Designation:C1797M16Standard Specification forGround Calcium Carbonate and Aggregate Mineral Fillersfor use in Hydraulic Cement Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1797M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification applies to ground calcium carbonate(GCC is a type of ground limestone)and other finely dividedaggregate mineral filler(AMF)materials for use in concretemixtures.The specification defines the types of GCC andAMFmaterials for use in concrete.1.2 If concrete in service is subject to sulfate exposure,fillers derived from ground limestone should not be used unlessmitigation methods are used.NOTE1American Concrete Institute(ACI)technical documents201.2R,318,332,and 350 contain useful information and code require-ments dealing with sulfate exposure in service.Soluble sulfate in watercan be determined in accordance with Test Method D516 or Test MethodD4130.Percent sulfate by mass in soil can be determined by Test MethodC1580.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.NOTE2Sieve size is identified by its standard designation in Speci-fication E11.The alternative designation given in parentheses is forinformation only and does not represent a different standard sieve size.1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes,which provide explanatory information.These notes and foot-notes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not beconsidered as requirements of the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C25 Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Limestone,Quicklime,and Hydrated LimeC50/C50M Practice for Sampling,Sample Preparation,Packaging,and Marking of Lime and Limestone ProductsC51 Terminology Relating to Lime and Limestone(as usedby the Industry)C110 Test Methods for Physical Testing of Quicklime,Hydrated Lime,and LimestoneC117 Test Method for Materials Finer than 75-m(No.200)Sieve in Mineral Aggregates by WashingC125 Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete Ag-gregatesC136/C136M Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine andCoarse AggregatesC311/C311M Test Methods for Sampling and Testing FlyAsh or Natural Pozzolans for Use in Portland-CementConcreteC566 Test Method for Total Evaporable Moisture Content ofAggregate by DryingC595/C595M-15 Specification for Blended Hydraulic Ce-mentsC1580 Test Method for Water-Soluble Sulfate in SoilC1777 Test Method for Rapid Determination of the Methyl-ene Blue Value for FineAggregate or Mineral Filler Usinga ColorimeterD75/D75M Practice for Sampling AggregatesD516 Test Method for Sulfate Ion in WaterD1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD4130 Test Method for Sulfate Ion in Brackish Water,Seawater,and BrinesE11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and TestSievesE832 Specification for Laboratory Filter Papers2.2 ACI Documents:3ACI 201.2R Guide to Durable ConcreteACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Con-crete and CommentaryACI 332 Residential Code Requirements for Structural Con-crete and Commentary1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.20 on Normal Weight Aggregates.Current edition approved Aug.1,2016.Published August 2016.DOI:10.1520/C1797M-16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American Concrete Institute(ACI),38800 Country Club Dr.,Farmington Hills,MI 48331-3439,http:/www.concrete.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 ACI 350 Code Requirements for Environmental EngineeringConcrete Structures and CommentaryACI CT-13 Concrete Terminology2.3 Standards of Other Organizations:AASHTO T 330 Method of Test for the Quantitative Detec-tion of Harmful Clays of the Smectite Group in Aggre-gates Using Methylene Blue43.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this specification,referto Terminology C51 and Terminology C125.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 aggregate mineral filler(AMF),na finely dividedinorganic material derived from quarried stone,for use as aningredient in hydraulic cementitious mixtures and meetingspecified chemical
