This specification covers ten types of portland cement as follows:

1. Type I – For general use, when the special properties specified for any other type are not required;
2. Type IA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type I, where air entrainment is desired;
3. Type II – For general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance is desired;
4. Type IIA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II, where air entrainment is desired;
5. Type II(MH) – For general use, more especially when moderate heat of hydration and moderate sulfate resistance are desired.
6. Type II(MH)A – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II(MH), where air entrainment is desired
7. Type III – For use when high early strength is desired
8. Type IIIA – Air-entraining cement for the same use as Type III, where air entrainment is desired
9. Type IV – For use when low heat of hydration is desired
10. Type V – For use when high sulfate resistance is desired
