Methods of testing cement - Part 8: Heat of hydration - Solution method
This European Standard describes a method of determining the heat of hydration of cements by means of solution calorimetry, also known as the solution method. The heat of hydration is expressed in joules per gram of cement.
This standard is applicable to cements and hydraulic binders whatever their chemical composition.
NOTE 1 Another procedure, called the semi-adiabatic method, is described in prEN 196-9. Either procedure can be used independently.
NOTE 2 It has been demonstrated that the best correlation between the two methods is obtained at 7 days for the solution method compared with 41 h for the semi-adiabatic method (prEN 196-9).
Prüfverfahren für Zement - Teil 8: Hydratationswärme - Lösungsverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Messung der Hydratationswärme von Zementen mit Hilfe eines Lösungskalorimeters, des sogenannten Lösungsverfahrens. Ein anderes Verfahren, das sogenannte teiladiabatische Verfahren, ist in einer anderen Norm, EN 196-9 beschrieben. Beide Verfahren dürfen unabhängig voneinander angewandt werden. Die ermittierte Wärmemenge ist in Joule je Gramm des Zements angegeben. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für alle hydraulische Bindemittel, ungeachtet ihrer chemischen Zusammensetzung.
Méthodes d'essais des ciments - Partie 8: Chaleur d'hydratation - Méthode par dissolution
La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode de mesure de la chaleur d'hydratation des ciments par calorimétrie de dissolution, appelée méthode par dissolution. La chaleur d'hydratation est exprimée en joules par gramme de ciment.
La présente norme s'applique aux ciments et aux liants hydrauliques quelle que soit leur composition chimique.
NOTE 1 Une autre méthode, dite méthode semi-adiabatique, est décrite dans la norme EN 196-9. Les deux méthodes peuvent être utilisées indépendamment.
NOTE 2 Il a été démontré que la meilleure corrélation entre les deux méthodes est obtenue en comparant les valeurs à 7 j par la méthode par dissolution (EN 196-8) et à 41 h par la méthode semi-adiabatique (EN 196-9).
