scope:

This specification covers technical grade calcium chloride used for pretreatment of and deicing road surfaces, dust control, stabilizing, and conditioning road surfaces, and for accelerating the set of concrete not reinforced with steel. Other uses may also be appropriate.

This specification is applicable for orders in either SI units or inch-pound units. SI and inch-pound units are not necessarily equivalent. Inch-pound units are shown in brackets in the text for clarity, but they are applicable values when the material is ordered.
