Significance and Use4.1 The following practi
24、ces are to be used in obtaining samples that are representative of the lot being sampled. Themethodology used will be dependent upon the size and type of material sampled and testing requirements.4.2 The following practices are intended for use in obtaining samples from material that is ready for sa
25、le and are not intendedas sampling procedures for quality control purposes. These practices are to be used in obtaining a laboratory sample that will yieldresults serving as a basis for acceptance or rejection of the lot of material sampled. This does not preclude the use of these practicesfor quali
26、ty control purposes.4.3 The following practices can be used to eliminate bias in sampling. The person or persons responsible for using thesepractices must be trained and they will be conscientious and timely in their use.4.4 An agreement between the producer and the consumer on location of sampling,
27、 either at the producers plant or at thedestination, is encouraged. Product quality can be affected through careless handling, improper protection, and delayed shipment.It is preferable to sample at the point of loading. The consumer has the right to witness the sampling practices being used.4.5 Thi
28、s practice may be used to provide a representative sample of lime or limestone products. Due to the variability oflimestone and lime and the wide variety of sampling equipment, caution must be exercised in all stages of sampling, from systemspecification and equipment procurement to equipment accept
29、ance testing and actually taking the final sample.5. Incremental Collection5.1 For the number and weight of increments refer to Practice E122.5.2 The number of samples required depends on the intended use of the material, the quantity of material involved, and thevariations both in quality and size.
30、 A sufficient number of samples shall be obtained to cover all variations in the material.5.3 The quantity of sample to be taken will depend on the size of the material to be sampled and the amount of informationto be obtained from the sample. Caution must be taken to ensure a statistically correct
31、amount of material is selected for all testing,and sufficient quantities of material retained for reserved purposes. Recommended reference documents would include PracticesE105 and E122.5.4 Particle Size:5.4.1 Generally, a large range of particle sizes for a given material requires a larger bulk sam
32、ple size. The amount of the sampleincrement is then dependent upon the largest particle size encountered. The sample amount is determined by repeated testing todetermine the bias between successive increments, and then to reduce this bias to acceptable limits.5.4.2 The chemistry may change relative
33、to the particle size. It is important that all particle sizes proportioned relative to theirdistribution be in the parent material.C50/C50M 1225.5 Large material transfer rates result in large incremental samples. The sample must be representative of the entirecross-section flow of material. The amo
34、unt of sample and number of increments must be determined prior to sampling.Randomized sampling should be used where appropriate to minimize unintentional bias.6. Random Sampling6.1 Practices D3665, E105, and E122 can be used to minimize unintentional bias when obtaining a representative sample.Depe
35、nding upon what comprises the lot of material, sampling can be extended to specific shipping units chosen on a random basis.6.2 Collect increments with such frequency that the entire quantity of material will be represented in the gross sample. Due tothe variability of lime and limestone products an
36、d the wide variety of sampling equipment, caution must exercised in all stagesof sampling.7. Sampling Plan7.1 Purpose:7.1.1 Adequate methods for obtaining representative samples for testing the chemical and physical properties of a shipment oflime or limestone are essential. The sale and use are dep
37、endent upon the chemical or physical properties, or both.7.1.2 The sampling plan specifies the minimum weights and the number of increments required in each step of the procedureto meet the objectives of the testing.7.1.3 The sampling plan should include the personnel doing the sampling, preservatio
38、n or protection of the samples, locationof sampling, the sampling procedure to be used, sample preparation required, and the tests to be performed.7.1.4 Proper sampling involves understanding and consideration of the minimum number and weight of increments, the particlesize of the material, sample p
39、reparation, variability of the constituent sought, and the degree of precision required.7.2 Personnel:7.2.1 It is imperative that a sample is collected carefully and conscientiously. If the sampling is done improperly, the sampleis in error and any subsequent analysis is not representative of the lo
40、t being sampled. Further, a second sample may be impossibleto obtain. If an analysis is in error, another analysis is impractical on an incorrectly obtained sample. Whereas, a second analysisis possible, if the first was in error, if the initial sampling was correct.7.2.2 Because of the importance o
41、f proper sampling and the resulting information, individuals engaged in sampling and samplepreparation must be qualified by training and experience and possess a thorough understanding of sampling practices andtechniques or under the direct supervision of such an individual.7.3 Preservation of Sampl
42、e:7.3.1 Due to the hygroscopic nature of quicklime, samples must be immediately stored in airtight, moisture-proof containers toavoid air-slaking and subsequent absorption of carbon dioxide.7.3.2 Due to the generally soft characteristics of quicklime, proper handling to avoid degradation must be pra
43、cticed if the sampleis to be used for particle size determination.7.4 Location of SamplingThe process type and the process measurements required determine the sampling location. Sitesshould be selected to allow for safe, easy access to a representative cross section of the process material.7.5 Choic
44、e of Sampling ProcedureThe choice of sampling procedure to be used is dependent on three things. First, it isnecessary to define the lot or batch of material to be sampled. Second, it is necessary to determine the number of incrementalsamples to be taken from the lot. Third, the choice of sampling p
45、rocedure needs to be determined from Section 8 utilizing thepreceding criteria.7.6 Recommended Number and Weight of Increments:7.6.1 Refer to Table 1 for the recommended number and weight of increments for general purpose sampling. The number ofincrements required listed in Table 1 are based upon a
46、1000ton lot size. To determine the number of increments recommendedfor a specific lot size, use Eq 1. To determine the recommended weight for a bulk sample, multiply the increment requirement timesthe minimum increment weight from Table 1. . The nominal particle size is assigned based on production
47、screening.7.6.2 The increments and weights listed in Table 1 are only recommendations and are not based upon a statistical model. Formore accurate methods to determine weights and increments required, refer to Practices E105, E122, and E141 and Test MethodsD2234/D2234M.7.6.3 For randomized sampling,

Due to the variety of types, it is impractical to specifically identify each device. Priorto using any mechanical sampling device, it needs to be determined that the device is capable of taking an unbiased, representativesample of the material in question.8. Sampling Proced
