The ASTM C5-18 standard establishes the requirements for different types of quicklime used for structural purposes. It covers various classes of quicklime including crushed lime, granular lime, ground lime, lump lime, pebble lime, and pulverized lime.
According to the standard, the quicklime must meet specific chemical composition requirements. Furthermore, it specifies that the quicklime should be slaked and aged according to the manufacturer's directions.
The resulting lime putty should be stored until it cools. Test methods are also provided to determine the chemical requirements, plasticity, and residue of the quicklime.
This standard ensures that quicklime used for structural purposes meets certain quality and performance criteria, promoting safety and reliability in construction applications.
