Through q
Sieve Woven
Finer Than
Silk

Raw materials Of which portland
cement is made. come out Of the
ground usually as solid rock.
They must first be crushed,
ground and reground until at least
IS per cent of the resulting powder
will shake through a sieve that will
actually hold water.
This sieve is considerably finer
than the finest silk fabric. 1t has
200 hair like bronze wires to the
inch. That means 10000 holes to
the square inch.
But the several crushings and
grindings necessary to reduce solid
rock to this extreme hneness are
only the beginning Of cement
making.
The powdered materials must then be sub
fected to intense heat for several hours in
huge rotary kilns. Here they are half melted
and become a substance much harder than
the original rock-clinker, it is called.
Then the clinker must be crushed and
ground until at least 70 per cent OF the result
ing product will pass through the sieve woven
finer than silk. This is portland cement.
More than 80 power and fuel consuming
operations are necessary in cement making.
The electric power alone used in producing
a barrel Of portland cement would, if pur-
chased at usual household rates, cost $1.70.
Few manufactured products go through
so involved or complicated a process as port
land cement. And it sells for less per pound
than any comparable manufactured product.
