3 Doc: CED 2 (10875) October 2016 BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS DRAFT FOR COMMENTS ONLY (Not to be reproduced without the permission of BIS or used as an Indian Standard) Draft Indian Standard GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG SPECIFICATION ICS No Cement and Concrete Last date for Receipt of Sectional Committee, CED 2 Comments: 18 December 2016 FOREWORD (Formal Clauses of the foreword will be added later) This Indian Standard specification is an extension of IS12089 specification for granulated blast furnace slag generated by steel industries while producing pig iron. Molten slag produced during Pig Iron production through blast furnace, is very rapidly cooled, this leads to formation of granulated slag a largely amorphous reactive component. This reactive matter is exploited in presence of lime facilitated by Portland cement. Granulated slag mostly contains silicates and aluminates of lime and other basis. Raw slag contains moisture and it is hard material with granular shape. It needs to be dried and ground to adequate fineness to be utilised as cementitious material. The processed form of granulated slag is Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag or more commonly known as GGBS GGBS can be used to produce Portland Slag Cement conforming to IS 455 through blending with ground Portland cement clinker at cement factory. It can also be used as a separate material, which is added along with Portland cement in desired proportions at construction site in accordance with IS 456: 2000.

4 In developed countries GGBS has been extensively used as mineral admixture along with Portland cement in concrete to enhanced durability in aggressive environments This Indian Standard is framed to guide customer on technical specifications of GGBS for its use as mineral admixture to concrete. This specification is also in line with IS 456:2000 Doc: CED 2 (10875) October 2016 Draft Indian Standard GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG SPECIFICATION 1 SCOPE This Indian standard covers manufacturing, chemical and physical specifications, storage and packing of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) to use as mineral admixture along with Portland cement as a cemetitious component in concrete, mortar and grout. 2 MANUFACTURING GGBS shall be manufactured through drying and grinding of granulated blast furnace slag conforming to IS GGBS shall not contain more than 1 percent of additives which are not harmful, used for the purpose of improving surface characteristics of GGBS 3 COMPOSITION 3.1 Since it is derived from the parent material, granulated slag, and its characteristics are similar to those mentioned in IS GGBS when tested in accordance with IS 4032, shall comply with the requirement as mentioned in Table 1 Table 1-- Chemical Requirement of GGBS (Clause 3.1) Constituent Percent, max Manganese Oxide, MnO 5.5 Magnesium Oxide, MgO 17.0 Sulphide Sulphur 2.0 Sulphite content 3.0 Insoluble residue 3.0 Chloride content 0.1 Loss on ignition 3.0 Moisture Content 1.0

The compressive strength of blend determined as per IS 4031 part 6 shall not be less than 22 MPa at 7days and not less than 33 MPa at 28 days. The same blend is subjected to determination of setting time and soundness in accordance with IS 4031 part 5 and part 3 respectively. 5 PHYSICAL CHARATERISTICES 5.1 The physical characteristics of GGBS shall comply with the requirement of Table 2. Table 2 -- Physical requirement of GGBS (Clause 5.1) Constituent Fineness, m 2 /kg ( As per IS 4031 part 2 ) Soundness LeChatlier, mm ( As per IS 4031, part 3 ) Setting Time, Initial ( As per IS 4031, part 5 ) Min/Max 320 min 10 max Not less than IST of control OPC

SAI to be determined as x PACKING 6.1 The slag shall be packed in bags, jute sacking bag conforming to Woven HDPE conforming to IS 11653, multi wall paper conforming to IS11761or any other suitable bag bearing the manufacturer s name or his registered trade-mark, if any. The words Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag, and the number of bags (net mass) to the tonne or the nominal average net mass of the slag shall be legibly and indelibly marked on each bag. Bags shall be in good condition at the time of inspection Similar information shall be provided in the delivery advices accompanying the shipment of packed or bulk slag. 6.2 The average net mass of slag per bag shall be 50 kg or as mutually agreed between the purchaser and the seller. It may also be supplied in loose form in jumbo bags or bulk containers. In case of supply in bulk form/ in bags, each consignment shall carry test certificate The tolerance on the mass of ultrafine slag in each bag or consignment shall be as mutually agreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier. 6.3 Supplies of slag in bulk may be made by arrangement between the purchaser and the supplier (manufacturer or stockist). Note A single bag or container containing 1000 kg and more, net mass of slag shall be considered as the bulk supply of slag. Supplies of slag may also be made in intermediate containers, for example, drums of 299 kg, by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 6.4 When the slag is intended for export and if the purchaser so requires, packing of slag may be done in bags or in drums with net quantity of slag per bag or drum as agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
