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:

Section
Air Entrainment 8
Apparent Loose Density of Hydrated Lime, Pulverized Quicklime, and Limestone 19
Apparent Packed Density of Hydrated Lime, Pulverized Quicklime, and Limestone 20
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 Permeability16
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 Lime14
Slaking Rate of Quicklime 11
Specific Gravity of Hydrated Lime Products21
Standard Consistency of Lime Putty 5
Water Retention of Hydrated Lime 7
Wet 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.
