Inspection of cement, clinker

Cement is a hydraulic binder formed by fine grinding of clinker, natural gypsum and additives. When in contact with water, hydration reactions occur and form a lake called cement paste. Then, due to the formation of hydration products, the cement paste begins a setting process followed by a hardening process to finally obtain a material with a certain strength and stability.

In the field of construction, cement is a raw material that makes up the quality of construction works, so the quality of cement is an important factor in the selection of materials for construction. build.

To help you control the quality of cement, ITVC Global proposes a package of cement inspection services, specifically as follows:

Scope of work:

At the factory:

- Pre-shipment inspection: Sampling, sample analysis (for cement/clinker quality), weight assessment of goods loaded onto barges

At the side of the ship:

- Inspecting the volume of cargo transported on the barge at the side of the ship

- Counting the number of jumbo bags (for bulk cement)

- Take samples for moisture analysis

- Assessing the volume of goods loaded on board by the method of surveying the ship's draft
