IS 12803 : 1989 Methods of analysis of hydraulic cement by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

1 Scope

1.1 This standard covers X-ray fluorescence spectrometricprocedure for chemical analysis of different hydraulic cements andclinkers.

1.2 This standard covers the determination of SiO₂, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, CaO, MgO, SO₃,Na₂O, K₂O, Mn₂O₃, P₂O₅, TiO₂, Cl and C₂O₃.

Note - This method determines the element concentration but theconvention of expressing composition in terms of oxides isfollowed.
