Dear Electron1539,

Oilwell cement is required to meet the API Specifications 10-A which requires following tests;

Chemical analysis to determine:

MgO, SO₃, Loss On Ignition, Insoluble Residue, Total alkalies as Na₂O, C₃S and C₃A

Physical Tests:

Mix Water as % mass fraction of cement

Fineness either by Turbidimeter or Air Permeability

Free Fluid Content

Compressive strength at specified temperatures and pressures

Consistency

Pressure Temperature Thickening Time Test

Equipment required:

Electronic balance

Apparatus to determine fineness (Blaine or Turbidimeter)

Oven

Water bath

Water bath with agitator

Compressive strength testing machine with accessories

Atmospheric consistometer

Pressurized consistometer

Constant speed mixer
