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 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 Permeability18
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 Lime11
Slaking Rate of Quicklime 12
Specific Gravity of Hydrated Lime Products21
Standard Consistency of Lime Putty 6
Water Retention of Hydrated Lime 10
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.
