Understand Portland cement standards from the source for precise blending, packaging, and testing.
This authoritative NBS Special Publication details the certified chemical composition and handling of Portland cement reference materials, with practical results from homogeneous blending, packaging trials, and analytical methods.
This edition covers the preparation, analysis, and certification process behind SRMs used to ensure accuracy in cement measurements. It explains how different blending methods affected sample uniformity and what packaging approaches best protect cement samples from moisture and CO2 during testing and storage. You’ll also find evaluated analytical techniques and interferences to improve cement analyses in real-world labs.
- How blending methods impact sample homogeneity and measurement accuracy
- Insights on packaging materials and their effect on cement Samples
- Detailed experimental results for chemical components like CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, and more
- Guidance on analytical methods, interferences, and when to use instrumental techniques
Ideal for researchers, standards labs, and professionals who rely on precise cement reference materials and certification data to support quality control and calibration.
