Sets out requirements for the sampling of ferroalloys in particulate form from moving streams and stationary situations, including stopped-belt sampling, to provide samples for chemical analysis, physical testing and total moisture determination.
Scope
This Standard sets out requirements for the sampling of ferroalloys in particulate form from moving streams and stationary situations, including stopped-belt sampling, to provide samples for chemical analysis, physical testing and total moisture determination.
Stopped-belt sampling is the reference method for collecting alloy samples against which other sampling methods are compared. Sampling from moving streams is the preferred method. Both falling-stream and cross-belt samplers are described.
Sampling from stationary situations should be considered only where sampling from moving streams is not possible. The procedures described in this Standard for sampling from stationary situations merely minimize some of the systematic sampling errors.
Where automatic sampling trains are used, this Standard should be applied in conjunction with AS 3586.3.
It is noted that some ferroalloys are very dense, and some of the procedures described in this Standard could become difficult to apply.
