16、he product is cast into blocks or hogs, the supplier and thepurchaser shall agree mutually as to the method to be followedin sampling such shapes.9.3.2 Sampling Pig LeadA portion representative of thetotal shipment shall be selected at random for the final sample.For lots containing at least 100 000
17、 lb (45 400 kg) of pig lead,one pig shall be taken from every 20 000 lb (9080 kg). Forsmaller lots, a total of five pigs shall be taken.9.3.3 Sample PreparationEach pig shall be cleaned thor-oughly to rid the surface of dirt or adhering foreign materialprior to sampling by one of the following metho
18、ds: sawing,drilling, or melting.9.3.3.1 SawingThe pigs selected shall be sawed com-pletely through as illustrated in Fig. 1. The sawings from thepigs shall be mixed thoroughly and quartered, and the samplesfor analysis taken from the mixed material. The sawings mustbe free of extraneous material int
19、roduced from the saw blade.All sawings shall be treated with a strong magnet in order toremove iron introduced by sawing.9.3.3.2 DrillingThe pigs shall be drilled at least halfwaythrough from two opposite sides as illustrated in Fig. 2. A drillof about12 in. (12.7 mm) in diameter shall be used. In d
20、rilling,the holes shall be spaced along a diagonal line from one cornerof the pig to the other. Holes may be made in a single pig or ineach of several pigs placed as illustrated in Fig. 2.
