Particle size analysis of cement

The article considers the methodology and equipment for determination of the size of cement particles by the laser diffraction method.
It is shown that the laser diffraction method is applicable for analysis of cement in the form of both dry powder and suspension dispersed in alcohol.
The article provides a description of the devices and their characteristics, as well as examples of determination of the size of cement particles in the above-mentioned two media.
