23、39:2012-01 EN 13039:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a routine method for determining the organic matter and the ash content of soil improvers and growing media. This method is not applicable to liming materials and preformed materials such as mineral wool slabs and foam slabs. Th
24、e requirements of the standard may differ from the national legal requirements for the declaration of the products concerned. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For un
25、dated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

27、fraction of a sample which is free from water and inorganic substances The organic matter for the purposes of this standard is taken as equal to loss on dry incineration at (450 25) C. 3.2 ash residual mineral matter remaining after the destruction of organic matter/material by controlled burning 4
28、Principle The test portion is dried at (103 2) C, then ashed at (450 25) C. The ash is determined as the residue on ignition. The organic matter is taken to be the loss of mass on ignition. Both are expressed as a percentage by mass of the dried sample. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Drying oven, capable of mainta
29、ining a temperature of (103 2) C. 5.2 Electric muffle furnace, capable of maintaining temperatures of (450 25) C and (550 25) C. DIN EN 13039:2012-01 EN 13039:2011 (E) 5 5.3 Basin, made from fused silica or quartz, of shallow form with a flat bottom, capable of holding a sample of 5 g. Typical dimen
30、sions are 70 mm width and 20 mm height. 5.4 Desiccator containing an active drying agent. 5.5 Analytical balance with a scale interval 0,001 g. 6 Procedure 6.1 Test sample Prepare the test sample in accordance with Clause 9 of EN 13040:2007. 6.2 Preparation of the basin Heat the basin (see 5.3) for
31、16 h in the muffle furnace (see 5.2) at (550 25) C. Cool in the desiccator (see 5.4). After cooling, weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Note the mass of the basin m0. NOTE The basin is heated to (550 25) C to ensure that all volatile material is removed prior to the test. 6.3 Determination Spread evenly
32、over the surface of the basin (see 5.3) approximately 5 g of the test sample (see 6.1) and dry in the oven (see 5.1) at a temperature of (103 2) C for 4 h. Allow the basin and contents to cool to room temperature in the desiccator (see 5.4) and weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Place the basin and conte
33、nts in the oven (see 5.1) maintained at (103 2) C for a further 1 h. Allow the basin and contents to cool to room temperature in the desiccator (see 5.4) and weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Repeat the operations of heating, cooling and weighing until the difference between two successive weightings is
34、 less than 0,01 g. Note the mass of the basin and dried sample m1. Place the basin and contents in the cool muffle furnace (see 5.2) and raise the temperature over approximately 1 h to (450 25) C. Maintain this temperature for 6 h. Allow the basin and contents to cool to room temperature in the desi
35、ccator (see 5.4) and weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Place the basin and contents into the muffle furnace (see 5.2) maintained at (450 25) C for a further 1 h. Allow the basin and contents to cool to room temperature in the desiccator (see 5.4) and weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Repeat the operations o
36、f heating, cooling and weighing until the difference between two successive weightings is less than 0,01 g. Note the mass of the basin and sample after ignition m2. 7 Calculation and expression of results The organic matter content, expressed as a percentage by mass of the dried sample, is given by
37、the following equation: 1000121om=mmmmW (1) The ash content, expressed as a percentage by mass of the dried sample, is given by the following equation: DIN EN 13039:2012-01 EN 13039:2011 (E) 6 1000102ash=mmmmW (2) where Wom is the organic matter content, in % m/m; Washis the ash content, in % m/m;m0
38、is the mass of the basin, in g; m1is the mass of the basin and the sample after drying in grams; m2is the mass of the basin and the sample after ignition in grams. 8 Precision The repeatability and reproducibility of the organic matter (ash) of the sample measured in 2 separately prepared samples sh
39、ould be in accordance with Table A.1. A summary of the results of an interlaboratory trial to determine the precision of the method in accordance with ISO 5725 is given in Annex A. The values derived from the interlaboratory trial may not be applicable to concentrations and matrices other than those
40、 given. 9 Test report The test report shall include the following: a) a complete identification of the sample; b) a reference to this European Standard; c) the results expressed in accordance with Clause 7; d) any unusual features noticed during the determination; e) details of any operation not spe
41、cified in the European Standard or regarded as optional, as well as any factor which may have affected the results.
