ASTM C110-02a

Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Quicklime, Hydrated Lime, and Limestone

SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover physical testing of quicklime and hydrated lime, and of limestone not otherwise covered in ASTM standards.
Note 1—Quicklime and hydrated lime have a high affinity for moisture and carbon dioxide. Caution should be taken to protect both hydrated and quicklime during sampling, storage, and testing (see Practice C 50).
1.2 The test procedures appear in the following order:SectionAir Entrainment 13Apparent Loose Density of Hydrated Lime, Pulverized Quicklime, and Limestone 16Apparent Packed Density of Hydrated Lime, Pulverized Quicklime, and Limestone 17Autoclave Expansion of Hydrated Lime 8Dry Brightness of Pulverized Limestone 15Dry Screening by Air Jet Sieve 19Fineness of Pulverized Quicklime and Hydrated Lime by Air Permeability18Limestone Grindability 20Particle Size of Pulverized Limestone 14Plasticity of Lime Putty 7Popping and Pitting of Hydrated Lime 9Residue and Sieve Analysis 5Settling Rate of Hydrated Lime11Slaking Rate of Quicklime 12Specific Gravity of Hydrated Lime Products21Standard Consistency of Lime Putty 6Water Retention of Hydrated Lime 10Wet Sieve Analysis of Agricultural Liming Materials22
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
