BS PD CEN/TR 17365:2019

This document describes the analytical procedures used to determine the content of C₃A in the clinker starting from a chemical analysis on cement. The method can be applied to CEM type I and IV for thedetermination of the requirement of C₃A, as defined on EN 197-1.

This document describes two methods, traditional wet and XRF analysis (EN 196-2), which can be considered to be equivalent, in the scope of this CEN/TR 17365, for the determination of Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ and SO₃.

The same methods are described in EN 196-2, but for the scope of this document, the X-ray fluorescence(XRF) is the preferred method to be used for the determination of Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ and SO₃.Cross References:EN 196-2ISO 385EN 196-7ISO 835EN 197-1
