Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the man

33、ufacturing process, other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human

34、 consumption, taking into account raw water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the products not stated in this document. Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the cu

35、rrent production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 4.2 Composition of commercial product The product shall contain between a mass fraction of

36、20 % and 40 % hexafluorosilicic acid, the remainder being water. The concentration of hexafluorosilicic acid shall be within 5 % of the manufacturers declared value. 4.3 Impurities and main by-products The product shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 1. Table 1 Impurities Impurity Li

39、s used in the manufacturing process are free of them. For parametric values of hexafluorosilicic acid on trace metal content in drinking water, see 1. 5 Test methods 5.1 General SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Hexafluorosilicic acid shall be handled with extreme care, see B.1. All equipment in contact with hexaf

40、luorosilicic acid shall be made of plastics (for example polyethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); avoid contact with glass. 5.2 Sampling 5.2.1 General Observe the general recommendations of ISO 3165 and take account of ISO 6206. The sampling is carried out at the premises of the manufacturer

41、of the hexafluorosilicic acid unless the customer has adequate facilities to carry out this operation safely at his own premises. 5.2.2 Sampling from drums and bottles 5.2.2.1 General 5.2.2.1.1 Mix the contents of each container to be sampled by shaking the container, by rolling it or by rocking it

42、from side to side, taking care not to damage the container or spill any of the liquid. 5.2.2.1.2 If the design of the container is such (for example, a narrow-necked bottle) that it is impracticable to use a sampling implement, take a sample by pouring after the contents have been thoroughly mixed.

43、Otherwise, proceed as described in 5.2.2.1.3. BS EN 12175:2013EN 12175:2013 (E) 9 5.2.2.1.3 Examine the surface of the liquid. If there are signs of surface contamination, take samples from the surface as described in 5.2.2.2; otherwise, take samples as described in 5.2.2.3. 5.2.2.2 Surface sampling

44、 Take a sample using a suitable ladle. Lower the ladle into the liquid until the rim is just below the surface, so that the surface layer runs into it. Withdraw the ladle before it fills completely and allow any liquid adhering to the ladle to drain off. If necessary, repeat this operation so that,

45、when the other selected containers have been sampled, in a similar manner, the total volume of sample required for subsequent analysis is obtained. 5.2.2.3 Procedure of sampling from a container The samples for testing the hexafluorosilicic acid shall be taken by means of a sampling tube, for exampl

46、e. A tube made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), approximately 1 500 mm long, with 14,5 mm inside diameter and 1,25 mm wall thickness tapering to an inside diameter of approximately 5 mm at one end, may be used for this; fit a rubber tube approximately 200 mm long which can be closed by means of a

47、pinch clip, to the other end. When taking the samples, insert the sampling tube as far as possible into the acid to be tested with the clip released. Do this slowly so that the levels of liquid in the sampling tube and in the acid container are the same. Close the clip, withdraw the sampling tube fr

48、om the acid, allow any liquid adhering at the outside of the tube to drain off, and by releasing the clip discharge the contents of the sampling tube into a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bottle of 1 000 ml nominal capacity provided with a ground PTFE stopper. Stopper the bottle immediately after fi

49、lling each with the content of the sampling tube. After shaking thoroughly, fill from the collective sample three PTFE bottles, each with a volume of approximately 250 ml and provided with a ground PTFE stopper. Stopper, seal and label the bottles. One of these samples is to be tested by the consignee; the other two shall be kept in case subsequent complaint requires further testing to be carried out. 5.2.3 Sampling from tanks and tankers From each access point, take samples as follows: a) from the surface of the liquid, using
