EVALUATION OF THE INITIAL VOLUME STABILITY OF CURRENT CEMENTS
Abstract
In the context of the pressure to reduce the production of CO2 emissions in cement manufacturing, cement plants are significantly changing their product portfolios. Changes in the composition of cement products also lead to changes in their properties. This paper focuses on the monitoring and non-standard evaluation of initial volume stability. Several different types of currently used cements produced in various cement plants in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2022 and 2023 were tested using the -initial volume stability test-. The test results included in this article describe defects forming in the test samples at the initial stage of the cement setting and hardening. The test can be used to observe the possible differences in the properties of the same cement types from different sources, as well as the variability in the properties of one cement type within a production batch.
