1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of low contents (as < 5 g CaCO per
3
kilogram) of carbonate in soil samples. It applies to any type of carbonate liming material, such as limestone,
chalk, and dolomite.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods (ISO 3696)
3 Principle
Hydrochloric acid is added to a soil sample to decompose any carbonates present. The reaction in simplified
form reads as follows (Me means metal):
+ 2+
MeCO + 2H → Me + H CO
3 2 3
H CO → H O+ CO (gaseous)
2 3 2 2
The volume of the carbon dioxide produced is measured with a measuring burette, and is compared with the
volume of gas produced by increasing amounts of calcium carbonate added to test portions. To avoid making
corrections for differences in temperature and pressure, all determinations are carried out under the same
conditions, with a very strict control of ambient conditions and determination timing, e.g. air-conditioned room
and water bath, short time during which the variation of atmospheric pressure is supposed to be constant.
4 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade.
4.1 Water, with a specific electrical conductivity not higher than 0,2 mS/m at 25 °C (conforming to grade 2
of EN ISO 3696).
4.2 Hydrochloric acid, c(HCl) = 4 mol/l.
Dilute 340 ml of 37 % hydrochloric acid in water (4.1) and then fill up to 1 000 ml with water (4.1).
4.3 Sulfuric acid, (H SO ) solution 95 % to 97 %.
2 4
4.4 Sodium sulfate, (Na SO ), powder, purity higher than 99 %.
2 4
4.5 Internal liquid of the calcimeter, 50 g/l of sodium sulfate (4.4) and 50 ml/l of sulfuric acid (4.3).
4.6 Calcium carbonate, (CaCO ), powder, purity higher than 99 %.

5 Apparatus
5.1 Apparatus for the volumetric measurement of produced gas, inspired of Bernard calcimeter
according to Figure 1.
The apparatus is composed of a glass tube of 20 ml graduated every 0,02 ml. The total length shall not
exceed 80 cm. Another non graduated glass tube with the same length and the same diameter is connected
to the first glass tube with a transparent flexible pipe of about 1 m. A small volume of reserve of 50 ml can be
inserted right at the inferior end of the graduated tube. The higher end of the graduated tube is connected by a
standard flexible pipe to the Erlenmeyer flask (5.2) of attack.

SIST-TS CEN/TS 16375:2013
CEN/TS 16375:2013 (E)
The graduated tube is fixed vertically on a stand.
The non-graduated tube is held on a second stand, parallel to the first, but so that it is vertically mobile. Mark
the tube to approximately 2 cm of its lower end.
The two tubes shall only be 1 mm or 2 mm away from each other.
The whole apparatus shall be dipped several hours in a surface-active cleaning liquid to eliminate any trace
on the interior surface of the tubes which could hinder circulation and modify the levelling of the internal liquid.
Rinse with demineralised water after treatment.

5.2 200 ml Erlenmeyer flask, with finely ground, gas tight glass stopper.
Erlenmeyer flasks of attack, with a capacity of 200 ml, are closed by a finely ground glass cup. The upper part
of the cap is connected by 200 mm of standard flexible pipe to a 3 ways tap of polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE),
which is also connected to the flexible pipe coming from the graduated tube.
The waterproof of the glass cap is ensured by a thin silicone-grease layer.
5.3 Water bath, the volume of water shall be of at least 5 l and maintain at room temperature.

5.4 Metallic ring.
The Erlenmeyer flask of attack (5.2) is ballasted with a metallic ring and is kept in the water bath.
5.5 Thermo stated room.
The whole device is placed in a thermo stated room of a great thermal inertia or fit with a device of cold-hot
regulation which ensures an uninterrupted constant temperature to ± 1 °C. Check the room temperature
changes close to the device for 1 h.
