32、iveness of the neutralising potential of calcium carbonate, calcium magnesium carbonate and calcium magnesium silicate liming materials by potentiometric titration with hydrochloric acid. This method is applicable only to liming materials with a maximum particle size of 6,3 mm. The type of liming ma
33、terial should be identified according to EN 14069 and the particle size should be determined according to EN 12948. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Check the sluggishness of the electrode and if necessary, clean it carefully with hydrochloric acid (5.1) and re-calibrate with the standard buffer solutions. Checking and cleaning is more frequently required for liming materials containing clay. It is recommended to flush the acid introduction pipe between each sample for slow reacting samples. 7.1.1.2 Adjust the motor driven burette (4.2.1) to the position “continuous working” and a standard flow rate of 35 ml/min to 38 ml/min.
