’s IS code is 8043 – 1991 and it is used for water proof construction.

Grade of cement is based on the crushing strength of a cement mortar cube of size 70.71 mm containing surface area of 51 cm². It is tested in 28 days.
