Record the weight of the containers plusweight of fiber as W1.7.2 Dry the specimens in an oven at 105 to 110C 220 to230F for 1 h.7.3 Remove the dried specimen from the oven and cool toroom temperature in a desiccator. Weigh the container anddried fiber to the neares

Alternatively, weighing maybe carried out in an airtight weighing container.8. Calculation8.1 C

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionThe single-sample, multiple operator in-tralaboratory precision is within 1 % of the average in 95 % ofcas

20、es.10.2 BiasThe moisture content of asbestos fiber at equi-librium with the surrounding atmosphere is a function ofatmospheric temperature, barometric pressure and relativehumidity5. Thus, different values will be obtained with differ-ent conditions. Generally, this variation will not be significant
