Construction Materials

The final properties of the concrete body are determined by a number of properties. This note addresses the effects of particle size in cement manufacturing and in the final product.

This application note explains why particle size distribution is critical and how HORIBA laser diffraction analyzers can be used to measure the particle size distribution of drilling fluids.

This application note describes how the CAMSIZER XT has been successfully implemented to determine the size and shape of several building materials.

Recently laser diffraction has been deployed in cement laboratories to perform particle size analysis. Laser diffraction has the advantage of being quick, easy, and reproducible. It also provides a more complete description of the particle size distribution.
