A method for the calculation of the specific gravities of calcium silicates from their refractive indices

Abstract
Summary A method is described for the calculation of the specific gravity of any anhydrous or hydrated calcium silicate from its mean refractive index. The results usually agree to within ±2% with those determined directly by the suspension or pycnometer methods.
