There are five standardized types of Portland cement, classified by the ASTM C150 standard, all best suited for certain applications. This article explains how to determine sulfur content in those different types of Portland cement.
Microplastics are ubiquitous in the world and in the news, but little is understood about them. Due to their scale, laboratories around the world are still actively researching their effects on the world and our
health.
For laboratories all around the world, and especially in light of the current pandemic, cleaning the ion source of lab instruments is a huge cost that needs to be taken into account. LECO presents the StayClean® ion source that allows researchers to drastically cut those costs.
Cement is easily one of the most widely used materials in construction all over the world. Although the base composition is fairly simple, it is composed of many different parts -lime, silica, alumina, and moremaking
it critical for the construction industry to be able to understand what is in the cement they use.
The quality of coal, just as every other type of fuel, plays a critical part in its performance. A key metric to determine the quality of coal is the amount of volatile matter it contains.
With the recent rise in the price of wood, engineered wood products such as MDF have become economical solutions for many homes. This article explains how to achieve carbon determination in adhesives used for such products.
Thanks to its basic, fairly simple composite, concrete is one of the most popular options in the construction industry - but there are many different kind of concretes, suited for different applications.
