Summary of Practice4.1 A hollow, sample-probe guide that is comprised ofmating threaded sections and that can be extended to anyconvenient length by the addition of more sections, is in
7、sertedinto 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 eduction.Acore sampler alsomay be used.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice will be used most frequently to samplematerials as received fro
8、m the manufacturer in the originalshipping container and prior to any resin-conditioning proce-dure. Since certain ion-exchange materials are supplied by themanufacturer in the dry or free-flowing state whereas others aresupplied moist, it is necessary to employ two different sam-pling devices. Ther
9、efore, this practice is divided into SamplingProcedureDry or Free-Flowing Material (Section 8), andSampling ProcedureMoist Material (Section 9).5.2 Once the sample is obtained, it is necessary to protectthe ion-exchange materials from changes. Samples should beplaced in sealable, gasproof containers

17、from the lot need not be taken. If they are not in agreement,additional samples may be taken at the option of the partiesconcerned. When the entire shipment oran entire lot consists ofthree packages or less, a sample shall be taken from eachpackage. The number of samples taken with the samplingdevic

For a representative sample of the entire shipment, thenumber of packages sampled per lot should be in the same r
19、atioas the number of packages of that lot in the entire shipment.For example, if the shipment consists of 40 drums of lot x and60 drums of lot y, sample four drums of lot x and six drums oflot y.8.

40、EDHEAD ROOM12. Significance and Use12.1 The purpose of this practice, “to obtain a 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 res
41、in at the end ofthe regeneration cycle will yield a sample from which moreinformation 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 metall
42、ic, organic orsiliceous residues which are not removed in normal plantregeneration, 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 wi
43、thout subfill(supporting bed).12.4 In this practice, the sample is taken in the regeneratedform. 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
44、relating to conversion of the ion-exchange material to the regenerated form may be omitted.12.5 The sampling procedure outlined in this practice willbe difficult in locations with restricted head room above theion-exchange unit.13.

Preparation for Sampling14.1 For units containing a physical mixture of cation andanion-exchange resin, backwash the bed following exhaustion,regenerate, rinse, and air mix as in normal operating proce-dures.14.2 For all other un
46、its, backwash the bed following ex-haustion, regenerate, and rinse as in normal operating proce-dure.14.3 Open access opening on top of ion-exchange equip-ment. Drain water, just to the top of the bed. (WarningIf theion-exchange unit has been operating at temperatures above100C (212F) it should be c
47、ooled prior to opening to avoidflashing.)15. Sampling Procedure15.1 Select a minimum of six 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 b
48、e felt.(WarningCare should be exercised not to damage internalparts, especially in the case of interfacial distributors in mixedbed 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 co

It may takeseveral attempts to perfect this technique and obtain a fullsample tube.15.6 Empty the contents into the sample container.15.7 Repeat steps 15.2 through 15.6 until sufficient sampleis obtained (a minimum of six probes or increments isrequired).15.8 Alternatively, a core sampler (Fig. 7) may be used toobtain the minimum six increments at points located according4The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at
