1. SCOPE

1.1. This specification covers ten types of portland cement as follows (Note 1):
1.1.1. Type I-For use when the special properties specified for any other type are not required;
1.1.2. Type IA-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type I, where air-entrainment is desired;
1.1.3. Type II-For general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance is desired;
1.1.4. Type IIA-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II, where air-entrainment is desired;
1.1.5. Type II(MH)-For general use, more especially when moderate heat of hydration and moderatesulfate resistance are desired.
1.1.6. Type II(MH)A-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II(MH), where air-entrainment isdesired.
1.1.7. Type III-For use when high early strength is desired;
1.1.8. Type IIIA-Air-entraining cement for the same use as Type III, where air-entrainment is desired;
1.1.9. Type IV-For use when low heat of hydration is desired; and
1.1.10. Type V-For use when high sulfate resistance is desired.
Note 1-Some cements are designated with a combined type classification, such as Type I/II,indicating that the cement meets the requirements of the indicated types and is being offered assuitable for use when either type is desired.
