41、 sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain a weight of preparedsample not less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordancewith Practice E88.6.3.2 By agreement, an appropriate spectrographic samplemay be prepared at the time of manufacture (for example, seePracti
