Isothermal Calorimetry

Isothermal calorimetry is sensitive & versatile tool for studying the hydration process of cement.

• The shape of the heat flow vs time curve reflects the hydration process of cement
• The integrated heat flow time curve i.e the energy evolved is related to the extent of hydration
• Excellent experimental reproducibility

Typical cement Applications for Isothermal Calorimetry:

• Setting Time & Premature stiffening
• Effect of Contaminations
• Effect of Admixtures
• Temperature Dependency of Cement Hydration
• Quality Control
