24、 textures. 3.3 Bulk sample Obtain a sample representative of the delivery as follows. a) Take separate and approximately equal increments from at least 12 different places, including the top, centre and bottom of the delivery, to produce a sample with a total mass of at least 10 kg. b) Immediately a
25、fter taking the sample, mix the increments well and pack into a suitable container. Seal it in order to retain the sand in the “as received” condition until the sample is opened for test. NOTE Glass jars, fitted with closures which will not contaminate the sand, or strong sealable polyethylene bags
26、are suitable. Metal containers or closures should not be used. c) In cases where: 1) non-friable coarse particles are present; 2) mineralogical examination is required (e.g. for refractory particles); 3) trial glass melts are to be conducted; or 4) where oversize particle analysis is required; obtai
27、n a separate sample of at least 10 kg for each additional purpose. In circumstances where adjustment of sample size of dry samples is required, follow the procedure given in BS EN 932-2:1999. In circumstances where the sample is damp, follow the procedures given in BS EN 932-1:1996, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6
28、, quartering and fractional shovelling. NOTE Where investigation is required for granular condition or detection of trace detrimental mineralogy (e.g. chromite, corundum, spinel), samples of up to 50 kg might be required. 3.4 Preparation of samples for moisture determination Thoroughly mix the bulk
29、sample (see 3.3) in a suitable dish or other container or on a clean non-absorbent surface. Take 10 separate increments, each of mass of approximately 10 g, and use the combined sample (mass approximately 100 g) for the determination of the moisture content (see 4.1). NOTE 1 A suitable surface is a
30、sheet of glass or stout polyethylene sheet spread on a work bench or table. NOTE 2 It is important to determine the moisture content as soon as possible after taking the initial sample to avoid losses of water by evaporation or absorption.BS 2975-1:2004 BSI 14 December 2004 3 3.5 Preparation of the
31、laboratory sample and samples for inspection, for the determination of particle size distribution, for refractory mineral examination or for trial glass melts 3.5.1 General Thoroughly mix the material remaining after taking the sample for moisture determination (see 3.3), wetting, if necessary, by s
32、praying with water so that the sand can be moved freely without balling. Water produced by distillation, ion exchange or another suitable method complying with BS EN ISO 3696:1995 shall be used. NOTE When dry sand is moved or handled, there will be some segregation of the different sizes of grain an
33、d of the contained minerals. Wetting the sand to between 1 % (m/m) and 5 % (m/m) water produces sufficient adhesion between the grains to minimize this segregation. Spread the uniformly wetted sand on a non-absorbent surface and distribute it in a layer of uniform thickness. Use sample size reductio
34、n techniques described in BS EN 932-2:1999. When test increments are required for subsequent test work and a riffle box or mechanical divider is available, dry the laboratory sample at 110 (5) C. For sample size reduction methods that either: a) specify only a lower limit to the test increment mass;
35、 or b) allow a sizeable tolerance around a target mass the following methods of subdivision may be used: 1) subdivision using a rotary sample divider; 2) subdivision using a riffle box; 3) subdivision using incremental shovelling; 4) subdivision by quartering. NOTE Subdivision by rotary sample divid
36、er is the preferred procedure. Quartering is not recommended for wide gradings. Further reduce the mass of the sample, as appropriate, to obtain this “laboratory sample” with a mass of approximately 1 kg. For methods that specify a test increment mass within a small tolerance, tip the sub-sample on
37、to the working surface, mix it thoroughly and form a line of sand across the working surface. Starting at one end of the line, and using a flat-bottomed scoop or a scraper, continue to withdraw sand from that end until a test increment of sufficient mass is obtained. Take care that smaller particles
38、 are not left behind. 3.5.2 Preparation of sample for inspection Where the laboratory sample is dry, using a mechanical divider, subdivide the free-flowing laboratory sample with a rotary sample divider or riffle box of appropriate dimensions to obtain a sample of about 500 g. Where the laboratory s
39、ample is damp, carry out subdivision using incremental shovelling or quartering to obtain a sample of about 500 g. 3.5.3 Preparation of sample for particle size analysis Using a mechanical divider, subdivide the free-flowing (i.e. dry or dried) laboratory sample by rotary sample divider or riffle bo
40、x of appropriate dimensions to obtain a sample of about 100 g or a smaller mass that has been demonstrated to be statistically representative for the purposes of chemical analysis of the particular material under test. Where the laboratory sample is damp, carry out subdivision using incremental shov
41、elling or quartering to obtain a sample of about 100 g. 3.5.4 Preparation of sample for chemical analysis Prepare a sample of about 100 g for analysis according to the condition (dry or damp) of the laboratory sample. If the laboratory sample is dry, use a rotary sample divider or riffle box of appr
42、opriate dimensions suitable to provide a mass of sample matching the grinding capacity of the milling equipment.BS 2975-1:2004 4 BSI 14 December 2004 If the laboratory sample is damp, use incremental shovelling or quartering to provide a mass of sample matching the grinding capacity of the milling e
43、quipment. NOTE If any clay nodules or aggregates are present in the sand, the whole of the laboratory sample remaining after the inspection and particle size determination samples have been taken should be dried at 110 (5) C. The dried sample should be transferred to a large mortar (made of porcelai
44、n or agate, not of steel) and the aggregates broken down by gently crushing with a pestle. The sample should be wetted, mixed and sampled as described in 3.3.4 for damp sand to produce a sample mass appropriate to the grinding capacity of the milling equipment. 4 Physical analysis 4.1 Determination
45、of moisture content in a ventilated oven Prepare a test increment (as specified in 3.4) to provide a mass of approximately 100 g. Clean and dry sufficient tray(s) to contain the test increment during drying. Weigh and record the mass of the tray(s) (M 1 ) to the nearest 0.1 g. Spread the test increm
46、ent out on the tray(s) to a thin layer. Weigh the tray(s) containing the moist test increment to the nearest 0.1 g (M 2 ). Place the tray(s) in a well ventilated drying oven at 110 (5) C for an appropriate period, remove, cool in a desiccator and reweigh to give constant mass (M 3 ). Use successive
47、weighings to determine the constant mass of the dried test increment. At all stages of handling and preparation before the start of the test, protect the laboratory sample and subsequent test increment from loss or gain of water. Determine the water content as the difference in mass between the wet
48、and dry mass either as a percentage of the wet mass or dried mass of the of the test increment. Calculate the water content W wor W d(%) in accordance with the following equations (expressing the result to the nearest 0.1 %): (Wet mass calculation) (Dry mass calculation) Depending on whether dry or
49、wet mass calculation occurs, a small difference in obtained value will result. For example, if a 100 g sand sample contains 5 g of water and 95 g of sand, the wet mass calculation isW w= 5% Whereas, the dry mass calculation isW d= 5.3% NOTE 1 Constant mass is defined as successive weighings after drying at least one hour apart not differing by more than 0.1 %. In many cases, constant mass can be achieved after a test increment has been dried for a pre-determined time in a speci
