ASTM C25
Full Name
ASTM C25 – Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Limestone, Quicklime, and Hydrated Lime
Scope
These test methods cover the chemical analysis of high-calcium and dolomitic limestone, quicklime, and hydrated lime. These test methods are classified as either standard (preferred) or alternative (optional).
The standard test methods are those that employ classical gravimetric or volumetric analytical procedures and are typically those required for referee analyses where chemical specification requirements are an essential part of contractual agreement between buyer and seller.
