ASTM C110 : 09a

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