OPC_min
The OPC_min data block contains information on the composition of OPC in terms of weight percentages of the different constituents.

The data block contains following columns
|
Name |
Unique identifier of the OPC composition. The name appears in linked drop down lists in input tables, e.g. Cement::Clinker::Mineral::Reference$ in the ModuleCement_Input_03_Recipe-mineral group of ModuleCement_Input_03_Recipe-mineral table. |
|
Unit |
Defines the used unit. Only mass% (i.e. g/100 g OPC clinker) is valid. Not used. |
|
Alite |
The mass percentage of alite in the OPC cement. |
|
Belite |
The mass percentage of alite in the OPC cement. |
|
Aluminate |
The mass percentage of alite in the OPC cement. |
|
Ferrite |
The mass percentage of alite in the OPC cement. |
|
CaO |
The mass percentage of CaO in the OPC cement. |
|
CaSO4 |
The mass percentage of CaSO4 in the OPC cement. |
|
CaCO3 |
The mass percentage of CaCO3 in the OPC cement. |
|
Na2SO4 |
The mass percentage of Na2SO4 in the OPC cement. |
|
K2SO4 |
The mass percentage of K2SO4 in the OPC cement. |
|
MgO |
The mass percentage of MgO in the OPC cement. |
The names and order of these columns may not be changed.
Four compositions are available (the user can add additional other compositions with unique names - see Add records)
|
Lot06 |
OPC composition from Lothenbach and Winnefeld (2006) - Table 1. |
|
CEMGEMS |
OPC composition defined as default in the CEMGEMS application. The composition is used in the hydration benchmark for clinker dissolution. |
|
Alite |
A hypothetical OPC with only alite (C3S) clinkers. The composition is used in the hydration benchmark for hydration of alite. |
|
Alite-Alluminate |
A hypothetical OPC with only alite (C3S) and aluminate (C3A) clinkers. The composition is used in the hydration benchmark for hydration of alite and aluminate. |
