Iron ores -- Sampling and sample preparation procedures
This International Standard gives
- the underlying theory,
- the basic principles for sampling and preparation of samples,
- the basic requirements for the design, installation and operation of sampling systems
for mechanical sampling, manual sampling and preparation of samples taken from a lot under transfer to determine the chemical composition, moisture content and size distribution of the lot. Sampling and sample preparation procedures for physical testing are specified in ISO 10836.
The methods specified in this International Standard are applicable to both the loading and unloading of a lot by means of belt conveyors and other ore handling equipment to which a mechanical sampler may be installed or where manual sampling may safely be conducted.
The methods are applicable to all iron ores, whether natural or processed (e.g. concentrates and agglomerates, such as pellets or sinters).
