Abstract

ABSTRACT:
This study compares the quality of different brands of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) available in
Jordan. The amounts of chemical constituents such as Silica SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO,Sulfuric
anhydride (SO3) were determined in accordance with British Standard (BS) specifications. All the
results are presented to provide both quantitative and qualitative notion that several locally produced
ordinary compositions of most of these constituents as determined experimentally were within the
range of the standard values. The possible reasons for variation in chemical compositions and their
consequences have been discussed.
هـــذه الدراســـة تقـــارن جـــودة الأســـمنت البورتلانـــدي العـــادي الـــذي ينـــتج مـــن قبـــل شـــرکات مختلفـــة فـــي الأردن،
وکميـــــة احتوائـــــه مـــــن المـــــواد الکيميائيـــــة مثـــــل: الجيـــــر الحـــــر، والخســـــائر الناتجـــــة عـــــن اشـــــتعال ٍ کـــــل مـــــن
ً للمواصـفة القياسـية البريطانيـة. وقـد أظهـرت جميـع النتـائج تـوفر کميـة
طبقـا ،Al2O3, SiO2, MgO, CaO, SO3
ً فـي الإطـار العملـي مـن خـلال المکونات للمنتجات المختلفة، والتراکيـب العاديـة لمعظـم هـذه
المکونـات المحـددة سـابقا
حزمة المواصفات القياسية، وکذلک تمت مناقشة الأسباب المحتملة للاختلاف في الترکيب الکيماوي، وما يترتـب علـى
ذلک من مخاطر.
