Explanation of Table of Analyses 



Tables I and II: "Neutralizing value expressed in terms of calcium oxide" 

 represents the acid neutralizing value of both the magnesium and the calcium. 

 The figures in the "percent" column are obtained by a direct titration with 

 standard acid. The "pounds in one ton" are secured by multiplying the figures 

 in the "percent" column by 20. 



"Insoluble matter" represents material which is insoluble in dilute hydrochloric 

 acid to which a few drops of nitric acid have been added, and is mainly sand. 



Under "Mechanical analysis" the figures represent the percentage of product 

 that would pass or be retained by the meshed sieves mentioned.
