FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Cement and
Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
In India, Portland cement clinker has been regularly supplied to various independent units ranging from large
grinding stations to mini cement plants to produce all common varieties of cement used in construction. In view
of global competitiveness of Indian cement manufacturing, clinker is also exported to different countries.
At present, the concerned Indian Standard specifications for cement, for quality requirements of clinker, refer to
the chemical requirements prescribed for cement in the Indian Standard specifications for ordinary Portland
cement. In view of the increased use of clinker as tradable commodity and in order to provide a common standard
reference for this material, these specifications are laid down to cover requirements of clinker as a separate
standard.
The composition of the technical committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
This standard lays down minimum requirements expected from clinker to the used for manufacture of various
types and grades of cements. However, depending upon the special intended requirements of a particular type or
grade of cement, the manufacturer may design for appropriate additional requirements of clinker, if so desired
subject to compliance of the minimum requirements specified in this standard.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is compiled with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that specified value in this standard.

4 MANUFACTURE
Portland cement clinker consisting mainly of calcium
silicates, aluminates and ferrites shall be obtained by
heating to incipient fusion, a pre-determined and
homogenous mixture of materials principally
SUPPLIED BY BOOK SUPPLY BUREAU UNDER THE LICENSE FROM BIS FOR INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - MANDI ON 18/03/2021 20:33:31 (14.139.34.2) VALID UPTO31/03/2021
consisting of lime (CaO), and silica (SiO2) with smaller
proportions of alumina (Al2O3) and iron oxide (Fe2O3).
5 CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Portland cement clinker shall conform to the
chemical requirements given in Table 1, when tested
in accordance with the methods given in IS 4032. For
the purpose, the representative clinker shall be ground
to pass 150 μm IS sieve and tested.
6 PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
6.1 For checking its conformity, the cement produced
out of the clinker shall conform to the requirements
given in Table 2. For the purpose, the clinker shall be
ground to a fineness of 220 ± 25 m2/kg [when tested
as per IS 4031 (Part 2)] with appropriate quantity of
gypsum to obtain cement having not more than 3.5
percent SO3.
6.2 In order to regulate the quality of clinker supplied in
terms of its particle size, the purchaser and the supplier
may mutually decide the accepted particle size
distribution of clinker. As a general guidance, the particle
size distribution given in Table 3 may be followed.
7 TRANSPORTATION OF CLINKER
7.1 Portland cement clinker shall be supplied duly
covered in trucks or suitable railway wagons or in ships
or barges of suitable capacity. The supplier and the
purchaser shall ensure that clinker is transported in
environmental friendly manner minimizing dust
pollution and spillage of clinker.
7.2 For exports, clinker shall be supplied in suitable
vessels with covered top to avoid any contact with
moisture or sea water, supplier shall ensure that clinker
is transported to water front or loading terminals in
environmentally friendly manner.
8 STORAGE
Portland cement clinker shall be stored in such a
manner as to permit easy access for proper inspection
and to protect it from deterioration during storage. It
shall be stored in proper storage area to protect it from
entry of moisture or any other contamination; and can
be stored in covered gantry or silo. If stored in an open
area, it shall be ensured to place it on PCC floor and
covered with tarpaulin to avoid loss of quality.

NOTES
1 The tricalcium silicate (C3S), tricalcium aluminate (C3A) and dicalcium silicate (C2S) contents are calculated by the formulae:
C3S = 4.07 (CaO-Free CaO) - 7.60(SiO2) - 6.72(Al2O3) - 1.43(Fe2O3)
C3A = 2.65 (Al2O3) - 1.69 (Fe2O3)
C2S = 2.87 (SiO2) - 0.75 (C3S)
2 The requirement of chloride content in the cements to be used for prestressed concrete structure shall be 0.05 percent by mass, maximum.
3 Alkali-aggregate reactions have been noticed in aggregates in some parts of the country. On large and important jobs where concrete is
likely to be exposed to humid atmosphere or wetting action, it is advisable that the aggregate be tested for alkali-aggregate reaction. In
the case of reactive aggregates, the use of cement with alkali content below 0.6 percent expressed as sodium oxide (Na2O) that is,
equivalent alkalies (Na2O+0.658 K2O), is recommended. Where, however, such cements are not available, use of alternative means
may be resorted to for which a reference may be made to 8.2.5.4 of IS 456. If so desired by the purchaser, the manufacturer shall carry
out test on Portland cement clinker for alkali content and report the result.
