About this file
This document is a Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development specification for Grade 1 and Grade 2 sodium chloride (salt) used as a deicer on roadways and during road maintenance. The specification details requirements for salt procurement in various packaging options, including 50 LB and 80 LB sacks, 2,000 LB super sacks, and bulk quantities. Material must meet ASTM D632 test method requirements, with specific material master numbers assigned for each grade and packaging type.
The specification outlines detailed packaging, sampling, and testing requirements for the salt. Packaging must be moisture-proof, with super sacks requiring tear resistance and specific design features like duffle tops, bottom spouts, and lift straps. Acceptance is primarily based on visual inspection, with additional testing conducted only if material quality is in doubt. The specification includes precise requirements for sodium chloride content (minimum 95%) and sieve analysis specifications for different particle sizes, with slight variations between Grade 1 and Grade 2 salt. The document was revised on September 10, 2018, and provides comprehensive guidelines for salt suppliers to meet the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's procurement standards.

PACKAGING:
Salt shall be supplied in sack (bag), containers or in bulk lots as specified.
50 LB and 80 LB sack (bag) or container shall be moisture proof.
2,000 LB sack (super sack) shall be moisture proof, tear resistant with a minimum capacity of 2,000 pounds. Each super sack must come complete with a duffle top, bottom spout, and attached lift straps. Sack shall be designed in a manner that allows them to be repeatedly lifted and moved via a forklift by way of the lift straps and securely stacked when loaded to full capacity.
SAMPLING:
Acceptance will be based on visual inspection.
Material will be sampled and tested in accordance with the requirements of ASTM D632 only if the quality of the material is in doubt.
Sample size will depend on the type of packaging supplied. A one (1) quart sample will be taken at random from a 50 LB or 80 LB supply. A 50-pound sample will be taken at random from a 2,000 LB or bulk lot supply.
Test methods shall be the latest in effect.
