matter such as rock dust, slag dust, hydrated lime, hydraulic
cement, fly ash, loess, or other suitable mineral matter. At
the time of use, it shail be sufficiently dry to flow freely and
essentially free from agglomerations.
4. Physical Requirements
4.1 Mineral filler shall be graded within the following
limits:

0-um (No. 30) 9
3m (No, 50) 9510 100
"Se (NO, 200) 0% 100
4.2 Mineral Filler prepared from rock dust, slag dust,
loess, and similar materials shall be essentially free from
organic impurities and have a plasticity index not greater
than 4,
Nork-—Plasticty index limits are not appropriate for hydraulic lime
and cement,
3. Methods of Sampling and Testing
3.1 Sample the mineral filler according to Practice C 50.
C183, or Test Methods C 311, whichever is most appro
priate for the material being sampled, except as noted in

| Obtain samples at random intervals not to exceed
eactr 300 tons of material as delivered.
5.2 The minimum size of field samples shail be 5.0 kg.
Reduce the field sample to a minimum size of 2.5 kg for
testing,
5.3 Determine the grading of the material by Test Method
D346.
5.4 Determine the plasticity index by Test Method
