The work of preparing International Standards is normally
11、carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the wo
12、rk. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare Inte
13、rnational Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of t

15、g. ISO 14488:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved v Introduction The characterization of particle properties like size, form and specific surface area requires very careful sampling and sample splitting practices to be followed. The distributions of the values of such properties are related to the n
16、umber of particles, which cannot be increased as in sampling for chemical analysis. Deviations from statistical values occur due to the presence of particles of different sizes and shapes for each component in a powder obtained from a sampled mass of powder.

35、s of sampling and sample splitting 5.1 General Particulate materials consist of discrete particles, each having its own properties such as size, shape, surface area, density and/or composition. Sometimes, the material is well mixed and the properties show only random variations with respect to locat
36、ion in the bulk and/or time of production. More often, however, segregation occurs due to the free-flowing behaviour of the material and/or fluctuations in the production process. This can result in a systematic deviation between the mean properties at different locations and at different times. For
37、 representative sampling, each of the particles in a bulk product must have the same probability of being sampled, in their proportions. For well-mixed materials, a single sample of adequate quantity may suffice. For most materials, some degree of segregation is to be expected. Then, several sample
38、increments must be taken from different locations or at different production times. These are either analysed as such or combined into one primary sample. In most cases, there is no recipe for representative sampling. The quality of the ISO 14488:2007(E) 4 ISO 2007 All rights reservedsampling proced
39、ure can only be assessed by measurement. Often, the primary sample collected in this way is too large for characterization of the required property. Then, sample splitting is necessary until the required quantity for the test is obtained. The total error of sampling and sample splitting consists of
40、two parts: the fundamental error and the segregation error. The fundamental error is related to the discrete nature of particles given their different properties. It is a statistical error, related to the random variations of the properties with respect to location. It represents the lower limit of
41、the total sampling error. This error depends on the amount (number, mass) of sample taken. The segregation error is related to the degree of segregation, or the degree of “de-mixing” of particles according to their size, shape and density. It cannot be predicted, but only assessed by measurement of
42、samples taken at different locations in the bulk and at different times of production. These measurements provide an estimation of the segregation error (see 5.3). Given the complex behaviour of particulate materials, it is required that the complete procedure for sampling and sample splitting be de
43、scribed in a sampling plan (see Clause 6). 5.2 Fundamental error 5.2.1 Number distributions Q 0 (x) For number-based size distributions, the fundamental error expressed as the variance Var or squared standard deviation of a fraction Q 0 (x i ) at any point x i can be calculated using the mathematics
44、 of binomial distributions1, 6 : VarQ 0 (x i ) = Q0,i 2= Q 0 (x i )1 Q 0 (x i )/n (1) If the number of particles in a size class or above a certain size is very small in comparison to the total number of particles taken into account for a measurement, then Poisson statistics may be used for estimati
45、ng the variance or the standard deviation: Var(n 0 ) = (n 0 ) 2= n 0(2) For example, for the number of particles larger than x 90 , it can be seen that n 0= 1 Q 0 (x 90 )n (3) and, since Q 0 (x 90 ) = 0,9 or almost 1, Equations (1) and (3) give approximately the same answers. If the fundamental erro
46、r is the only error, the minimum number of particles n minrequired to obtain a defined maximum deviation maxwith a defined confidence can be derived from: max= z c Q0,i= z c00m i n () 1 () / ii Qx Qxn (4) or n min= Q 0 (x i )1 Q 0 (x i ) z c 2 / max 2(5) where z cis the critical z-value related to t
47、he defined confidence level according to the standard normal distribution and may be obtained from statistical tables. The standard deviation of x ican be calculated from Q0,ithrough multiplication by the reciprocal value of the slope of the cumulative size distribution at point x i : xi= Q0,idx i /
48、dQ 0 (x i ) (6) ISO 14488:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved 5 The coefficient of variation of x ican be calculated from this standard deviation by multiplication by 100 and division by x i : CV xi= 100 xi /x i(7) 5.2.2 Volume- or mass-based distributions Q 3 (x) For volume- or mass-based size dis
49、tributions, the general calculation of the fundamental error is not simple. One way is to use a spreadsheet programme (e.g. Excel) to convert the measured volume-based size distribution of a typical sample into the corresponding number distribution. The conversion principles and equations given in ISO 9276-2 shall be used. This estimation of the minimum amount of sample in view of a stated minimum fundamental error shall always be the fi
