    The document provides steps to prepare limestone for testing by first drying 100g of raw limestone at 105C for 1 hour. It is then ground for 1-2 minutes using a swing mill and small portions are weighed and tested in a Blaine cylinder until a Blaine value of 500-600 is reached, at which point the prepared limestone is transferred to a container and the desired amount is weighed out for use.

    Limestone Preparation

    1. Weigh 100 g raw limestone.


    2. Dry in the oven for 1 hour at 105 C.
    3. After drying, grind the dried limestone using swing mill for 1 min.
    4. Take a small portion of the grounded limestone and weigh 2.4120 g.
    5. Transfer the weighed sample into the Blaine cylinder and test its Blaine. If the Blaine is less than
    500, grind the limestone further for 30 sec to 1 min. Again, take a small portion of the grounded
    limestone and test its Blaine. Repeat the procedure until the Blaine reaches around 500-600.
    6. If the Blaine target is achieved, transfer the grounded limestone into the limestone container.
    7. Weigh the desired amount of limestone to be used.
