Total Sulfur and Carbon Determination in Cement and Raw Materials

Don’t miss the first installment of our four-part series on the chemical analysis of construction materials. This upcoming webinar features Lloyd Allen, retired Director of the Technical Services Laboratory, who returns to provide a comprehensive guide on total sulfur and carbon determination in Cement Materials and their precursors. You will discover how to effectively utilize the LECO SC832 series to analyze diverse matrices, such as limestone, fly ash, and gypsum, to ensure your products meet the rigorous chemical composition requirements of ASTM C150.

This session will dive into the technical advantages of different instrument configurations, such as the dual-range sulfur detector and high-temperature furnace options. Attendees will learn why resistance furnaces are the superior choice for handling moisture-rich or organic-heavy samples like hydrated lime and clay. We will also showcase 3 critical data comparisons between standard combustion (with accelerators) and high-temperature analysis to help you optimize sample throughput and precision in your laboratory
