9、ational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical com- mittees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
10、 been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liai- son with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical
11、 standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by
12、at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 123 was p
13、repared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee SC 3, Raw materials (including latex) for use in the rubber industry. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 123:1985), which has been technically revised. The principal differences lie in mor
14、e precise definitions and specifications for the frequency of sampling. In addition, the method of homogenizing and sampling latex in drums fitted with bungs has been modified to take account of practical considerations.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 123:2001(E) 1 Rubber latex Sampling WARNING Persons u
15、sing this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure complian
16、ce with any national regulatory conditions. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies procedures for sampling natural rubber latex concentrate and for sampling syn- thetic rubber latices and artificial latices. It is also suitable for sampling rubber latex contained in drums, tank cars or tanks.
17、 The procedures may also be used for sampling plastics dispersions. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

21、of latex processed or produced under conditions which are presumed uniform NOTE A lot may be in one or more containers or vessels. For example, it may consist of several drums of latex. 3.2 sample a quantity of latex that has been drawn from a lot 3.3 laboratory sample a quantity of latex intended f
22、or laboratory inspection and testing and that is representative of the lotISO 123:2001(E) 2 3.4 test sample a quantity of latex suitable for testing, obtained by straining the laboratory sample NOTE The laboratory sample, not the test sample, is used for the determination of coagulum content (see 6.
23、5.5). 3.5 test portion a quantity of latex taken from the test sample (3.4) or laboratory sample (3.3), for the purpose of a single specific test, for example the amount actually weighed out from the test sample for a single determination of total solids content 3.6 coagulum content/sieve residue co
24、arse foreign matter and flocculated rubber retained under the conditions of the test (ISO 706) on a filter with aver- age aperture width of complying with ISO 3310-1 NOTE In the context of examination of latex shipments, bulk deliveries, etc., this is what is generally understood by “coagulum”. Piec
25、es of latex skin and coagulated rubber should not be included in the laboratory sample. 4P r i n c i p l e A representative laboratory sample is taken from the bulk of the latex. The test sample is prepared by straining the laboratory sample. 5 Apparatus No part of the equipment to be immersed in th

42、f a drum roller as specified in 6.4.1.5. 6.4.1.2 If the drum is of the open-head type, remove the end head and agitate the contents for at least , pref- erably by means of a perforated stainless-steel plunger (5.1.1). 6.4.1.3 Alternatively, agitate the contents of the drum by means of the motor-driv
43、en stirrer (5.1.2) for to ho- mogenize the latex. Avoid excessive stirring. 6.4.1.4 If the drum is of the closed-head type fitted with a bung and contains less than air space, then manual or mechanical homogenization is impractical. Lay the drum on its side and roll it to and fro briskly for not les
44、s than . Turn the drum so that it is standing on the end which was formerly uppermost and allow to stand for about , then repeat the rolling operation for a further . 6.4.1.5 Alternatively, if a single drum is to be sampled it is permissible to homogenize the latex by rolling the drum on a drum roll
45、er for at about ( ). 6.4.2 Taking the laboratory sample (see 3.3) 6.4.2.1 General After the latex has been homogenized (see 6.4.1), take the sample without delay as specified in 6.4.2.2 or 6.4.2.3, using a clean, dry sampling tube (5.2.1). Take care to avoid the inclusion of any gross coagulum or sk
46、in with the sample. 6.4.2.2 Sampling from a single drum Insert the sampling tube (5.2.1), open at both ends, slowly into the drum until it reaches the bottom. Then close the upper end of the tube with the stopper, withdraw it and transfer the contents to a clean, dry sample bottle (5.4). Re- peat th
47、e operation until sufficient latex has been obtained to fill the sample bottle, leaving an air space of to of the volume (to allow for thermal expansion), and screw the cap firmly onto the bottle. NOTE It is important that the sample bottle is almost full and airtight. 6.4.2.3 Sampling from several
48、drums Where sampling of the same lot of latex from several drums is to be carried out, for example in sampling (see 6.2.3), and it has been agreed that the samples may be blended, the amount of latex withdrawn from each drum may be reduced proportionately. In this case, the individual samples shall
49、be combined in a beaker (5.3) and stirred briefly to ensure uniformity and the resultant laboratory samples bottled (multiple samples may be required, for example for arbitration). 6.5 Sampling from tank cars and tanks 6.5.1 General Samples are initially taken from different depths to ensure that the latex is homogeneous. NOTE For fixed tanks, establishing suitable conditions which result in homogeneity will make it unnecessary to check for homogeneity each time a sample is taken. 5 min 10 min 2% 10 min 15 min 10 min 24 h 1 rad/s 10 r/min 2% 5% 10 %ISO 12
