Cement analysis requirements

The analytical requirements in cement QC laboratories demand elemental analysis for determination of CaO, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, MgO, SO₃, K₂O, Na₂O, Cl, etc. in raw meal, clinker and cement. Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) is the technique of choice for these determinations because it is fast and requires only a simple and easy sample preparation, i.e grinding and pressing.

The compact power of the ARL OPTIM’X provides high precision for analysis of cement related materials.
