SLAKING AND PREPARATION OF LIME PU
14、TTYX1.1 IntroductionX1.1.1 Quicklime can never be used as such for structuralpurposes; it must always 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 pa
15、rt of the specification, but asinformation for the further protection of the purchaser.X1.1.2 Different 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 pos
16、sible quantity and the bestpossible quality of putty. To find out how to slake a new lot oflime, it is 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 tr
17、y a sample from each lot used, whetherfamiliar with the brand or not.X1.2 Classification of LimesX1.2.1 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
18、it takes for slaking to begin. Slaking has begunwhen pieces split off from the lumps or when the lumpscrumble. 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,
19、 slowslaking.X1.3 Directions for SlakingX1.3.1 Slake quicklime in accordance with the printeddirections 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 fi
20、rst tocover all the lime completely. Have a plentiful supply of wateravailable for immediate usea hose 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
21、 of usingtoo much water with this kind of lime.X1.3.3 For medium-slaking lime, add the water to the lime.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
22、. Be careful not to add any more water thanrequired, and not too much at a time.X1.3.4 For slow-slaking 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
23、 fresh water. Do not hoeuntil the slaking is practically complete. If the weather is verycold, it is preferable 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
24、follows:X1.4.2 White CoatAfter slaking and aging finishingquicklime in accordance with the printed directions 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
25、througha No. 10 (2.00-mm) sieve conforming to Specification E11, andstore for a minimum of 2 weeks.X1.4.3 Base CoatsAfter the action has ceased, run off theputty through a No. 8 (2.36-mm) sieve conforming to Speci-fication E11. Add sand up to equal parts by weight, all of thehair or other fibers req
26、uired, and store for a minimum of 2weeks.X1.4.4 Masons MortarAfter the action has ceased, addpart or 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 standa
