26、pply: 3.1.1 laboratory sample sample intended for laboratory testing 3.1.2 subsample sample obtained by means of a sample reduction procedure 3.1.3 test portion subsample used as a whole in a single test 3.1.4 test specimen sample used in a single determination when a test method requires more than
27、one determination of a property 3.1.5 division division of a sample into two subsamples of approximately equal mass (see Figure 1) 3.1.6 division division of a sample into two subsamples, with masses approximately and times the mass of the original sample (see Figure 2) 3.1.7 division division of a
28、sample into two subsamples with masses approximately and times the mass of the original sample (see Figure 3). 3.2 Symbols m L laboratory sample mass (in grams or kilograms). m S subsample mass (in grams or kilograms). m T specified test portion mass (in grams or kilograms). 4 Principle The procedur
29、es given in this European Standard are designed so that test portions are obtained by the minimum number of division steps, and so that, as far as possible, the operator is prevented from making small adjustments to the test portion and from choosing the particles that go into the test portion. 5 Ap
30、paratus Apparatus shall be as specified in EN 932-1 with the addition of suitable apparatus for crushing and grinding. All apparatus shall comply with the general requirements of prEN 932-5. NOTE In all cases, alternative designs may be used so long as the essential dimensions of width of opening an
31、d length are met, and the devices can be used to fulfil the sample reduction methods specified in clauses 7 to 13.Page 4 EN 932-2:1999 BSI 05-1999 NOTE The dashed lines denote dividing of a sample into two subsamples. A dotted line denotes the addition of a subsample retained from a previous divisio
32、n stage. Figure 2 division NOTE The dashed lines denote dividing of a sample into two subsamples.

33、nd homogeneity of the sample When the moisture content of an aggregate is to be determined, one or more test portions shall be taken prior to drying. A riffle box or a mechanical divider shall not be used. When test portions are required for other purposes than moisture content and a riffle box or m
34、echanical divider is to be used, the laboratory sample shall be brought to a condition in which it is free-flowing. NOTE 1 For aggregates containing fines that segregate when dry, or for aggregates containing lumps of clay visible to the naked eye, it is recommended that they are subjected to sample
35、 reduction in the condition in which they are received at the laboratory, not dried. NOTE 2 If on the basis of visual inspection, the laboratory sample needs mixing, then this should be performed on a sampling tray. For aggregate that contains a wide range of particle sizes it can be desirable to se
36、parate the laboratory sample into two (or more) fractions by sieving and to treat each fraction to sample reduction separately. 6.2 Test methods that specify only a lower limit to the test portion mass For test methods that specify only a minimum mass (m T ) for the test portion or each of several t
37、est specimens one of the following procedures to yield 100 % to 150 % of the specified mass shall be used: a) sample reduction using a rotary sample divider (see clause 7); b) sample reduction using a riffle box (see clause 8); c) sample reduction using fractional shovelling (see clause 9); d) sampl
38、e reduction by quartering (see clause 10). NOTE a) above is the preferred procedure and d) is not recommended for wide gradings. 6.3 Test methods that allow a sizeable tolerance round a target mass For test methods, which require a test portion mass suited to the capacity of the equipment that is us
39、ed, but can allow a sizeable tolerance around the test portion mass (for example, determination of water-soluble sulfates), one of the following procedures that gives a test portion mass within 15 % of the specified mass shall be used: a) sample reduction using a rotary sample divider (see clause 7)
40、; b) sample reduction using a riffle box (see clause 8); c) sample reduction using fractional shovelling (see clause 9). NOTE a) above is the preferred procedure. 6.4 Test methods that specify a test portion mass within a small tolerance For the following types of test methods, which require a test
41、portion mass to be within a small tolerance of a specified mass, the procedure specified in clause 11 shall be used: a) test methods for which the test portion mass is determined by the capacity of a container used in the test (for example, bulk density); b) test methods that involve the manufacture
42、 of specimens (for example mortar or bituminous bound or hydraulically bound test specimens) from aggregate fractions that have to be weighed to the nearest 5 g or less; c) test methods where the test portion mass is specified with a very narrow tolerance. 7 Sample reduction technique using a rotary
43、 sample divider Select a configuration of the sample divider that will yield the test portions within 100 % to 150 % of the specified mass, or within 85 % to 115 % of the specified mass, as appropriate to the test method requirements. NOTE The calculations and schemes of sample reduction divisions u
44、sing a riffle box given in clause 8 can also be applied to a rotary sample divider provided it can divide into a small and even number of subsamples. Place the sample into the hopper and start the rotor. When the rotor is rotating at its operating speed start the vibrating feeder. Check that at leas
45、t 35 revolutions are completed before the laboratory sample is exhausted. If this is not achieved, recombine the subsamples and repeat the sample reduction with a lower feed rate. If the mechanical sample divider is not equipped with a feeder and/or 35 revolutions cannot be achieved, the mass of eac
46、h portion shall be checked and shall be within 100 % to 150 % of the specified mass, or within 85 % to 115 % of the specified mass as appropriate. 8 Sample reduction using a riffle box Put the sample into one of the riffle box receptacles. Spread the material out evenly over the full length of the r
47、eceptacle. Place the other two receptacles in position. Pour the sample from the long side of the riffle box down the centre line of the riffle box. An example of the division steps using a riffle box is shown in annex A. 8.1 To provide a test portion mass within 100 % to 150 % of a specified mass 8
48、.1.1 Calculations Obtain the value of the specified test portion mass m T from the test method and calculate 0,75 m T and 1,5 m T . NOTE If a test method is performed frequently then it may be convenient to display the pertinent information in the laboratory where the sample reduction is carried out
49、, see Figure B.1. Determine the mass of the laboratory sample, m L . Calculate m S = m L /2, m L /4, m L /8, m L /16, until a mass m S is obtained that is less than 1,5 m T .Page 6 EN 932-2:1999 BSI 05-1999 Figure 4 Sample reduction procedure for 8.1 8.1.2 Sample reduction (see Figure 4) If m S is between 0,75 m T to m T reduce the laboratory sample by one division operation and then proceed using divisions to obtain the required test portion mass; if m S is between m T to 1,5 m T proceed using
