9、served iiiBS ISO 3087:2011ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested i

10、n a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commis

11、sion (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical c

12、ommittees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall no

13、t be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 3087 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 102, Iron ore and direct reduced iron, Subcommittee SC 1, Sampling.This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 3087:1998), which has been technically revised.IS

14、O 3087:2011(E)iv ISO 2011 All rights reservedBS ISO 3087:2011IntroductionCurrently, large tonnages of iron ore are traded internationally and a small error in the measured moisture content mass fraction (%) of a lot has a considerable effect on the commercial transaction. The correct determination o

15、f moisture content of a lot is, therefore, a matter of importance for both the purchaser and the vendor.This International Standard does not address the determination of the hygroscopic moisture content of a test sample for chemical analysis. If the hygroscopic moisture content is required to be det

16、ermined, reference should be made to ISO 2596:2006, Iron ores Determination of hygroscopic moisture in analytical samples Gravimetric, Karl Fischer and mass-loss methods.ISO 3087:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vBS ISO 3087:2011BS ISO 3087:2011INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3087:2011(E)Iron ores De

17、termination of the moisture content of a lot1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the moisture content of a lot of iron ore. This method is applicable to all iron ores, whether natural or processed.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are

21、and control apparatus capable of regulating the temperature at any point in the oven at 105 C null 5 C and so designed as to maintain this temperature with a current of air to ensure efficient drying but without any loss of sample, and fitted with a fan that allows for both the circulation and chang

The mass of

23、 a test portion, in relation to its nominal top size, is specified in Table 1, in accordance with ISO 3082.

25、samples per lot Number of test portions to be testedFrom gross sample 4 per gross sampleFrom partial sample2 4 per partial sample3 to 7 2 minimum per partial samplenull 8 1 minimum per partial sampleFrom increment 1 minimum per incrementIn order to minimize losses of moisture to the atmosphere, it i

26、s necessary to perform all the initial weighings of the test portions as quickly as possible after obtaining those test portions.7.2 Measurement7.2.1 GeneralThe moisture determination shall be measured in accordance with 7.2.2 or, alternatively, for ores with 8 % or more of combined water in accorda

27、nce with 7.2.3.When it is difficult to conduct sieving, crushing and dividing, owing to a sample being adhesive or excessively wet, the sample may be predried in accordance with the procedure in Annex A.7.2.2 Normal methoda) Spread the test portion in a layer of nominal thickness not greater than 31

28、,5 mm in the tared drying pan (5.1) and determine the total mass immediately. Record the total mass, the mass of the drying pan, the initial mass of the test portion (null1) and the numerical value of 0,05 % of the initial mass of the test portion.b) Place the drying pan with the test portion in the

29、 drying oven (5.2) set at 105 C, and maintain this temperature for not less than 4 h. Remove the drying pan with the test portion from the drying oven and weigh it immediately while still hot in order to minimize any reabsorption of moisture. Alternatively, weigh the test portion after cooling in ai

30、r in a container having a close-fitting airtight lid. In each case, report the method of weighing.c) Once more, place the drying pan with the test portion in the drying oven, heat for a further 1 h, and then repeat the weighing.ISO 3087:2011(E)2 ISO 2011 All rights reservedBS ISO 3087:2011d) Repeat

31、the procedure described in the previous item until the difference in mass between subsequent measurements becomes 0,05 % or less of the initial mass of the test portion.NOTE 1 The weighing device should be protected from the influence of heat.NOTE 2 Drying times will be dependent on the type of ore

32、under test. For a series of measurements carried out on a particular type of ore, the drying time of the test portion may be specified by check experiments carried out beforehand.NOTE 3 To reduce drying time, a lower layer-thickness of the sample is recommended. It should be specified by check exper

33、iments carried out beforehand.NOTE 4 For convenience, the test portion of mass 10 kg for ore of particle size less than 31,5 mm may be divided into two portions, each of which is subjected to moisture measurement. In calculating the results, the mean of the two values of initial mass and the mean of

34、 the two values of the drying loss in mass should be used.7.2.3 Method for ores of high combined water contentFor ores containing 8 % or more combined water, the following procedure may be applied.a) Spread the test portion in a layer of nominal thickness not greater than 31,5 mm in the tared drying

35、 pan (5.1) and determine the total mass immediately. Record the total mass, the mass of the drying pan and the initial mass of the test portion (null1).b) Place the drying pan with the test portion in the drying oven (5.2) set at 105 C and maintain this temperature for not less than 24 h. Remove the

36、 drying pan with the test portion from the drying oven and weigh it immediately while still hot in order to minimize any reabsorption of moisture. Alternatively, weigh the test portion after cooling in air in a container having a close-fitting airtight lid. Record the total mass after drying. In eac

37、h case, report the method of weighing.NOTE The notes in 7.2.2 apply to this subclause.8 VerificationRegular checking of apparatus and procedures is essential to verify the test results. Checks shall be carried out prior to the commencement of a routine test in accordance with this International Stan

38、dard and at regular intervals thereafter. The frequency of checking is a matter for each laboratory to determine. A detailed record of all verification activities shall be maintained for the following items:a) Sprinkled water measurement v olumenometer;b) Rainfall measurement r ain gauge;c) Moisture
