Compliance with chemical composition requirements shall be determined by use of T 219. (Note I)
1.1.2.Type II-Magnesium or dolomitic lime containing magnesium, calculated as magnesium oxide, greater than 4 but no more than 36 percent by mass.
Compliance with chemical composition requirements shall be determined by use of ASTM C 25. (Note 2)
1.2.The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
Note 1-Magnesium oxide content may be determined by ASTM C 25.
Note 2-Except that Section 2, “Samples for Analysis,” is excluded.
