Completeness and Accuracy of Analysis7.1 The de
16、terminations to be reported in a complete analysisshall be those listed in Table 1. For many practical purposes, aless complete analysis will suffice. In other instances thelocation or nature of the deposit or a knowledge of thecomposition of the equipment affected will suggest the need fordetermina
17、tions in addition to those listed.7.2 The completeness and accuracy of the analysis shouldbe carefully appraised before reporting. In a complete analysis,the summation of all determinations under oxides, acid radi-cals, ether-extractable matter, carbonaceous matter, and com-bined water shall total 1
18、00 6 2%.7.3 A summation in excess of 102 % indicates a positiveerror in one or more of the determinations (or the calculation ofa metal or element as an oxide, or the calculation of a loweroxide as a higher oxide). The converse may be indicated whenthe summation is below 98 %, or it may be due to th
19、e presenceof a substance not identified and not determined.8. Reporting of Chemical Analysis8.1 All data, except water, shall be reported as percentageby weight of the dry sample. Water shall be reported on theas-received basis.8.2 For convenience in calculation, values for oxides, acidanhydrides, a
20、nd combined water may also be expressed on abasis of chemical equivalents. Values for relative equivalentsare obtained by dividing each value of percentage by weight bythe equivalent weight of the respective oxide, acid radical, orwater.8.3 Quantitative determinations shall be reported to thenearest
21、 0.1 % (8.4). When a quantitative determination is madeand a negative result is obtained, it shall be reported as “0.0”with a notation as to the amount of sample used and the methodof determination. When a determination has been omitted, butthe heading of the determination is carried in a tabulation
22、 withdeterminations of other samples, the absence of a determina-tion for any other specific sample shall be indicated by an entry“no determination” or by a dash. The terms, “nil,”“ none,” and“trace” shall not be used. If the qualitative determination showspresence, and a quantitative determination
23、shows absence, theitem shall be reported as “less than 0.1” with a notation thatthis is a qualitative estimation.8.4 In so far as applicable, Practice E29 shall be followed inexpressing numerical results.9. Reporting Results of X-ray Diffraction andPetrographic Examination9.1 All constituents identi
24、fied by X-ray diffraction or petro-graphic examination shall be reported according to the follow-ing rules:9.1.1 Silicon CompoundsReport all compounds contain-ing silicon, except the simple alkali silicates, by their trivialname and combined-oxide formula. Example: acmite,Na2OFe2O34SiO2.9.1.2 Polymo
25、rphous CompoundsReport compounds hav-ing more than one crystal form by their trivial name andchemical formula. Examples: calcite, bCaCO3and argonite,gCaCO3.9.1.3 Multiple SaltsReport multiple salts by their trivialname and combined-compound formula. Examples: burkeite,Na2CO32Na2SO4, and malachite, C
26、uCO3Cu(OH)2.9.1.4 Other CompoundsReport compounds not coveredby the above rules by their chemical name and chemicalformula.

Reporting Results of Spectrochemical Analysis10.1 Results of spectrochemical analysis shall be reported interms of elements present.10.2 The elements may be grouped as major, minor, andtrace constituents, with due regard for variation in the sensi-tivity of the method for the various el

Asatisfactory grouping in terms of percentage of the elementpresent is as follows:Amount of ElementPresent, %Major over 5Minor 0.5 to 5Trace under 0.5While the identification of elements is positive, quantitativemeasurements are only approximations.11.
