SLAKING AND PREPARATION OF LIME PUTTYX1.1 IntroductionX1.1.1 Quicklime can never be used as such for structuralpurposes; it must always
12、 be slaked first. Since the method ofslaking is an important factor in determining the quality of thefinished product, the following directions for the preparation oflime putty are given, not as a part of the specification, but asinformation for the further protection of the purchaser.X1.1.2 Differe
13、nt kinds of lime vary considerably in the wayin which they behave with water. A little supervision over theoperation of slaking will amply pay for itself by ensuring theproduction of the greatest possible quantity and the bestpossible quality of putty. To find out how to slake a new lot oflime, it i
14、s safest to try a little of it and see how it works. Sincedifferent lots of the same brand of lime vary somewhat, andsince the weather conditions at the time have a decidedinfluence, it is wise to try a sample from each lot used, whetherfamiliar with the brand or not.X1.2 Classification of LimesX1.2
15、1 In a bucket, put two or three lumps of lime about thesize of ones fist, or, in the case of granular lime, an equivalentamount. Add sufficient water to just barely cover the lime, andnote how long it takes for slaking to begin. Slaking has begunwhen pieces split off from the lumps or when the lump
16、scrumble. Water of the same temperature should be used for testand field practice.X1.2.2 If slaking begins in less than 5 min, the lime is quickslaking; from 5 to 30 min, medium slaking; over 30 min, slowslaking.X1.3 Directions for SlakingX1.3.1 Slake quicklime in accordance with the printeddirectio
17、ns of the manufacturer. When such directions are notprovided, proceed as follows:X1.3.2 For quick-slaking lime, always add the lime to thewater, not the water to the lime. Have sufficient water at first tocover all the lime completely. Have a plentiful supply of wateravailable for immediate usea hos
18、e throwing a good stream,if possible. Watch the lime constantly. At the slightest appear-ance of escaping steam, hoe thoroughly and quickly, and addenough water to stop the steaming. Do not be afraid of usingtoo much water with this kind of lime.X1.3.3 For mediumslaking lime, add the water to the li
19、me.Add enough water so that the lime is about half submerged.Hoe occasionally if steam starts to escape. Add a little waternow and then if necessary to prevent the putty from becomingdry and crumbly. Be careful not to add any more water thanrequired, and not too much at a time.X1.3.4 For slowslaking
20、 lime, add enough water to the limeto moisten it thoroughly. Let it stand until the reaction hasstarted. Cautiously add more water, a little at a time, takingcare that the mass is not cooled by the fresh water. Do not hoeuntil the slaking is practically complete. If the weather is verycold, it is pr
21、eferable to use hot water, but if this is not available,the mortar box may be covered in some way to retain the heat.X1.4 Preparation of Putty for UseX1.4.1 After slaking, prepare putty for use as follows:X1.4.2 White CoatAfter slaking and aging finishingquicklime in accordance with the printed dire
22、ctions of themanufacturer, store the putty until cool. If no printed directionsare provided by the manufacturer, prepare the putty for use asfollows: After the action has ceased, run off the putty througha No. 10 (2.00-mm) sieve conforming to Specification E 11,and store for a minimum of 2 weeks.X1.
23、4.3 Base CoatsAfter the action has ceased, run off theputty through a No. 8 (2.36-mm) sieve conforming to Speci-fication E 11. Add sand up to equal parts by weight, all of thehair or other fibers required, and store for a minimum of 2weeks.X1.4.4 Masons MortarAfter the action has ceased, addpart or
24、all of the sand required, and store for a minimum of 24h.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
