FOR E W 0 R D
0.1 ThIS Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 12 November I ~86, after the draft finalized by
the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Civil Engineering Division Council.
IS used by the petroleum industry for cementing gas ~
and oil-wells at high temperatures and pressures. Slurries of such cement
have to remain pumpable at these elevated temperatures and presosures for
a sufficient length of time and then harden fairly rapidly The two principal uses of oil-well cement are to cement the steel casing to the walls of the
well and to seal the porous formations which cont.un either gas or water
required for the Indian Oil Industry which IS expanding at a rapid pace,
and is intended to provide guidance to the cement producers for the manufacture of this cement.
0.3 This standard was published as an emergency standard in 1976 to
meet the immediate needs of the country, in response to a proposal received from the Department of Industrial Development, Government 01 India,
The Cement and Concrete Sectional Committ ee subsequently decided to
regularize thrs standard and this revision was taken up WIth this purpose
and also to incorporate a few modifications found necessary In the hght of
experience ~ained in ilS use. In tl ris revision four new classes of oil-well
cement A, B, C and D have also been incorporated and special class
cement has been deleted.
0.4 Mass of cement packed in bags and the tolerance requirements for the
mass of cement packed In bags ~hall be HI accorda'nce With the r eh-va nt
provisions of the Standards of Welghls and Measures ( Packaged Commodities ) Rules, 1977 and 8-1.2 ('e! Appendix B for mformauon j Anv
modification in these rules. In respect of tol ernrice on mass 01 c e-rne nt "\\ ou hl
apply automatrca llv to this vtandard .
IS : 8229 1986
0.5 In the preparation of this standard, due werghtage has been given to
the VIeWS of manufactures, users and technologists, and considerable assistance has been derived from API Spec 10 Specification for rnaterrals and
testing for well cements, second edition, June 1984, published by the
American Petroleum Institute
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers nine classes of oil-well cement used for the purpose of securing oil-well pipe casing with the surrounding earth and
rocks.
2. CLASSES
2.1 The cement shall be classified as follows:
a) Class A - ir.tended for use from surface to I 830 m depth, when
special properties are not required.
b) Class B - intended for use from surface to I 830 m depth, when
coriditrons require moderate to high SUlphate resistant type of the
cement.
----
ts 18229 I .
retarders to cover a wide range of well depth. and temperatures.
No additions other than calcium sulphate or water or both, shall
be interground or blended with the clinker during manufacture.
h) CIMs H - intended for use as a basic cement from surface to
2 440 m, when conditions require moderate sulphate resistant type
and can be used WIth accelerators and retarders to cover a wide
range of well depths and temperatures. No additions other than
calcium sulphate or water or both, shall be interground or blended
with the clinker during manufacture.
j) ClaJJ J - intended for use as manufactured from 3 660 to 4 IlIlO m
depth, when conditions require moderate to high sulphate reststant type under extremely high temperatures and pressures and
can be used with accelerators and retarders to cover a wide range
3. MANUFACTURE
3.1 Oil-well cement of classes A, B, C, D, E, F, C and H, shall be manufactured by gr indmg chnker consisting essentially of hydraulic calcium
silicates. No material other than one or more forms of calcnim sulphate shall
be mterground WIth the clu.kcr or blended With the ground chnker during
manufacture of the cement However, suitable set-modifying agents ( se
Note) may be interground or blended during manufacture of classes D, E
and F cement. Class J cement shall be manufactured 10 conform to the
physical requirements given in Table 2.
NOTE -
4. CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Oil-well cement of classes A, B, C, D, E, F, C and H, when tested in
accordance with IhL methods gIven 1D IS . 4032-19115", shall comply with
the chemical requirements given in Table I.
5. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1 The oil-well cement shall conform to the physical requirements given
III Table 2.
6. ADMIXTURES
6.1 Bentonite, barite and fly ash may be used as admixtures
cement.

