Summary5.1 This test method covers direct determination of theproportion by mass of individual phases in cement or portland-cement clinker using quantitative X-ray

The following phases are covered by this standard:alite (tricalcium silicate, C3S), belite (dicalcium silicate C2S),aluminate (tricalcium aluminate, C3A), ferrite (tetracalciumaluminoferrite, C4AF), periclase (magnesium oxide, M), arcan-ite (potassium sulfate, KS!, gypsum

37、od does not specify details of the QXRDtest procedure. The user must demonstrate by analysis ofcertified reference materials that the particular analytical pro-cedure selected for this purpose provides acceptable levels ofprecision and bias. Two recommended procedures (the Ri-etveld approach and the

38、 traditional approach used to determinethe acceptable levels of precision and bias) are given inAppendix X1 and Appendix X2.6. Significance and Use6.1 This test method allows direct determination of theproportion of some individual phases in cement or portland-cement clinker. Thus it provides an alt

39、ernative to the indirectestimation of phase proportion using the equations in Specifi-cation C 150 (Annex A1).6.2 This test method assumes that the operator is qualified tooperate an X-ray diffractometer and to interpret X-ray diffrac-tion spectra.6.3 This test method may be used as part of a qualit

40、y controlprogram in cement manufacturing.6.4 This test method may be used in predicting propertiesand performance of hydrated cement and concrete that are afunction of phase composition.6.5 QXRD provides a bulk analysis (that is, the weightedaverage composition of several grams of material). Therefo

41、re,results may not agree precisely with results of microscopicalmethods.7. Apparatus7.1 X-Ray DiffractometerThe X-ray diffractometer allowsmeasurement of the X-ray diffraction pattern from which thecrystalline phases within the sample may be qualitativelyidentified and the proportion of each phase m

42、ay be quantita-tively determined. X-ray diffractometers are manufacturedcommercially and a number of instruments are available. Thesuitability of the diffractometer for this test method shall beestablished using the qualification procedure outlined in thistest method.8. Materials8.1 Standardization

43、PhasesThe use of standardizationphases is recommended for establishing the intensity ratio/mass ratio relationships when using the traditional quantitativemethod. These phases must usually be synthesized (12, 13).8.2 CRM ClinkerThe use of three CRM clinkers isrequired to qualify the QXRD procedure.8

44、.3 Internal StandardThe use of an internal standard isrecommended for the standardization approach. Suitable ma-terials include chemical reagents (see 8.4) or CRMs (seeAppendix X1).8.4 Reagent ChemicalsReagent grade chemicals, if usedeither as an internal standard or during chemical extraction ofcer

45、tain phases, shall meet the specifications of the Committeeon Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Societywhere such specifications are available.6Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the chemical issufficiently pure to permit its use without lessening the accu-racy

46、 of the determination.9. Hazards9.1 The importance of careful and safe operation of anX-ray diffractometer cannot be overemphasized. X-rays areparticularly hazardous. An X-ray diffractometer must be oper-ated safely to avoid serious injury or death. The X-rays aregenerated by high voltages, perhaps

47、as high as 55 kV peak,requiring care to avoid serious electric shock. Klug andAlexander (6) (pp. 5860) state, “The responsibility for safeoperation rests directly on the individual operator” (italics aretheirs).10. Sampling and Sample Preparation10.1 Take samples of cement in accordance with the app

48、li-cable provisions of Practice C 183. Take samples of portland-cement clinker so as to be representative of the material beingtested.10.2 Prepare samples as required for the specific analyticalprocedure (see Appendix X2).11.
