                              two peaks appear at higher temperature. On reheating, a single endothermal
                              peak appears that may be used to estimate unhydrated C S. The percentage
                                                                              3
                              of C S hydrated at different times determined by DTA was plotted against

                              those obtained by XRD method. The correlation between the two methods
                              is very good (Fig. 18).
