This specification covers ten types of portland cement as follows (Note 1):
- Type I – For use when the special properties specified for any other type are not required;
- Type IA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type I, where air-entrainment is desired;
- Type II – For general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance is desired;
- Type IIA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II, where air-entrainment is desired;
- Type II(MH) – For general use, more especially when moderate heat of hydration and moderatesulfate resistance are desired.
- Type II(MH)A – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II(MH), where air-entrainment isdesired.
- Type III – For use when high early strength is desired;
- Type IIIA – Air-entraining cement for the same use as Type III, where air-entrainment is desired;
- Type IV – For use when low heat of hydration is desired; and
- Type V – For use when high sulfate resistance is desired.
