b) The regulations for pure water have been changed (see 6.1.1, see 6.1.1 in the 2017 version);

c) The holding time for determining the loss on ignition at 850°C using the box furnace oxidation method was modified, and the determination of loss on ignition at 1050°C was added.

Method (see 8.2);

d) The reaction equation was modified (see 14.1.1, 15.1.1 in the 2017 version);

e) Added specifications for the volume of gas measuring tubes and reference tubes (see 14.1.2.10);

5 Sample Preparation

5.1 Sampling

Laboratory samples shall be drawn in accordance with GB/T 10325, GB/T 17617 or GB/T 4513.2.

5.2 Preparation

5.2.1 Crush the experimental sample to pass through a 6.7 mm standard sieve, and reduce it to approximately.200 g using the quartering method. Unless otherwise agreed in the contract or by [the relevant authority]...

An exception may be made if a sample size of.200g or more cannot be obtained due to product form limitations. The reduced sample should be pulverized to...

For particles smaller than 0.5mm, after further reduction, process them to a particle size suitable for analysis using a tungsten carbide mortar or other appropriate mortar.

A 90µm standard sieve is used. Silicon carbide samples are processed into particles that can pass through a 150µm sieve using a steel or tungsten carbide mortar, depending on the analytical requirements.

The sample was taken from a standard sieve.

5.2.2 Before analysis, the sample was dried in a forced-air drying oven (4.6) at 105°C~110°C for 2 hours, and then cooled to room temperature in a desiccator. It is easily hydrated.

Measures should be taken to prevent hydration of the samples.

5.2.3 Wet, amorphous materials containing additives such as resin or asphalt shall first be treated according to Chapter 7, and then handled according to the provisions of 5.2.1 to 5.2.2.

Prepare the sample. When the analysis results of the sample require the original sample as a reference, the measurement results shall be corrected and calculated according to 7.4.2.

5.2.4 For dry refractory materials containing additives such as resin or asphalt, determine the total carbon and free carbon content of the carbonized sample. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different product/service.) the carbonization of refractory materials shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 17732; for monolithic refractories, the homogenized residue after determining the volatile matter content shall be weighed (8.1). When when the analysis results of the sample are required to be based on the original sample, the measurement results shall be corrected and calculated according to 8.1.4.2.