from the interior faces of the assembled mould" giving particular attention
to the corners. The moulds shall be placed on a thinly greased plate. It is
necessary that grease be applied to the exterior contact line of the mould
and the base plate.
A-3.2.2 Placement rif Slw ry In Moulds - The slurry prepared in accordance with Al shall be placed in the prepared moulds in a layer of thickness equal to one-half of the mould depth and puddled 25 times per
specimen with a puddling rod. The slurry shall be placed in all the specimen compartments before commencing the puddling operation After
puddling the layer, the remaining- slurry shall be stirred 10 eliminate segregation, the moulds filled to over-flowing, and puddled as for the first layer.
After puddling, the excess slurry shall be struck off even with the top of
the mould, using a straight edge. Specimens m moulds which show
evidence of leaking shall be discarded A greased cover plate shall be
placed on top of the mould. For one determination, not less than three
specimens shall be employed.
A-3.2.3 Curl1lg Period - The curing penod is the elapsed time from
subjecting the spec.men to temperature m the curing vessel to testing the
specimen for strength.
A-3.2.3.1 For specimens cured at atmospheric. pressure, the curing
period starts when specimens are initially placed in the curing bath,
immediately after slurry has been placed in the moulds. The curing period
ends when specimens are tested for s trength.
A-3.2.3.2 For specimens cured at pressures above atmospheric, the
curing period starts WIth the initial application of pressure and temperature,
to be apphed immediately after specimens a, c sealed in the curing vessel.
The curing penod ends when specimens are tested for strength.
A-3.2.3.3 The recommended curing periods for test specimens are
8 and 24 hours. However, in case of Class J cement the curing periods are
12 and 24 hours. Additional test at 7 days may be necessary for Class J
cement. In some cases where waiting-on cement time data and other information are wanted, additional tests may be necessary.
A-3.2.4 Curl1lg Temperatures and Pressures
A-3.2.4.1 Cunng at temperatures below 82C - For curing at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 82C or less, one or more of the temperatures of27, 38, 49, 60, 71 and 82e are recommended. FOT curing at
pressures above atmospheric and temperature of noe or less, Schedule 48
given in Table 5, is recommended.
A-3.2.4.2 Curing at temperatures above 82C -

A-f. TEST FOR THICKENING TIME
A.f.O Thickening time test is designed to determine the length of time a
given cement slurry remains 10 fhnd state under given laboratory conditions, and thus serves as a method of comparing various cements.
A-f.I ApparatDs
A-f.l.1 Thukemng Tune Tester Unit - Pressurized consistometer ( Sit
Fig. 2 ). The apparatus consists essentially of a rotating cylindrical slurry
container equipped with a stationary paddle assembly, all enclosed in a
pressure chamber capable of withstanding the pressures and temperatures
prescribed in Table 7. The space between the slurry container and the
walls of the pressure container shall be completely filled wiih white mineral
oil, Grade 95 N}' ( National Formulary) or equivalent. A heating element
capable of rarsing the temperature of this oil-bath at the rate of at least
3C per minute IS provided Thermocouples are provided for determining
the temperature of the oil-bath and also that of the cement slurry. The
consistency of the cement slurry i, indrcated by the amount of d-forrnation of a standardized corl-sprurg connecting the stirring paddle and a
stationary head. The stirr Illg paddle and all metal parts of the slurry container exposed to the slurry are made of corrosion-resistant alloys
A-f.l.'l Stop Watch
A-4.2 Calibration of Thickening Time Tester Unit - Calibration of
the potentiometer mechanism of the pressurized consistometer shall be done
as prescribed far atmospheric pressure consistorneter in A-2.2. The thermocouples shall be calibrated at frequent intervals to ensure the accuracy of
temperature measu rernents
A.....3 Procedure
A.....3.1 Operal,-nR Instructions - Operating instructions as furnished by
the manufacturer shall be followed.
A-4.3.2 Flillng of Apparatus - The slurry prepared m accordance with
