    Study Notes

    • This specification outlines requirements and recommendations for six classes of well cements and two classes of composite well cements.
    • Well cement classes A, B, C, and D are obtained by grinding Portland cement clinker with interground or blended calcium sulfate (CaSO4) as an additive. Processing additives and set-modifying agents can be used.
    • Composite well cement classes K and L are obtained by intergrinding Portland cement clinker with composite constituents or by blending separately produced Portland cement with separately processed composite constituents.
    • Metric SI and US customary units are used in this document, with conversions rounded for ease of use.
    • API Specification 13A and ASTM C109/C109M, as well as other referenced documents, are indispensable for the application of this specification. They provide standards for testing compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars and chemical analysis of hydraulic cement.
