A titration method is used to analyse the acid neutralization/consumption capacity (ANC) of cement binders, which involves plotting the steady‐state pH against the amount of acid added to a diluted suspension of hardened cement samples. Despite ANC being employed for several decades, there is no reported application of ANC for metakaolin‐based geopolymers. This study compares the resistance of metakaolin geopolymers to acetic acid and hydrochloric acid with that of Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC) and Portland Cement (PC). The proposed ANC test setup involves small acid dosage steps using an auto‐titrator, resulting in a high‐resolution titration curve. The effect of binder chemical composition on acid resistance is evaluated through cumulative and differential ANC analysis, providing a new rapid approach to evaluate the durability of geopolymers in low pH environments.
