ABSTRACT This specification covers all types of commercial hydrated lime such as: high-calcium, magnesium, or dolomitic-hydrated lime. This lime is used with pozzolans. The lime shall conform to the required physical and chemical limits: chemical factor, blaine fineness, and pozzolanic receptivity index. The following test methods shall be done: determination of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and carbon dioxide; calculation of chemical factor; blaine fineness; pozzolanic receptivity index; lime-pozzolan strength; and lime-pozzolan-aggregate strength and freeze-thaw resistance. SCOPE 1.1 This specification covers all types of commercial hydrated lime such as: high-calcium, magnesian, or dolomitic-hydrated lime. By-product limes and slaked quick limes in dry, wet, or slurried form are also included. 1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined. 1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
