8: Schematic representation of the Blaine apparatus for determining the specific surface of cement by the air-permeability method [Orchard 19nb]. 42 Concrete Materials The accepted standard methods in the United States are the Wagner turbidimeter method [ASTM C 115-861, air-permeability and the Blaine method [ASTM C 204-841. The Wagner turbidimeter determines the rate of settlement of the cement particles suspended in a fluid by measuring photoelectrically the change in A sample of portland cement is dispersed turbidity.
The portland cement constituent that contains the of this is most CaO is the C3S. 3%. 80 SiO2. 8Si0, however, the portland In reality, contains Al2O3, Fe203, and sulfate capable to bond lime. Since cement also which are all C4AF contains the most the lime, let us assume for sake of the calculation of the theoretical upper limit of the lime content in a clinker that (a) all the alumina and ferrite are in this form; and (b) C4AF = C2A + C2F. 8SiO2 This is the denominator factor in Eq. 3. 65 Al203 and Fe203 together the Therefore, Fe203.
