ASTM C110 : 02

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

Standard Details

1.1 These test methods cover physical testing of quicklime and hydrated lime, and of limestone not otherwise covered in ASTM StandardDetails.

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:

Section

Air Entrainment	13
Apparent Loose Density of Hydrated Lime, Pulverized Quicklime, and Limestone	16
Apparent Packed Density of Hydrated Lime, Pulverized Quicklime, and Limestone	17
Autoclave Expansion of Hydrated Lime	8
Dry Brightness of Pulverized Limestone	15
Dry Screening by Air Jet Sieve	19
Fineness of Pulverized Quicklime and Hydrated Lime by Air Permeability	18
Limestone Grindability	20
Particle Size of Pulverized Limestone	14
Plasticity of Lime Putty	7
Popping and Pitting of Hydrated Lime	9
Residue and Sieve Analysis	5
Settling Rate of Hydrated Lime	11
Slaking Rate of Quicklime	12
Specific Gravity of Hydrated Lime Products	21
Standard Consistency of Lime Putty	6
Water Retention of Hydrated Lime	10
Wet Sieve Analysis of Agricultural Liming Materials	22

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.
