Portland cement, to meet
the exacting specifications
ofleading engineering soci-
cites and the United States
Government, must be
ground so fine that at least
70 per cent will pass a sieve
having 200 wires perlinear
inch. A silk handkerchief
has butI threads perinch
an excellent quality of
silk dress goods 187threads.
The watch in your pocket hardly
calls for a more complicated and
carefullyadiusted process of manu-
facture than the making ofcement.
Grinding is only one of the many
operations required to make it.
Yet in grinding alone, see what is
required:
The rocks from the quarry, often
as big as a piano and heavier, go
first into a gigantic coffee mill"
1t bites at these huge chunks,
chips them, and finally crushes
them-to pieces six inches or so
In diameter.
Two finer mills follow, one after
the other, reducing the stones to
the size of coarse sand Alter this,
they must be ground in a great re-
volving cylinder half filled with
steel balls, until every cubic foot
of the rock has been reduced to Il
billion pieces-until IS per cent
of them will shake through a sieve
that willactuallyh oldwater, asieve
with 10000 holes to the square
inch.
And aIlof this is less than half the
necessarygrinding. The coal must
be ground. For the object of all
this fine grinding of the raw ma
terials is only that it may be fused
into crystalline clinkers. And to
fuse it requires pulverized coal
or its equivalent. Most plants use
: pulverized coal
The coal must be ground as fine
as the raw stone. E~ighty-6ve per
cent Of it or thereabouts must go
through the sieve that holds
water. And that often means two
grinding operations.
There Is still the clinker to be
ground. 1t is glass hard to begin
with. Unjust b groundf first tothe
6neness Of sand, and then ground
and reground in another cylinder
of steel balls-until at least 70 per
cent Of it will go through the
sieve woven finer than silk.
Huge powders to an impalpable
dust. Common coal to an impal-
pable dust, and finally, after the
burning, glass-hard clinker to an
impalpable dust. That is the max
ing Of cement. And eight heavy
grinding operations are required
in the process.
Grinding is only one Of the lesser
heat and power consuming oper.
atoms in cement manufacture.
