these it has been decided to print tests as different parts of a separate
Indian Standard. This part covers nUl""U,,,U of residue on slaking of

This sample of lime shaH be slaked isothermally by immersing in hot water

contents of the slaking vessel are completely transferred on to the sieves by
washing out the slaking vessel with ajet of water. Wash the residues on both
the sieves with a moderate jet of water from a flexible tube, the whole opera-
tion taking not more than 30 minutes. The residue shan not be rubbed
through the sieves. Dry the residue at 100 ± 10 °0 to constant mass. Weigh
separately the residue on each of the sieves.
2.5 Report of Test Results - The residues on the respective sieves shall
be reported as the percentage of mass of quicklime taken for the test.
