EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY OF KILN FEED AND CLINKER
A well-burned clinker has a liter weight between 1250-1350 g. The liter weight can vary considerably, even though the clinker is well burned, between one feed composition and another. If the raw-feed ·COmposition remains constant, the best clinker will have the appropriate liter weight and lowest free-lime content.
