Isothermal calorimetry: a standard measurement method of cement hydration kinetics

The article considers the possibilities and effectiveness of application of the calorimetric analysis method for studying the technological process characteristics of cement, concrete mix and concrete. Calorimetric data formed the basis of the thermokinetic classification of hardening processes suggested by the authors. It is noted that the accumulated data on isometric calorimetry made it possible to develop a standard research technique fixed in ASTM C1679-08.
