	Setting Time	10
	Setting Time (Temperature Rise Method)	11
	Compressive Strength	12
	Density	13

1.3The values regarded as standard are either in inch-pound units or SI (metric). The values stated first shall be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) are not requirements of the standard.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific precautionary statement, see X1.2.1.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
