1、Standard Method of Test for Sampling and Testing Calcium Chloride for Roads and Structural Applications AASHTO Designation: T 143-13 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 444 North Capitol Street N.W., Suite 249 Washington, D.C. 20001 TS-4c T 143-1 AASHTO Standard Method

2、 of Test for Sampling and Testing Calcium Chloride for Roads and Structural Applications AASHTO Designation: T 143-13 1. SCOPE 1.1. This test method describes the sampling of both solid and liquid forms of calcium chloride and brine using calcium chloride. It also describes the sieving procedure for

3、 the solid form of calcium chloride. 1.2. The Appendix describes a rapid method for the chemical analysis to determine total chlorides of the calcium chloride sample. 1.3. SI UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound equivalents may be approximate. It is c

4、ommon practice in the engineering profession to concurrently use pounds to represent both a unit of mass (lbm) and of force (lbf). 1.4. In the English system, the pound (lbf) represents a unit of force (weight). However, the use of balances or scales recording pounds of mass (lbm) should not be rega

Sampling DevicesSampling devices

9、 as described in R 66 for sampling liquid calcium chloride. 4.1.3. Sampling ContainersGlass containers or suitable semirigid plastic containers with covers capable of providing an airtight seal until samples are tested. Solid forms of calcium chloride shall use wide mouth containers. 4.2. SievesSiev

BalancesClass G 2 balances meeting the requirements of M 231, having a minimum capacity of at least 250 g. 5. HAZARDS 5.1. Safety HazardsThis standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns

11、, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 6. SAMPLING 6.1. Solid FormSample a shipment of the solid form calcium chloride for te

12、st purposes by selecting not less than three containers at random from the shipment. Sample each of the containers by scraping aside the top layer to a depth of approximately 25 mm (1 in.) and taking 0.5 kg (1 lb) samples by means of a sampling tube, sampling thief, or other method that will ensure

13、a sample that is representative of a cross section of the material in the container to a depth of at least 152 mm (6 in.). Take precautions during the sampling operation to avoid exposing the sample unduly to atmospheric moisture. Immediately and thoroughly mix the individual samples to form a repre

14、sentative composite sample of material and store in a sealed glass or suitable plastic container. 6.2. Liquid FormSample a shipment of liquid form calcium chloride for testing purposes by selecting not less than three approximately 500-mL (1-pt) samples from each container of the shipment by means o

15、f an appropriate sampling device or other method that will ensure a sample that is representative of the contents of the container. Take precautions during the sampling operation to avoid exposing the sample unduly to atmospheric moisture. Immediately and thoroughly mix the individual samples to for

16、m a representative composite sample of material and store in a sealed glass or suitable plastic container. 6.3. Brine Using Calcium ChlorideSample a batch of brine made using calcium chloride for testing purposes by selecting not less than three samples from the storage tank or truck by means of an

18、EDURE 7.1. Sieve Analysis: 7.1.1. In accordance with T 27, sieve approximately 200 g of calcium chloride, weighed to the nearest 0.1 g. Complete the sieving within 1 min (5 s). Use sieve sizes as required to provide required information by the governing specification, along with others necessary to

19、control the amount of material on any given sieve. Use a bottom pan and a cover. 7.1.2. ReportReport the sieve analysis in accordance with the gradation requirements of M 144, or other specification. 7.2. Chemical AnalysisDetermine the chemical analysis of the sample in accordance with ASTM E449. 7.
