EN 196-7:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes the equipment to be used, the methods to be followed and the provisions for taking samples of cement, representative of given lots for testing, to assess the quality o
23、f products prior to, during or after delivery. The provisions of this standard are only applicable when samples of cement are: a) required for evaluating the conformity of a cement at any time with a standard; or b) requested for checking a delivery or a lot with a standard, the provisions of a cont
24、ract or the specification in an order. The standard is applicable to the taking of samples of all types of cements defined by European Standards for cements whether they are: c) contained in silos; d) contained in bags, canisters, drums or any other packages; e) transported in bulk in road vehicles,
25、 railway wagons, ships, etc. NOTE The requirements of this standard can also, by agreement between the parties, be followed for acceptance inspections for all non-standardized hydraulic binders. 2 Normative references Not applicable. 3 Terms and Definitions For the purpose of this European Standard,
26、 the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 order quantity of cement covered by a single requisition placed with a single manufacturer, factory, depot or dispatching centre. It may consist of one or more consignments spread over a period of time 3.2 consignment quantity of cement delivered at a
27、given time by a single manufacturer, factory, depot or dispatching centre. It may consist of one or more lots 3.3 lot quantity of cement produced under conditions presumed uniform NOTE After specified tests this quantity is regarded as a whole as meeting or not meeting a standard, the provisions of
28、a contract or the specification in an order. 3.4 increment quantity of cement taken in a single operation of the sampling equipment used EN 196-7:2007 (E) 5 3.5 sample quantity of cement taken at random, or in accordance with a sampling plan, from a larger quantity (silo, stock of bags, wagons, truc
29、ks, etc.) or from a fixed lot, relating to the intended tests. A sample may consist of one or more increments 3.6 spot sample sample taken within a short period of time and at a fixed point from within a larger quantity, relating to the intended tests. It can be obtained by combining one or more imm
30、ediately consecutive increments 3.7 composite sample homogeneous mixture of spot samples taken: a) at different points; or b) at different times; from a larger mass of the same cement, obtained by thoroughly mixing the combined spot samples and, if necessary, reducing the size of the resulting mixtu
31、re 3.8 laboratory sample sample prepared by thoroughly mixing and if necessary reducing from a larger sample (spot or composite sample) and intended for use by laboratories undertaking the tests 3.9 sample for retest sample which is to be kept for possible subsequent tests in the event of the result
32、s from tests carried out on laboratory samples being in doubt or disputed 3.10 retained sample sample taken systematically from regular deliveries (for example for large works), if necessary in the presence of all the parties concerned, to be retained for possible testing in the event of doubt or di
33、spute or subsequent problems NOTE Definitions 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.10 only have meaning in the case of checks made when taking delivery of a supply. 4 General 4.1 Purpose The purpose of the sampling operations is to obtain from a large quantity of cement (contained in a silo, a stock of bags in a war
34、ehouse, truck, etc., or in a defined lot), one or more smaller quantities, considered by the parties concerned to represent the quantity of cement of which the quality is to be assessed. 4.2 Equipment The equipment used, methods followed, and precautions taken may vary according to the nature of the
35、 installation and the circumstances in which the samples are taken. EN 196-7:2007 (E) 6 4.3 Representation In the case of taking delivery of supply, sampling should take place in the presence of representatives of the manufacturer (or vendor) and the customer (or purchaser). The absence of one of th
36、em should not, however, be a barrier to sampling but if this occurs it should be recorded in the sampling report (see clause 10). The sample is normally taken before or during discharge or unloading. However, if necessary, it may be taken after discharge or unloading but with a maximum delay of 24 h
37、. In this latter case the results of the checks shall be interpreted with care. NOTE For various reasons, the cement to be tested may no longer be representative of the product at the time of its discharge or unloading, when a delay in sampling occurs. In all cases, the time of sampling shall be rec
38、orded in the sampling report (see clause 10). When samples are taken after discharge or unloading, the recommendations in the first paragraph above remain applicable. 5 Sampling equipment Industrial installations and the circumstances in which samples have to be taken are many and diverse. Consequen
39、tly, it is not possible to specify a single type of reference equipment against which other types can be validated. Hence, this standard only gives, by way of example in Annex A, a simplified illustration of the devices normally used and which have been found to be satisfactory. This equipment is ei
40、ther portable (ladle, tube, screw sampler, etc.) or permanently installed (screw extractor or other equipment fixed permanently onto the container). The equipment shall be chosen and used in accordance with the following requirements. The equipment shall be: a) approved by all the parties; b) of non
41、-corrodible material, which is not liable to react with the cement; c) maintained always in working order and in a clean state. Care shall be taken to ensure that it is carefully cleaned after each sampling operation (see Note). Care shall also be taken to ensure that it is not contaminated by lubri
42、cants from other equipment used. NOTE However, cleaning is not necessary between taking successive increments from the same cement which are intended for making up the sample. 6 Procedures for taking samples 6.1 General The most suitable equipment for the circumstances shall be used to take a sample
43、, observing the following precautions as appropriate. EN 196-7:2007 (E) 7 6.2 Sampling from bags, drums and containers of small size When the cement is packed in bags, drums or other small containers, the sample shall comprise one or more bags, drums or containers chosen at random from a sufficientl
44、y large stock in order to meet the requirements of the second paragraph of 8.1. 6.3 Sampling from large containers and bulk transport (after loading or before unloading) For all equipment used, care shall be taken not to take material from the top or bottom layers of the mass of cement. The thicknes
45、s of the layer to be considered is at least 15 cm. Precautions to be taken include: a) not to operate in dusty or polluting atmospheres; b) take the number of samples necessary to obtain the quantity prescribed in the second paragraph of 8.1; c) transfer the collected cement into clean, dry and airt
46、ight containers before proceeding with the operations described in clause 8. NOTE The equipment described in this standard (see Annex A) does not allow for sample(s) to be taken during unloading. 6.4 Sampling while loading into bulk transports or silos Sampling may be carried out only if suitable eq
47、uipment is available and if there is access to a homogeneous phase of cement. Take the same precautions as those described in 6.3a), b) and c). 6.5 Sampling from silos When sampling from a silo, an appropriate quantity of cement shall be discarded to remove the hard deposits or unwanted mixtures of
48、different cements that may be in the distribution system. The quantity to be discarded is at the discretion of the manufacturers representative present during the sampling operation. The necessary quantity prescribed in the second paragraph of 8.1 shall then be collected in clean and dry containers.
49、 7 Frequency at which samples are taken and choice of sample type The frequency of taking samples and the type of sample (spot sample or composite sample) depends on the provisions in: agreements between producer and customer; national or European Standard. EN 196-7:2007 (E) 8 8 Size and preparation of samples 8.1 Size of sample to be taken Each laboratory sample (or sample for retest or retained sample) shall be of such a size that all the tests wherever specified can be carried out twice. NOTE In general, laboratory samples of at least 5 kg in mass tend to b
