Sampling for Chemical Analysis5.1 The material shall be sampled in accordance withprocedures outlined below:5.1.1 The sample shall be taken by cutting across the entirestream at regular intervals during the time of movement of themass being sampled. The quantity to be t
6、aken at each intervaland the number of such intervals shall be so proportioned thatthe total quantity taken shall amount to not less than 0.40 % ofthe total material being sampled.5.2 Treatment of Sample:5.2.1 In the case of nickel oxide sinter 75, the samplerepresenting each shipment or lot shall b
7、e reduced in amountusing a riffle splitter or other suitable mechanical splitter to1000 g. This 1000-g sample shall be placed in an oven at 250F(121C) for12 h to remove any traces of moisture, and thenpulverized to pass an 80-mesh screen using appropriate equip-ment to avoid sample contamination. Ap
