Standard Test Method for Thermogravimetric Analysis of Hydraulic Cement

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is intended for use in acquiring, analyzing, and reporting thermogravimetric data obtained from hydraulic cement powders.

5.2 This test method can be used to determine the calcium carbonate content of cements with interground limestone if the calcium carbonate content of the limestone is known.

5.3 This test method can be used to determine the calcium hydroxide content of hydraulic cement powder.

5.4 This test method can be used to determine the mass loss upon heating hydraulic cement powders within a specific temperature range.

5.5 This test method can be used for qualitative and quantitative characterization, under certain conditions, of various sulfate mineral components including calcium sulfate dihydrate, calcium sulfate hemihydrate, and syngenite.

5.6 Different kinds of thermogravimetric analyzers are available with different configurations and controllers. Therefore, the parameters described should be considered as guidelines. They may be altered to conform to the instrument manufacturer’s instructions, provided the changes are noted in the report.
