Re: Relation in Fineness and SO3

Hello Norew,

Because of its rapid speed of hydration compared to the other three clinker minerals, C3A dominates with regards to setting time.

Of course, (for a constant gypsum content) the finer the C3A, the faster it hydrates and the shorter is the setting time.

Regards, 

Ted.
