1、Designation: C 1122 90 (Reapproved 2004)e1Standard Test Method forWet Volume of Asbestos1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1122; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTEAsbestos warning was moved from 7.1 to 1.3 in September 2004.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the appraisal of asbestos fibergroups 4 to 72in
3、terms of their occupied volumes whenimmersed in water.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for us
4、ers and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results.
