ASTM C1875 Major and Minor Elements in Aqueous Pore Solutions of Cement Pastes, Paired Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM C1875 testing. This application describes a procedure for the collection, sample preparation and analysis of aqueous pore solutions from cementitious materials at different hydration times when analyzed by ICP-OES for the six most common soluble elements for aluminum, calcium, potassium, silicon, sodium and sulfur.

The chemical composition of the liquid in cementitious pastes is an important indicator of solid component reactivity early on and is influenced by the content and reaction rate of readily soluble alkaline components, lime and other soluble phases.

Monitoring solution composition over time can provide valuable diagnostic information about cement quality and reactivity to support other sources of characterization data.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
