  2. Chemical purity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_purity

    ACS grade is the highest level of purity, and meets the standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The official descriptions of the ACS levels of purity is documented in the Reagent Chemicals publication, issued by the ACS. [3] [4] It is suitable for food and laboratory uses. Reagent grade is almost as stringent as the ACS grade.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_chemist_notation

    The phase composition of a particular cement can be quantified through a complex set of calculation known as the Bogue formula. To avoid the flash setting of concrete, due to the very fast hydration of the tricalcium aluminate (C 3 A), 2–5 wt. % calcium sulfate is interground with the cement clinker to prepare the cement powder.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Pharmacopeia

    The USP is published in a combined volume with the National Formulary (a formulary) as the USP-NF. [2] If a drug ingredient or drug product has an applicable USP quality standard (in the form of a USP-NF monograph), it must conform in order to use the designation "USP" or "NF".

  5. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, [1] and is the most widely used building material. [2] Its usage worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that of steel, wood, plastics, and aluminium combined. [3]

  6. Cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

    Concrete is the most widely used material in existence and is behind only water as the planet's most-consumed resource. [ 2 ] Cements used in construction are usually inorganic , often lime - or calcium silicate -based, and are either hydraulic or less commonly non-hydraulic , depending on the ability of the cement to set in the presence of ...

  7. Sodium gluconate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_gluconate

    Sodium gluconate is a compound with formula NaC 6 H 11 O 7. [2] It is the sodium salt of gluconic acid.Its E number is E576. This white, water-soluble powder has a wide range of applications across industries.

  8. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  9. AFt phases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFt_phases

    Calcium aluminates can form complex salts in combination with different types of anions.Two series of calcium aluminates are known in cement chemistry: AFm and AFt phases, being respectively mono- or tri-substituted with a given divalent anion X (e.g. SO 2− 4, CO 2− 3, or hosting a divalent impurity such as SeO 2− 4 [3]...), or with two units of a monovalent anion, e.g. OH −, Cl − ...
