    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1These test methods cover physical testing of quicklime and hydrated lime, and of limestone not otherwise covered in ASTM standards.2

    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 C50).

    1.2The test methods appear in the following order:

    Plastic Property Testing

    Standard Consistency of Lime Putty

    5

    Plasticity of Lime Putty

    6

    Water Retention of Hydrated Lime

    7

    Air Entrainment
