Methods of Testing Cement. Heat of Hydration. Solution Method
Also Known As:
This European Standard outlines a procedure for determining the heat of hydration in cements through the use of solution calorimetry. Heat of hydration refers to the energy released during the chemical reaction between cement and water, and it is measured in joules per gram of cement. This standard is applicable to cements and hydraulic binders of any chemical composition.
The standard also notes that there is an alternative method described in EN 196-9, called the semi-adiabatic method, which can be used independently. However, it is mentioned that the best correlation between the two methods is obtained at seven days for the solution method, compared to 41 hours for the semi-adiabatic method. This provides guidance on the preferred time periods for conducting the heat of hydration testing using each respective method.
