Abnormal behavior in adiabatic calorimetry of set dental stone.
Dehydration in set dental stone was studied by employing specific heat measurements. Dehydration proceeds in two steps in air. In the case of bulk samples, especially those made with a lower water-powder ratio, three endothermic reaction stages are observed; a reaction of the dihydrate to the hemihydrate is apparently separated in two, one of which is not inherent. It is thought that the occurrence of a new peak is due to the difficulty for the dehydrated water to escape, depending on the porosity of the set stone.
