The Sodium Chloride shall be delivered in a free flowing and useable condition and shall conform to ASTM-D632 Specification unless hereinafter specified otherwise, which shall be a Sodium Chloride (NaCl), minimum content of 95 percent. GRADING OF SODIUM CHLORIDE: The Sodium Chloride shall conform to the following requirements for particle size when tested by means of laboratory sieves: Passing 7/16” sieve (Minimum) 100% Passing 3/8” sieve 95-100% Passing No. 4 (4760-Micron sieve) 20-90% Passing No. 8 (2380-Micron sieve) 10-60% Passing No.30(590-Micron sieve) 0-10% NOTE: Detailed requirements for these sieves are given in the Standard Specifications for sieves for Testing Purposes. (ASSHO Designation M92-42); Inspection-Sampling-Testing Sodium Chloride: All testing shall be in accordance with current ASTM methods. Deliveries: All Sodium Chloride must be covered during transit with canvas or other suitable material and should be delivered in a dry condition. Sodium Chloride will be considered to be in a dry condition only when the water content does not exceed one-half (1/2) of one percent (0.5%) by weight. Water content over said one-half of one percent shall be considered excess and subject to adjustment therefore. The laboratory report showing excess moisture on such accepted materials shall be furnished to the Vendor, and the Vendor shall reduce the invoice for the delivered materials by a weight equal to the weight of the excess moisture. Moisture content in excess of one percent (1.0%) by weight, may, in the judgment of the Town, be cause for rejection of the material.
