7、C.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is primarily to be used to dry samples forthe determination of mercury test portions, and it should not beused for the determination of sample moisture content. Mostsample preparation methods prescribe drying the samples at105C, until a constant mass is obt

8、ained. The moisture contentis determined as the percentage mass loss on drying. However.since mercury can volatize from samples at the normallyutilized temperature, samples that are to be used for mercurydetermination shall be dried at 60C (See Practice E 877,Method ISO 9599, Method ISO 1273, and Me

9、thodISO 10251).5.2 It is assumed that all who use this practice will betrained analysts capable of performing skillfully and safely.
