Building Success—LECO Instruments for Cement and Building Materials
Published 4 September 2024
In 2023, global annual cement production reached about 4.2 billion tons. This is more than twice the amount of global steel production (~1.9 Bio tons in 2023). Based on the data alone, one can’t emphasize enough the importance of building material in our economy. Most of our buildings, roads, or offices that we live, drive, or work in are made of concrete. This demands perfect quality control of cement, from raw materials, to cement clinker production, until the final cement product. Beside this, fuels, SRF materials, all kinds of slags/filter-dust, and many other environmental samples must be analyzed to ensure a clean and high-quality production of the cement.
LECO, a renowned provider of innovative analytical instruments, offers a diverse range of products tailored to meet the demands of modern cement plant laboratories. With a commitment to delivering precise, robust, and reliable analysis solutions, LECO equips laboratories with the tools needed to efficiently manage a multitude of analytical tasks.
See below for a wide-ranging example list of the LECO possibilities:
For cement quality control, loss on ignition (LOI) testing is a critical tool for evaluating material integrity. LOI data helps identify moisture and carbonation, which can negatively impact cement performance. With automated split loss on ignition using LECO’s...
