An arbitrary division has been made for the setting time of cement as initial setting time and final setting time.It is difficult to draw a rigid line between these two arbitrary divisions.For convenience,initial setting time is regarded as the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement,to the time that the paste starts losing its plasticity.The final setting time is the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement ,and the time when the paste has completely lost its plasticity and has attained sufficient firmness to resist certain definite pressure.
yes, if it is before the initial setting time...
It's the time from which cement starts the setting process after water is added.. Usually it is 30 min.. It can be delayed or advanced using chemicals..
From TechNet: Set the Same Initial and Maximum Size Setting the paging file's initial size and maximum size to the same value increases efficiency because the operating system does not need to expand the file during processing. Setting different values for initial and maximum size can contribute to disk fragmentation.
does this cement satisfy ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency
An alternate setting is one that is used when the initial setting is not in use or not available. The preferredis the initial but sometimes an alternate is used in its place.

Initial Setting time can be extended by adding retarders during mixing of concrete. Sugar solution is the easily available retarder.

+/- 5% of setting
Using a Vicat needle, the ASTM determined time for initial concrete setting is equal to or greater than 45 minutes. They set the final setting time is equal to or greter than 375 minutes.
