Portland Cement Types and Specifications
The distinct types of portland cement are defined through ASTM C150-22: Standard Specification for Portland Cement, which distinguishes them by purpose. The standard types of portland cement are: Type I – for general purpose. Type IA – same as Type I, but when air entrainment is desired. Type II – for moderate sulfate resistance.
