ISO 29582-2:2009 PDF Download

ISO 29582-2:2009 standard focuses on the determination of the heat of hydration of cement using the semi-adiabatic method. The purpose of this method is to measure the heat generated during the hydration process of cement over a specific period, typically the first few days. The heat of hydration is expressed in joules per gram of cement.

This standard is applicable to all types of cements and hydraulic binders, regardless of their chemical composition. However, it does not apply to quick-setting cements.

The semi-adiabatic calorimetry, also known as the Langavant method, is used to continuously monitor and measure the heat of hydration. This method enables researchers to assess the intensity and rate of heat generated by cement hydration, which is important in understanding the overall performance and behavior of various cement formulations.
