9、 labelling, sampling and methods of physical and chemical testing for fertilizers. For some years the United Kingdom has participated in the standardization of methods of sampling fertilizers through Subcommittee 2, Sampling, of Technical Committee134, Fertilizers and soil conditioners, of the Inter
10、national Organization for Standardization (ISO). As international agreement is reached on the methods, it is proposed to publish them as Sections of BS5551. The standard is to be published in4 Parts, each Part being subdivided into Sections and, where appropriate, Subsections. The four main Parts ar
11、e: Part 1: Terminology and labelling; Part 2: Sampling; Part 3: Physical properties; Part 4: Chemical analysis. This Section of Part2 is identical with ISO3963 “Fertilizers Sampling from a conveyor by stopping the belt”. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been ac
12、cepted as suitable for publication, without deviation, as a British Standard. Certain terminology is used, however, that is not identical with that used in British Standards. Attention is therefore drawn to the following. Where the words “International Standard” relating to this publication, appear,
13、 they should be interpreted as “British Standard”. Cross references. For each of the following references to other International Standards that are given in the text, there is an equivalent British Standard; these are as listed below: A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary
14、provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

18、he belt is time consuming and interrupts the loading or unloading process considerably. The method should be used only where other methods, such as automatic sampling or scoop sampling from a free fall, are impossible, or as a reference method to assess the accuracy of other techniques. The procedur
19、e given applies to each increment to be taken to form the final sample. The size of each increment, the number of increments or the frequency of sampling is found by reference to ISO . . . SAFETY The sampling method involves contact with machinery which is normally in motion. Safety precautions must
20、 be such that there is no possibility of the conveyor starting up while the increments are being taken. An override start/stop button should be provided at the point of sampling. The sampler should be able to reach the whole cross-section of the belt without undue physical strain. The position of sa
21、mpling should be made as convenient as possible, for example by using a suitable platform. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies a reference method for sampling all solid fertilizers transported on a conveyor belt from the place of manufacture or storage to some othe
22、r location. 2 References ISO . . ., Fertilizers Sampling 1) . ISO . . ., Fertilizers Sampling report 1) . 3 Principle Stopping of the belt conveying the fertilizer. Insertion of two parallel boards or metal sheets vertically down into and at right angles to the stream of fertilizer and to the axis o
23、f the conveyor belt. Removal of the material between the boards or sheets. 4 Apparatus Two parallel boards or metal sheets shaped to the characteristics of the trough of the belt, sufficiently long to project beyond the sides of the belt by500mm and sufficiently wide for the upper edge to be at leas
24、t50mm above the top of the fertilizer on the belt. It is recommended that a metal frame be made to carry the boards or metal sheets. This frame can then be placed across the belt in a single operation. Failing this, two marks should be made on the supporting structure on each side of the belt so tha
25、t the boards or metal sheets can be inserted in the same places each time. 5 Procedure Care must be exercised when samples are being taken from inclined belts. The boards shall, in these cases, be inserted rapidly and at right angles to the stream to avoid backflow. Select a suitable position on the
26、 conveyor belt where the fertilizer is well spread out and the stream stabilized, at least1m from the feed to the conveyor; stop the belt. Do not take a sample if there is a small feed at that time or if the flow has only just started or is just finishing. Once the belt has stopped, insert the two b
27、oards or metal sheets vertically down into the stream of fertilizer and at a sufficient distance apart to give an increment larger than the minimum mass required according to ISO . . . Push the boards gently down until they are in contact with the belt across the whole section. Any fertilizer obstru
28、cting the insertion of the boards shall be pushed: a) in the case of the downstream board, into the sample; b) in the case of the upstream board, out of the sample. As quickly as possible, completely remove the material between the two boards into a suitable air-tight container. Remove the boards or
29、 metal sheets and re-start the conveyor. Make sure that nothing has been left on the belt which could cause damage further down the line. Repeat the process for each increment, the number or frequency of the increments being decided by the sampling scheme. 6 Sampling report The sampling report shall
30、 follow the provisions of ISO . . . NOTEUntil this is published the following particulars shall be included: a) all information necessary for the complete identification of the sample; b) the method used, making reference to this International Standard; c) the sampling conditions; d) any operations
31、not specified in this International Standard or regarded as optional, as well as any factors likely to have influenced the results. 1) In preparation.2 blankBS5551-2.3:1978 BSI 10-1999 Publications referred to See national forewordBS 5551-2.3: 1978 ISO 3963:1977 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4
