5.2.1 Crush the laboratory sample to pass through a 6.7 mm standard sieve and reduce it to approximately 100 g using the quartering method. Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, sampling shall be conducted separately.
An exception may be made when a laboratory sample of at least 100g cannot be obtained due to product form limitations. The reduced sample should be pulverized to...
For samples smaller than 0.5 mm, after further reduction, grind the sample until it can pass through a 90 µm standard sieve.
5.2.2 Before analysis, the samples were dried in a forced-air drying oven at 105°C~110°C for 2 hours, and then cooled to room temperature in a desiccator. Samples that are easily hydrated...
Measures should be taken to prevent the product from hydrating.
