Terminology3.1 DefinitionsCertain terms in these practices that relateto ion exchange are defined in Terminology D 1129.PRACTICE ASAMPLING FROM A SINGLEPACKAGE AND MULTIPLE PACKAGE LOTS ORSHIPMENT4. Summary of Practice4.1 A hollow, sample-pr
6、obe guide that is comprised ofmating threaded sections and that can be extended to anyconvenient length by the addition of more sections, is insertedinto an ion-exchange unit. A sampling tube is inserted throughthe probe guide and is connected to a vacuum source. Ion-exchange material is removed by
7、eduction. A core sampler alsomay be used.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice will be used most frequently to samplematerials as received from the manufacturer in the originalshipping container and prior to any resin-conditioning proce-dure. Since certain ion-exchange materials are supplied by t
8、hemanufacturer in the dry or free-flowing state whereas others aresupplied moist, it is necessary to employ two different sam-pling devices. Therefore, this practice is divided into SamplingProcedureDry or Free-Flowing Material, and SamplingProcedureMoist Material.5.2 Once the sample is obtained, it
9、 is necessary to protectthe ion-exchange materials from changes. Samples should beplaced in sealable, gasproof containers immediately.6. Apparatus6.1 Sampling Devices, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.46.2 Sealable, Gasproof Containers, for sample storage.6.3 Sample Quartering MaterialsA 0.5 by 0.5 m (

11、pment:7.2.1 If the markings on the package indicate the material tobe sampled is from a single lot (batch or manufacturing run),the number of packages selected shall be not less than 10 % ofthe packages received. When less than 30 packages arereceived, a minimum of three packages shall be chosen atr
12、andom for sampling. If a single lot contains more than 30packages and the order of filling is designated on the packages,the first, last, and middle packages shall be sampled. If theresults of the analysis of these three samples agree within thelimits of precision of the test methods used, further s
13、amplesfrom the lot need not be taken. If they are not in agreement,additional samples may be taken at the option of the partiesconcerned.

19、diameter of thedrum and uniformly spaced.8.1.3 Rotate the inner tube of the sampling device (Fig. 2)tothe closed position, and thrust the sampling device to thebottom of the drum.8.1.4 Rotate the inner tube to the open position and collectthe sample by moving the top of the sampling device in a circ
20、le(about 75 to 150 mm (3 to 6 in.) in diameter) several times withthe open sections forward.8.1.5 Rotate the inner tube to the closed position andremove the sampling device from the drum.NOTE 1The sharp point of the sampling device may pierce the drumliner. Have the point rounded slightly (by grindi
21、ng, filing, etc.).NOTE 2Corrosion may occur after only a few months on this type ofsampling device and will render it unsuitable for resin sampling.8.1.6 Empty the contents into the sample container.8.1.7 Repeat 8.1.3 through 8.1.6 until sufficient sample isobtained.Aminimum of three probes or incre
22、ments is required.If the sample obtained is larger than required, reduce thesample using the quartering techniques given in 10.1.8.1.8 Seal the sample container and affix label as outlined inSection 11.8.1.9 Alternatively, the sampling tube (Fig. 1) may be usedfor sampling dry or free-flowing resin.
23、 Follow procedure givenin Section 9. Loss of resin from the bottom of the sampler mayoccur and cause bias in the sample.8.2 If the ion-exchange material is dry or free-flowing andthe outer package is a bag:8.2.1 Transfer the contents of the bag to a drum which hasa diameter less than its height and
24、will hold the entire contentsof the bag.8.2.2 Proceed in accordance with 8.1.NOTE 3The sampling device (Fig. 2) can allow resin entering theupper openings to fall into the bottom portion of the device, therebybiasing the sample.9. Sampling ProcedureMoist Material9.1 If the ion-exchange material is m
25、oist and contained in adrum:9.1.1 Upend the drum and allow to stand 16 h (overnight) toredistribute any excess water that may be present.9.1.2 Right drum, rock it slightly from several sides foruniform packing and open.9.1.3 The points chosen for probing on the surface shouldlie on a circle approxim
26、ately two thirds of the diameter of thedrum.9.1.4 Rapidly thrust the sampling tube (Fig. 1) to the bottomof the drum.9.1.5 Withdraw the sampling device.9.1.6 Empty the contents into the sample container.9.1.7 Repeat 9.1.4 through 9.1.6 until sufficient sample isobtained.Aminimum of three probes or i
27、ncrements is required.If the sample obtained is larger than required, reduce thesample using the quartering technique given in 10.1.9.1.8 Seal the sample container and affix label as outlined inSection 11.9.2 If the ion-exchange material is moist and the outerpackage is a bag:9.2.1 Transfer the cont
28、ents of the bag to a drum that has adiameter less than its height and will hold the entire contents ofthe bag.9.2.2 Proceed in accordance with 9.1.10.

33、mound of ion-exchange material (such as a thin edged yardstick) gently divide the sample into quarters. An effort shouldbe made to avoid using pressure on the straightedge sufficientto cause damage to particles of ion-exchange material.10.1.7 Discard alternate quarters.10.1.8 If further reduction of
34、 sample size is necessary,repeat 10.1.3 through 10.1.7. A minimum 1-litre sample isrequired for complete analysis.11. Sample Labeling11.1 Immediately upon placing each sample in its samplecontainer, affix a label, cardboard, or linen tag to the container.11.2 Note the following information on the la

Significance and Use12.1 The purpose of this practice, “to obtain a
38、 representativesample from an ion-exchange unit,” implies further testing willbe performed on the sample obtained.12.2 If information as to the operation of a particularion-exchange unit is desired, sampling of the resin at the end ofthe regeneration cycle will yield a sample from which moreinformat
39、ion can be obtained than from an exhausted sample.Analysis of ion-exchange materials in the regenerated formwill permit a determination of the efficiency of regenerationunder plant conditions, a determination of metallic, organic orsiliceous residues which are not removed in normal plantregeneration
40、, and particularly in the case of mixed bed systems,will detect such problems as insufficient mixing and backwash-ing.12.3 This practice will not retrieve ion-exchange materialfrom the bottom 50 mm (2 in.) of a unit without subfill(supporting bed).12.4 In this practice, the sample is taken in the re
41、generatedform. However, in cases where the sample will be completelyreconditioned before analysis, the selection of a point in theoperating cycle for sampling is not critical. In this case, theportion of 14.1 and 14.2 relating to conversion of the ion-exchange material to the regenerated form may be
42、 omitted.12.5 The sampling procedure outlined in this practice willbe difficult in locations with restricted head room above theion-exchange unit.13.

Drain water, just to the top of the bed.14.3.1 CautionIf the ion-exchange unit has been operat-ing at temperatures above 100C (212F) it should be cooledprior to opening to avoid flashing.15. Sampling Procedure15.1 Select
45、a minimum of 6 points evenly spaced, and ifpossible, on a circle approximately two thirds the diameter ofthe bed.15.2 Thrust the sampling rod (Fig. 3) through the ion-exchange material until the subfill or bed support can be felt.NOTE 4Caution: Care should be exercised not to damage internalparts, e
46、specially in the case of interfacial distributors in mixed bed units.15.3 With a gentle up and down motion, slip the samplingtube (Fig. 1) over the top of the sample rod and through theion-exchange material to seat on the upper conical stopper(Fig. 6).15.4 Pull up on the rod to withdraw the sample t
