Methods of testing cement - Part 9: Heat of hydration - Semi-adiabatic method
This European Standard describes a method of measuring the heat of hydration of cements by means of semi-adiabatic calorimetry, also known as the Langavant method. The aim of the test is the continuous measurement of the heat of hydration of cement during the first few days. The heat of hydration is expressed in joules per gram of cement.
This standard is applicable to all cements and hydraulic binders, whatever their chemical composition, with the exception of quick-setting cements.
NOTE 1 An alternative procedure, called the solution method, is described in EN 196-8. Either procedure can be used independently.
NOTE 2 It has been demonstrated that the best correlation between the two methods is obtained at 41 h for the semi-adiabatic method (EN 196-9) compared with seven days for the heat of solution method (EN 196-8).

Overview
EN 196-9:2010 - Methods of testing cement - Part 9: Heat of hydration - Semi-adiabatic method describes a standardized laboratory procedure to measure the heat of hydration of cements and hydraulic binders using semi-adiabatic calorimetry (the Langavant method). The test provides a continuous record of heat released during the first days after mixing and expresses results in joules per gram (J/g) of cement. The standard applies to all cements and hydraulic binders except quick-setting cements.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Principle: Heat emitted by a freshly mixed mortar sample is monitored in a semi-adiabatic calorimeter; the heat of hydration equals heat accumulated in the calorimeter plus heat lost to the ambient atmosphere.
- Apparatus: Details for a semi-adiabatic calorimeter (Dewar-style insulated flask), reference calorimeter, insulated stopper, platinum resistance thermometers, temperature recording equipment, and a disposable mortar box (~800 cm³).
- Calibration: Calorimeter calibration and performance limits are specified (coefficient of total heat loss ≤ 100 J·h⁻¹·K⁻¹ for a 20 K rise). Calibration procedures are given in Annex A.
- Mortar composition and mixing: Test mortar batch mass and proportions are specified (total mass 1 575 ± 1 g comprising 360 g cement, 1 080 g standard sand, 180 g distilled or deionised water) and mixing timing is defined to limit thermal loss.
- Laboratory conditions: Ambient and test-room temperature control requirements (e.g., mixing room (20 ± 2) °C; test room 20.0 ± 1.0 °C) and instrument placement guidance (reference calorimeter for up to six test calorimeters).
- Measurement and calculation: Continuous temperature recording, calculation of heat accumulated, correction for heat losses, and expression of results in J/g. Precision, repeatability, and reproducibility information are included.
- Limits and notes: Test sample temperature should not exceed 75 °C. EN 196-9 provides correlation guidance with the solution method (EN 196-8), noting best correlation at 41 h for semi-adiabatic vs 7 days for solution.
Applications and Users
EN 196-9:2010 is used for:
- Quality control in cement production (monitoring early hydration heat for process control).
- R&D and product development of cements and blended hydraulic binders (evaluating reaction kinetics).
- Specification and compliance testing for builders, concrete producers, and standards laboratories.
- Academic and materials research into hydration behavior and thermal effects in concrete. Typical users: cement manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, construction materials engineers, research institutions, and conformity assessment bodies.

If the conductors of the electrical resistor are made of copper they shall have a sectional area not greater than 0,25 mm2 in the part which passes through the stopper. If they are made of another metal the total thermal resistance per centimetre of conductor shall be greater than 0,10 K⋅mW-1 (thermal resistance equivalent to that of a copper conductor with a sectional area of 0,25 mm2 and 1 cm in length). The thermal output of the thermometer shall not exceed 3 mW. Direct current supply, which constitutes a power input, shall be avoided if the thermal output exceeds 0,2 mW. It is advisable to ensure the accuracy of the overall temperature measuring and recording equipment. The temperature of the test sample shall be measured to an accuracy of ± 0,3 °C. Where the calorimeter is calibrated in situ with the conductors used for the tests of heat of hydration, the total sectional area of the conductors will be a maximum of 0,80 mm2 (four wires 0,5 mm in diameter), but shall be such that the coefficient of heat loss of the calorimeter is less than 100 J⋅h-1⋅K-1 for a temperature rise of 20 K (see A.3.1.1). The protective sheath of these conductors shall be made of a material having a low thermal conductivity. 4.4 Mortar box, consisting of a cylindrical container fitted with a cover, having a volume of approximately 800 cm3, designed to contain the sample of mortar under test. The mortar box, discarded after each test, shall be impermeable to water vapour. This shall be checked in use by weighing the mortar box after each test (see 5.2.3). It shall be made of electrically counter welded tin plate of nominal thickness 0,3 mm; have a diameter of approximately 80 mm and a height of approximately 165 mm. Its height shall be designed to provide an air space of approximately 10 mm between the top of the mortar box and the stopper. The lid of the mortar box shall be fitted with a central thermometer pocket in the form of a cylindrical pipe, closed at its base. The internal diameter of the pocket shall be slightly greater than that of the thermometer. Its length shall be approximately 100 mm to 120 mm and enable it to extend to the centre of the test sample. 4.5 Temperature recording apparatus, capable of recording the measurements taken by each thermometer. 4.6 Mortar mixing apparatus, conforming to EN 196-1. 5 Determination of the heat of hydration 5.1 Laboratory The laboratory where the mortar is mixed shall be maintained at a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C. The room where the test is carried out shall be maintained at a temperature of (20,0 ± 1,0) °C. The measured temperature of the reference calorimeter shall be considered to be the ambient temperature and shall be maintained during the test within ± 0,5 °C. The distance between each of the calorimeters shall be approximately 120 mm. The velocity of the ventilation air around the calorimeters shall be less than 0,5 m⋅s-1. When several tests are being carried out simultaneously, at least one reference calorimeter shall be provided for every six test calorimeters; where several test calorimeters are used with one reference calorimeter, a hexagonal arrangement shall be used with the reference calorimeter in the centre.
