Glow loss

Normec Laboratory determines the organic matter content by annealing loss in accordance with RAW 2015 test 28. This method determines the amount of organic matter in a sample. This is measured by how much mass a dry sample loses when annealed in air.

Process

In this test, the organic matter content and CaCO3 content of sandy material are determined. The material is weighed, after which it is heated at 500 ˚C to determine the organic matter content. After this, the material is weighed again and then heated at 900 ˚C to determine the CaCO3 content.
