In the case ofsmaller containers,
20、 a can or carton shall be taken at randomfrom each lot of containers totaling not more than 5000 lb(2268 kg) or fraction thereof. The gross sample shall in allcases consist of not less than three cans or cartons taken atrandom from separate containers. In the case of very large lotswhere the sample

22、ss than 0.5 lb (227 g) shall be taken at random from not lessthan 1 % of the sellers shipping containers, provided eachpackage contains not less than 50 lb (22.7 kg). In the case ofsmaller containers, a “trier” sample of not less than 0.5 lb (227g) shall be taken at random from each lot of container
23、s totalingnot more than 5000 lb (2268 kg) or fraction thereof. The grosssample shall in all cases consist of not less than three 0.5-lb(227-g) samples, each taken at random from separate contain-ers. With very large lots where the sample drawn as above willamount to more than 10 lb (4.5 kg), the per

The inspector shall promptly place thegross sample in a clean, dry, airtight and watertight container,which shall be filled, sealed, marked, and sent to the laboratoryfor test.NOTE 1A trier sample is
25、 obtained by inserting a “trier” into thematerial. A trier is a halfround steel cylinder12 to34 in. (12.7 to 19 mm)in diameter, 6 to 36 in. (152 to 914 mm) in length, pointed on one end andhaving a grip handle on the other end. After insertion, the trier is turnedtwo or three times, and upon removal
26、 a core of the material being sampledis obtained.8. Hazards8.1 All reagents and chemicals should be handled with care.Before using any chemical, read and follow all safety precau-tions and instructions on the manufacturers label or MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet).9. Preparation of Sample9.1 Powders
27、 and FlakesMinimizing exposure to air, rap-idly disintegrate and mix the sample of powdered, flake, orchip product. If desired, quarter down to about 1 lb (453.6 g).Weigh at once all portions for analysis, preserving the remain-der in an airtight container in a cool place.9.2 LiquidsNo preparation o
28、f the sample of liquid, otherthan a thorough mixing, is necessary unless it is receivedduring very cold weather, when it should be allowed to standat least 1 h after it has warmed to room temperature (20 to30C) before it is tested, particularly for its lathering qualities.NOTE 2If pastes or liquids
29、are known to be acidic, and decompositionof sample can result from heating, the samples shall be adequately labeledfor precautionary treatment and warmed to room temperature or othermaximum temperature as agreed upon for mixing and sampling.9.3 PastesStore preferably in glass.

36、water-cooled glass reflux condenser(Fig. 1), having a jacket approximately 1534 in. (400 mm) inlength, with an inner tube38 to12 in. (9.5 to 12.7 mm) inoutside diameter, and not less than14 in. (6.35 mm) in insidediameter, shall be used. The end of the condenser to be insertedin the trap may be grou

(7 mm) above thesurface of the liquid in the trap after the distillation conditionshave been established. Fig. 1 shows a conventional sealed-intype of condenser,
38、 but any other condenser fulfilling thedetailed requirements of this paragraph may be used.11.1.4 TrapFor greatest accuracy several trap sizes areallowable, depending upon the percentage of moisture ex-pected:Moisture Expected, percent Size of Trap, mL0to5,incl 5Over 5 to 17, incl 10Over 17 to 30, i

44、Connect the flask and receiver to the condenser andpour sufficient xylene or toluene down the condenser tube tocause a slight overflow through the side tube. Wrap the flaskand tube leading to the receiver with an insulating cloth, so thatrefluxing will be under better control.13.3 Heat the oil bath
45、with a gas burner or other source ofheat, or apply heat directly to the flask with an electric heaterand distill slowly. The rate at the start should be approximately100 drops/min. When the greater part of the water has distilledover, increase the distillation rate to 200 drops/min until nomore wate
46、r is collected. Purge the reflux condenser during thedistillation with 5-mL portions of xylene (or toluene) to washdown any moisture adhering to the walls of the condenser. Thewater in the receiver may be made to separate from the xylene(or toluene) by using a spiral copper or nichrome wire. Movethe
