Summary of Practice4.1 The precision required for the sampling and samplepreparation steps is calculated based on the objectives of thetesting, resulting in a sampling plan specifying the minimumweights and number of increments required for each step in theprocedure. Samples are then colle

10、cted, dried, blended, divided,crushed, pulverized, and ground as required by the testmethods to be utilized.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is to be used for sampling and samplepreparation of iron ores and related materials, prior to use of areferee method for testing for compliance with co

11、mpositionalspecifications for metal content or physical properties. It isassumed that all who use this procedure will be trained analystscapable of performing common laboratory practices skillfullyand safely. It is expected that work will be performed in aproperly equipped laboratory and that proper

12、 waste disposalprocedures will be followed. Appropriate quality control prac-tices must be followed, such as those described in Guide E 882.5.2 Adequate methods for obtaining representative samplesfor testing the chemical and physical properties of a consign-ment of iron ore are essential.

Also, the weight loss during pulverizing should notexceed 2.5 %.7. Design of Sampling Operations7.1 Basic Requirements:7.1.1 The characteristics to be determined

22、and precisionsdesired must be known.7.1.2 The weight and special requirements for each testsample must be known.7.2 Overall Precision (bSDM):7.2.1 Overall precision for determining the mean values ofthe iron content, moisture content, and percentage passing thespecified size sieve (in accordance wit

23、h Test Methods E 276and E 389), at 95 % confidence in absolute percentages are asin Table 1.7.2.2 Overall precisions for other characteristics shall beagreed upon between the parties concerned.NOTE 2Nationally or internationally accepted measurement methodsshould be used to determine the characteris

24、tics desired.7.3 Equations:7.3.1 Calculate overall precision as follows:bSDM5 2sw2nS1 11cD1s2DMn(1)orbSDM5 2sw2nS1 11sD1sD2n1sM2nm(2)where:bSDM= overall precision for any characteristic,sw= estimated within-strata standard deviation of acharacteristic,sD= estimated standard deviation of division,sM=

It is recommended in routine sampling to use thesame value of c used in the determination of sw.7.5 Minimum Weight of IncrementThe minimum weightof

28、an increment is calculated by the following formula toensure that a particle the shape of a cube of the nominal sizeshall not represent more than 10 % of its weight, to avoid biasby larger particles:W 5 S3/20! 3 sp gr/5! (3)where:W = minimum weight of increment, kg,S = nominal size of the ore, cm, a

29、ndsp gr = specific gravity of the iron ore being sampled.NOTE 4In practice, the weight of primary increments may be manytimes greater than that obtained in Eq 3.7.6 Treatment of IncrementsIncrements will be handledindividually or combined to form one or more gross samples orset(s) of subsamples from

30、 which test sample(s) for the requiredcharacteristics will be taken. Each gross sample must followthe requirements of sampling and preparation. Each grosssample must have, as a minimum number of increments, thelargest number (n) calculated from the individual characteris-tics taken from that gross s

34、ty (for example,computer controlled). If, however, alternative increments areused, take 50 increments for each gross sample. If one grosssample is to be used for all the determinations, use 50increments.7.7 Special Precautions:7.7.1 Samples for size determination or other tests requiringuncrushed pa

35、rticles must be taken prior to crushing.7.7.2 Samples for moisture determination must be protectedfrom ambient conditions. A subsample should be taken at leastevery 8 h and the total moisture of the consignment should bethe weighted average of these samples. The 8-h period may beextended provided th

36、e sample is protected from moisturechange (for example, refrigerated). To avoid moisture change,samples must be prepared as quickly as possible, with mini-mum handling, and must be kept in sealed containers whileawaiting any stage of preparation prior to the initial weighing.Moisture samples should

37、not be crushed below14-in. sieve (6.3mm) and the minimum weight of samples used should conformwith Eq 4 (8.6.1). Mix sample prior to moisture determination.8. Sampling and Preparation Procedure (See Fig. 3 forexamples)8.1 Collect throughout the movement of the consignment, inaccordance with Annex A1

38、 or Annex A2, the number ofprimary increments, as determined in 7.4 (with a minimum of20). Start at random within the first stratum, then sample atequal mass or time intervals. If the ore is handled in such a waythat there is a cycle to the variability of a characteristic, it mustbe ascertained that

39、 the sampling cycle is not in phase with thehandling cycle.8.2 If the required number of increments is collected prior tocompletion of the movement of the consignment, additionalincrements shall be taken at the same interval until orehandling is complete.8.3 If secondary increments (c) are used, the

40、y shall be takenat equal time intervals with a maximum time such that c is1orgreater.8.4 Increments are treated individually or combined to forma gross sample(s) or subsamples, or both, in accordance withfinal test sample requirements in conjunction with precisionrequirements, as determined in 7.3.1

41、.8.5 At this stage, individual test samples are obtained by acombination of division (weight reduction) (8.6), crushing andpulverizing (8.7), and drying (8.8), as directed in Section 8.8.6 Division of gross sample, subsamples, or incrementmust conform with the following rule:8.6.1 The minimum weight

42、 of the total divided sample mustbe greater than:W25 S33 sp gr/5! (4)where:W2= weight of the divided sample, kgS = nominal size at that division level, cm, andsp gr = specific gravity of the ore being sampled.8.6.1.1 The equation is based on the concept that the weightof the largest piece should be

43、less than 0.5 % of the weight ofthe divided sample.8.6.2 Divide the sample by one of the following procedures:8.6.2.1 A mechanical sampler operated in accordance withthe guidelines in Annex A1.8.6.2.2 RifflingUse a pan the same width as the rifflechutes to feed the ore for division.Add increments of

44、 ore to thepan and gently agitate the pan over the center of the chutes,feeding the ore at a constant rate, so that any ore particle has anequal chance of falling to either side of the device. Select thehalf of the divided sample to be included in subsequentsampling steps, at random. Thoroughly clea

45、n the equipmentbetween samples. WarningUse proper dust collection toprotect the operator from fine respirable dust particles.8.6.2.3 Manual Increment Division (Note 5)Mix the en-tire sample and spread on a flat nonmoisture-absorbing surfaceso that the sample forms a rectangle of uniform thickness.Di

46、vide into at least 20 segments of equal area. With a flatbottom, square-nose tool, take scoopfuls of approximate equalsize from each segment from the full depth of the bed. Thesescoopfuls must have a minimum weight in accordance with Eq3. Combine the scoopfuls to form the divided sample.NOTE 5Manual

47、 increment division, although very efficient for moistor cohesive ores, or both, is not recommended for dry ores, sinter, orpellets.8.7 Drying, Crushing, Pulverizing, and Grinding:8.7.1 Always dry samples before sample preparation, ifpossible, to limit contamination from moist ore sticking tosurface

48、s of sample preparation equipment.8.7.2 Crush, pulverize, and grind samples to the requiredmaximum size in stages convenient to the equipment available.At each stage, reduce the sample weight to the extent that theweight of the divided sample exceeds that obtained by Eq 4.WarningUse proper dust coll

49、ection to protect the operatorfrom fine respirable dust particles.8.8 DryingDrying of any portion of the sample is accom-plished in any heating medium as long as the ore temperaturedoes not exceed 110 C. Where specifications call for a driedsample, it must be dried to constant weight in an oven capableof maintaining a temperature of 105 C 6 5 C. Constantweight is obtained when an additional hour drying at 105 C 65 C does not cause a change greater than 0.05 % weight.NOTE 6The maximum temperature of 110 C may be exceeded,provided it is ascertained
