Designation:C116414Standard Practice forEvaluation of Limestone or Lime Uniformity From a SingleSource1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1164;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.Scope*1.1 This practice is intended for use in instances where thepurchaser desires information on the uniformity of limestone orlime produced at a single source.It is intended that this testmethod normally be used for the predominant material manu-factured at a plant.Guidelines for sampling,testing andpresentation of results(Table 1)are given.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 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 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 LimestoneC141 Specification for Hydraulic Hydrated Lime for Struc-tural PurposesC1271 Test Method for X-ray Spectrometric Analysis ofLime and LimestoneC1301 Test Method for Major and Trace Elements in Lime-stone and Lime by Inductively Coupled Plasma-AtomicEmission Spectroscopy(ICP)and Atomic Absorption(AA)3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms relating to this practice refer toTerminology C51.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice is designed to present in a standardizedformat information on the variability of limestone or lime froma single source over a period of time.It can be applied to allmaterials covered in Test Methods C25,C110,C1271,andC1301,and Specification C141.5.Sampling5.1 The sampling shall be done in accordance with MethodsC50.5.2 All sampling shall be performed by personnel qualifiedby specific training for this purpose.5.3 Data points shall be an average of three or more separatedeterminations relative to a specified unit of time.For example:(1)n determinations for daily average,(2)daily determinationsfor weekly average.5.4 The samples shall be identified by the date or dates thatthe represented material was obtained.6.Procedure6.1 The minimum amount of testing(see 5.3)and the typeof test(s)to be performed should be agreed upon by thepurchaser and producer.NOTE1A single daily analysis does not necessarily characterize aproduct.A minimum of three analyses is more reasonable.6.2 It is desirable that all tests used in a single evaluation beperformed in the same laboratory,preferably by the sameperson,in order for the results to be comparable.NOTE2In order to obtain comparable results when exchangingsamples between laboratories,methods used in preparation,handling andstorage of those samples must be uniform.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C07 on Lime andLimestone and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C07.02 on Specifica-tions and Guidelines.Current edition approved Dec.1,2014.Published December 2014.Originallyapproved in 1990.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as C1164 92(2009).DOI:10.1520/C1164-14.2For 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.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 6.2.1 When separate evaluations of a single source are madeby two or more laboratories,additional tests of a standardmaterial or exchanged portions of the same sample may benecessary to determine differences in testing that are likely tobe obtained in the different laboratories.Three or more batchesmay be necessary to obtain comparison between laboratories.6.2.2 Where a within-laboratory testing standard deviationhistory has not been established,duplicate tests made from asingle sample are required to determine the effect of testingvariation on the uniformity of results made in a singlelaboratory.7.Test Method7.1 The chemical analysis of quicklime,hydrated lime,andlimestone shall be determined in accordance with Test MethodsC25,C1271,or C1301.7.2 The physical analysis of quicklime,hydrated lime,andlimestone shal
