EN 1482-2:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard (EN 1482-2) covers the following aspects of samp
17、le preparation, derived from the International Standards and documents indicated but presented in a simplified and condensed form. The titles of the International Standards are given in the Bibliography. Reduction and preparation of samples for analysis: ISO 7410, ISO 7742, ISO 8358 and EEC 77/535 (
18、superseded by Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003); Sampling reports: ISO 5306 and EEC 77/535 (superseded by Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003). EN 1482-1 covers the sampling of fertilizers and liming materials. Figure 1 gives a schematic diagram of the sampling and sample preparation process for solids. EN 148
19、2-2:2007 (E) 5 Figure 1 Schematic diagram of sampling process for solids EN 1482-2:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of fertilizers and liming materials and sets out the requirements for sample preparation reports. It also specif
20、ies methods for the preparation of test samples and test portions from laboratory samples of fertilizer for subsequent chemical or physical analysis. It does not cover the preparation of samples for certain physical tests which require test portions of more than 2 kg. It is applicable to all fertili
21、zers. NOTE The term fertilizer is used throughout the body of this European Standard and should be taken to include liming materials unless otherwise indicated. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

23、Test sieves of metal wire cloth 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 division process of producing a number of representative smaller portions, approximately equal in mass to each other, from a larger mass 3.2 final sample represen
24、tative part of the reduced sample or, where no intermediate reduction is required, of the aggregate sample NOTE Often, more than one sample is prepared, at the same time, from the reduced sample (or from the aggregate sample). One or more of these final samples is used as a laboratory sample or as l
25、aboratory samples, while others may be stored for reference purposes. 3.3 laboratory sample final sample intended for laboratory inspection or testing 3.4 reduction process of producing a representative smaller mass of fertilizer from a larger mass, with the remainder being discarded 3.5 test portio
26、n quantity of material taken from the test sample (or if both are the same, from the laboratory sample) and on which the test or observation is actually carried out 3.6 test sample sample prepared from the laboratory sample and from which test portions are taken EN 1482-2:2007 (E) 7 4 Principle Redu
27、ction and division of the laboratory sample, as necessary, to produce test samples. Preparation of test portions from the test samples by division, with or without previous grinding, or by combination, as appropriate. 5 Apparatus 5.1 General Apparatus used in the preparation and storage of samples s
28、hall be clean and dry and made from materials which will not affect the characteristics of the fertilizer. 5.2 Rotary sample divider, conforming to the requirements specified in EN 1482-1:2007, 5.6.3, or riffle divider conforming to the requirements specified in EN 1482-1:2007, 5.7.2. 5.3 Sample gri
29、nder, capable of taking the whole sample at one pass and, preferably, totally enclosed. It shall have a screen, or other mechanism without a screen, which allows the ground material to pass through the machine into a collecting vessel and away from the cutters or grinding discs, to avoid over-grindi
30、ng. In the case of a grinder with screens, the fineness of grind can be adjusted by the fitting of different mesh screens. Grinding shall continue until as much as possible of the fertilizer has passed through the machine. NOTE If the grinder is of the open type, the moisture content of the fertiliz
31、er can change significantly during grinding. Any machine used for grinding samples as required by this European Standard shall be checked for satisfactory performance. Particular points to be checked are: a) the fineness of grinding achieved; b) the temperature rise of the material being ground (see
32、 6.3); c) non-contamination of the sample. 5.4 Mortar and pestle, of suitable material and size. 5.5 Test sieves, conforming to ISO 3310-1 of nominal aperture sizes 1,0 mm, 0,5 mm and 0,18 mm. NOTE In cases where national regulations or the nature of the material require sieves of different aperture
33、 sizes, these may be used but the fact should be noted in the sample preparation report. 5.6 Sample containers, made of plastics material and/or glass, or any other material of adequate resistance and fitted with air-tight closures. 6 Procedure 6.1 General All operations connected with this procedur
34、e shall be carried out as quickly as possible to minimize the absorption or loss of water. 6.2 Preparation of test samples in their original condition Thoroughly mix the whole of the laboratory sample and follow one of the procedures described in EN 1482-1:2007, clause 6 to reduce (if necessary) and
