Classes of Cement (API Classification)

Class A, 0-6,000 ft
Class B, 0-6,000 ft
Class C, 0-6,000 ft
Class D, 6,000-10,000 ft
Class E, 10,000-14,000 ft
Class F, 10,000-16,000 ft
Class G, 0-8,000 ft
Class H, 0-8,000 ft
Class J, 12,000-16,000 ft
Composition of API Classes of Cement
: Tricalcium silicate, the major contributor to strength, especially

during the first 28 days of curing.
: Dicalcium silicate, hydrates very slowly, contributes mainly to

long-term strength.
: Tricalcium aluminate, hydrates very rapidly, produces most of

the heat of hydration during first few days, is attacked readily by water
containing sulfates.
: Tetracalcium aluminoferrite, only minor effects on the physical

properties of the cement.
