About This Item
ASTM C1318 is a technical test method for evaluating the total neutralizing capability of lime used in flue gas desulfurization, along with dissolved calcium and magnesium oxide content. As an ASTM standard, it helps provide a consistent basis for measuring how a lime material may perform in FGD applications, where reliable chemical reactivity matters. This makes the standard useful for quality control, material comparison, and product evaluation in pollution-control workflows.
What is ASTM C1318?
ASTM C1318, titled Standard Test Method for Determination of Total Neutralizing Capability and Dissolved Calcium and Magnesium Oxide in Lime for Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD), defines a method for assessing key chemical properties of lime intended for FGD service. The standard focuses on measuring neutralizing capability and the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium oxide, which are important indicators of how the material may react in sulfur dioxide control processes. It is primarily a laboratory testing document used to support consistent evaluation.
Where is ASTM C1318 used?
This standard is commonly used in laboratories, quality assurance programs, and procurement workflows that support flue gas desulfurization operations. It applies to lime materials being evaluated for their suitability in FGD systems, where chemical performance and consistency are important. ASTM C1318 may also be used when comparing supplier materials, verifying test results, or supporting specifications for lime supplied to air-emissions control facilities.
Why is ASTM C1318 important?
ASTM C1318 helps users obtain repeatable test results for key lime properties that affect FGD performance. By providing a defined test method, it supports more consistent product evaluation, easier supplier comparison, and stronger quality control. That consistency can reduce procurement risk and help engineering and laboratory teams make better decisions about material suitability. For organizations involved in emissions control, the standard contributes to more reliable testing and documentation.
