Dear all, Following the discussion below I want to take the opportunity to inform all “Rietvelders” who are dealing somehow with cement that our Institute offers a set of reference cements for chemical and mineralogical analyses. We had the discussion in the German cement industry for a long time that we want to have samples with reliable information on the main element chemistry, trace elements and mineralogical composition (XRD/Rietveld) as well. So we have organized a Round Robin test with up to 20 experienced laboratories and produce a set of three reference cements (CEM I; CEM II/B-M (S-LL); CEM III/B). To be clear: the samples are not certified reference material as defined in ISO Guide 30, but we handle it in amounts of 200g each so that you can prepare even pressed pellets without wasting the whole sample at once.
If you are interested in more detailed information, please visit our website: https://www.vdz-online.de/en/services/research-and-technology/chemistry-and-mineralogy/reference-materials Specific enquiries<http://www.linguee.de/englisch-deutsch/uebersetzung/specific+enquiries.html>, e. g. relating delivery conditions and costs, should be carried out in direct email contact to me (contact data see below), not to overload the “Rietveld list”-user with such stuff.

Mai 2017 09:54 An: rietveld_l@ill.fr Betreff: Commercial announcements on the Rietveld list People ask if commercial products can be promoted on the Rietveld list. There are no written rules, and no vetting of posts. (Members simply risk being suspended if they break the unwritten rules :-) Generally, a short announcement of the availability of a commercial product or offer is acceptable if it is in the community's interest. Overt publicity, especially if it promotes a particular commercial product over others, is not. As usual, announcements should be kept short, with a link to further information. Of course, as an independent scientist, you can still give your opinion of the relative merits of commercial products. If in doubt, it is best to ask first, as some members already do.
