Elemental Analysis of Cement

EDXRF is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of cement. It provides fast, non-destructive analysis of cement and its raw materials, clinker, and alternative fuels used at cement plants. With minimal sample preparation, you can obtain precise measurements, ensuring consistent quality and optimal performance in your cement production. Our EDXRF analyzers offer a cost-effective solution for quality control and process optimization, helping you meet industry standards like ASTM C114-18 and ISO 29581-2:2010. They are the perfect backup or supplement to your WDXRF system.