35、 divide the total mass to obtain the appropriate number of representative test samples, each of about 0,5 kg in mass. EN 1482-2:2007 (E) 8 Reject, by random selection, any test samples in excess of those required and place the remaining N test samples in some of the air-tight containers (5.6). NOTE
36、The maximum number of test samples which can be produced by this method depends on the mass of the original laboratory sample. The minimum number of 0,5 kg test samples which is required depends on the nature of the analyses to be carried out and the number of replicates required. In some instances,
37、 when only chemical analyses are to be carried out and only a small laboratory sample is available, the whole of this sample is used as the test sample. 6.3 Further preparation of test samples which are to remain in their original condition 6.3.1 General Test samples in this category include all tho
38、se for physical testing, those for certain chemical analyses and those which, by their nature, should not be ground. 6.3.2 Preparation of test portions for physical testing If the mass of the test portion required is greater than 0,5 kg, select at random two or more of the N test samples (6.2). Mix
39、these together and, if the mass required is not an exact multiple of 0,5 kg, reduce it to the required size by following one of the procedures described in EN 1482-1:2007, clause 6. If the mass of test portion required is less than 0,5 kg, select at random one of the N test samples (6.2) and continu
40、e the reduction and division following one of the procedures described in EN 1482-1:2007, clause 6 until test portions of the required mass for the test are obtained. During the division process, replicate test portions are obtained and these are suitable for replicate tests without further treatmen
41、t. Discard any unwanted material. The representativity of the sample might be lost during this further subdivision. 6.3.3 Preparation of test portions for moisture analysis Do not grind test portions for moisture analysis if grinding is likely to alter the moisture content of the fertilizer. NOTE So
42、me types of grinding mill can alter the moisture content during processing. For example: single-pass hammer mills with interchangeable screens do not alter the moisture content; static sample mills of the coffee grinder type tend to reduce the sample moisture content unless the processing time is ke
43、pt to an absolute minimum. Cyclone type mills shall not be used as the rapid airflow in the cyclone causes a reduction in moisture content. If necessary, the size of the larger particles can be reduced by crushing. Select, at random, one of the N test samples (6.2) and carry out reduction and divisi
44、on, following one of the procedures described in EN 1482-1:2007, clause 6 until test portions of the required size are obtained. 6.3.4 Preparation of test portions for other chemical analyses Some chemical analyses have to be performed on test portions taken from samples which have not been ground.
45、Reference should be made to this in the relevant analytical method. Some fertilizers, for example ammonium nitrate, might decompose during grinding and it is essential that these are not ground before starting analysis. Select, at random, one of the N test samples (6.2) and carry out reduction and d
46、ivision following one of the procedures described in EN 1482-1:2007, clause 6 until test portions of the required size are obtained. EN 1482-2:2007 (E) 9 6.4 Further preparation of test samples for chemical analysis 6.4.1 General NOTE See 6.3.3 and 6.3.4 for those special cases where the test sample
47、 should remain in its original condition. Take care during the following grinding operations that the temperature of the fertilizer does not rise above 45 C, to avoid loss of ammonia etc. Select, at random, one of the N test samples (6.2) and either follow the procedure described in 6.4.2 or, if a s
48、uitable sample grinder is not available, that described in 6.4.3, or, if special treatment is necessary, that described in 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7 as appropriate. For fluid fertilizers, follow the procedure described in 6.8. 6.4.2 Use of sample grinder Grind the test sample in the grinder (5.3) until all th
49、e sample has passed through, or for the specified time, depending on the type of grinder. To check that the grinding has been adequate, thoroughly mix a small representative portion of the ground sample and sieve it through the test sieve of aperture size 0,5 mm (5.5) and discard it. If the whole of this portion does not pass through the sieve, return the sample to the grinder and repeat the grinding until satisfactory grinding is achieved. NOTE For mixtures containing one or more very hard components, it might be difficult to grind and homogenize all
