XRF is the major analytical technique employed in the construction sector to test the quality of a variety of materials.Together with Rigaku, specialist for WDXRF spectrometry, RETSCH offers a live webinar on the quality control of raw and finished materials in the construction materials industry. While RETSCH will focus on the mechanical sample preparation of the various materials, Rigaku will present solutions for obtaining accurate and reliable results.
Cement plants all over the world use RETSCH products for sample preparation. From the inspection of raw materials to the quality control of the clinker and final cement and to the determination of the calorific value of the fuels, RETSCH’s mills and crushers as well as the sample dividers are the products of choice. This is also true for the quality control of other materials of the construction sector – such as wood, rocks, asphalt or polymers. Retsch offers instruments to meet the requirements of these materials– in terms of sample size & volume and required final fineness.
Rigaku offers a WDXRF benchtop instrument, the Supermini200. The instrument can handle samples with a sample holder of 40 mm or 51.5 mm as steel rings. With high accuracy and precision, the instrument is used for large and smaller manufacturing plants including grinding plants and for various tasks in R&D labs. During the session, the analytical capabilities of the Supermini200 will be demonstrated for pressed powder and fused beads on various building materials like concrete, bentonite, roof tiles or steel.
This 90-minute webinar will be hosted by RETSCH's Product Manager for sample preparation equipment and the XRF Specialist from Rigaku. These experts will explain how to prepare and analyze various materials used in the construction sector. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session.
