Quantitative Analysis of Cement by EDX-8000

EDX instruments have become capable in recent years of analysis accuracy comparable to that of low-output wavelength dispersive type instruments. Not only do they offer such conveniences as the ability to analyze powders as they are, their range of applicability has greatly widened to include the analysis of such substances as cement. This application note describes the analysis of pressure-formed cement standard powder samples using the new model EDX-8000.
