    This document summarizes amendments made to IS 1727:1967, the standard test methods for pozzolanic materials. It modifies procedures for sample preparation, loss on ignition testing, and fusion testing. Specifically, it adds steps for drying samples at 105°C before chemical analysis, updates the loss on ignition procedure to involve two heatings and calculations to four decimal places, and changes the sample preparation for fusion testing from air dried to oven dried.

    AMENDMENT NO.

    2 JUNE 2013
    TO
    IS 1727 : 1967 METHODS OF TEST FOR
    POZZOLANIC MATERIALS
    (First Revision)

    (Page 7, clause 5.2, sentence 1) — Insert the following after sentence 1:

    m
    gm as
    ‘Keep about 10 g sample in a large glass Petri dish and spread it evenly into a

    .co
    thin layer. Put it in the oven maintained at 105 oC ± 5 °C for 1h to remove any
    nt@ r D
    superficially adsorbed moisture. Take it out and keep in a desiccator and cool it

    ail
    to room temperature for chemical analysis.’
    lta uma
    (Page 8, clause 5.3) — Substitute the following for the existing clause:

    ‘5.3 Loss on Ignition


    nK

    Heat about 1g of oven dried sample, m1 (accurately weighed up to four decimal


    place) for 15 min in a weighed and covered platinum crucible (a porcelain
    ru

    crucible may also be used) of 20 to 25 ml capacity by placing it in a muffle


    oA

    furnace at a temperature between 900 °C and 1 000 °C; cool and weigh. Check
    su

    the loss in mass by a second heating for 5 min and reweigh (m2). Calculate the
    loss on ignition as follows:
    on
    dt

    ⎛ m1 − m2 ⎞
    ac
    se

    Percent loss on ignition = ⎜ ⎟ × 100


    ⎝ m1 ⎠
    eg
    en
    om
    Lic

    Round off the calculated value and report up to 1 decimal place.

    NOTE — The significance of the determination of loss on ignition shall vary according to the
    nature of the sample. The figure obtained may include loss due to the oxidation of any
    carbonaceous matter and gain due to the oxidation of any ferrous iron present.’

    (Page 8, clause 5.4.1, line 1) — Substitute 'Fuse about 1g of the oven dried
    (accurately weighed up to four decimal places)' for 'Fuse one gram of the air
    dried'.
