Isothermal Conduction Calorimetry

In this technique, the heat of hydration of cement is directly measured by monitoring the heat flow from the specimen when both the specimen and the surrounding environment are maintained at approximately isothermal conditions. Thermopiles are often used to convert the thermal flux into a voltage which can be continuously monitored. Thus, the cells are often calibrated electrically. Sensitivity limitations usually limit this measurement to about 7 days duration, as beyond this point, the signal becomes virtually indistinguishable from its background level. One difficulty lies in capturing the heat released during the initial mixing (wetting) of the cement and water. Calorimeters have been designed with internal mixing units to attempt to capture the complete heat signature curve.

Adiabatic or Semi-Adiabatic Calorimetry

In this method, the specimen chamber is usually well-insulated in an attempt to attain adiabatic (no heat flow) conditions. The temperature rise of the specimen indicates the heat being produced during the hydration. To determine heat fluxes, the heat capacities of the specimen and system components must be determined separately. A semi-adiabatic method, commonly referred to as the Langavant method, is the basis of the French standard for determining the heat of hydration of cementitious materials.

Heat of Solution Technique

This technique, established as ASTM standard C-186 in 1944, consists of determining the heat of solution of hydrated cement by dissolving the hydrated material in a mixture of acids and recording the temperature rise in an insulated container. By subtracting the equivalent measure for the unhydrated cement powder, the heat of hydration can be obtained. Typically, zinc oxide (ZnO) is used as a reference material for calibration of the heat capacities of the experimental setup, etc. Measurements are typically performed after 7 and 28 days of hydration.
