Why should you use ISO 13909-6 - Hard coal and coke- Preparation of test samples?
The objective of sample preparation is to prepare one or more test samples from the primary increments for subsequent analysis. The requisite mass and particle size of the test samples depend on the test to be carried out.
The process of sample preparation may involve constitution of samples, reduction, division, mixing and drying or all or a combination of these. Primary increments may be prepared individually as test samples or combined to constitute samples either as taken or after having been prepared by reduction and/or division. Samples may either be prepared individually as test samples or combined on a weighted basis to constitute a further sample.
ISO 13909-6 provides detailed operating protocols to ensure uniform and consistent collection, weighing and processing of samples. This includes the preparation of facilities and assembly of all equipment necessary for collection of samples, processing and packaging them, and transporting them from collection and weighing sites to processing facilities and to the laboratory for analysis in efficient manner.
