Intensify the clinker grinding allowed supplementation does not impair the quality of the cement in an amount of not more than 0.5% by weight of cement. Initial setting time of cement should occur no earlier than 1.5 hours, and the end - no later than 10 hours from the start of mixing.

OPC:(Ordinary Portland cement)
Initial setting time = 30 min.
Final setting time = 10 hours.

LPC:(Lime pozzolana cement)
Initial setting time= 120 min (2 hours).
Final setting time = 6 hours.

High alumina cement:
Initial setting time= 3.5 hours.
Final setting time= 5 hours.

Portland Pozzolana cement and Asbestos cement have less C3A content as compare to Portland cement. So its setting time between 90 min to 120 min.

For Portland cement: Initial setting time=30 minutes n final setting time=10hours for LP40 initial=3hrs final=1day ie 24hrs For cement asbestos initial=1 and half hour ie 90 minutes.
