The methods of Kriege (cf. C. A. 25, 4680) and Florentin (cf. C. A. 21, 3440) consist in solubilizing the SiO2 of the cement (which is present as Ca silicates) by treating with HCl and then determining it by the usual methods. In Scheibe’s method (cf. C. A. 29, 8273.5) the coarse aggregate is eliminated, the residue (sand and cement) is pulverized and the portions soluble and insoluble in HCl are determined after calcination; it is assumed arbitrarily that the sum of the loss on ignition and the insoluble matter in the cement = 3%. It is then easy to calculate the amount of cement. None of these methods gives reliable results, and the same is true of indirect methods based only on the finished concrete and on samples of the sand and gravel entering into its composition There always remains a certain degree of uncertainty if the complete composition of the cement and the loss on ignition are not known. It should be noted that in all cases where the concrete itself is analyzed, the results give the composition of the finished concrete, and not that of the original mix. For the water also, it is possible to establish only the quantity which is actually combined in the concrete.
