(d) The sample receivers shall fit perfectly the outlets of the riffle sampler, and shall be of a structure preventing scattering of finely powdered ore. (e) The inner surfaces of the riffle sampler shall be smooth, and samplers with corroded surfaces shall not be used. (3) The samples and dropped to halve the at random to shall be mixed, put into the container, uniformly down the main body of the sampler samples. One of the halves shall be selected be the reduced sample.

Remark: When using a riffle sampler, care must be taken to prevent clogging of the slots.

Standard of reduction shall be as specified in 6.5.6. Remark: The reducer shall be cleaned enough, when reduction of sample which is instead before reduction one, other samples taken from lot shall be had ready beforehand shall be used for cleaning. 6.5.6 Reduction standard The relationship between the particle size for total passage of sample and the weight of the sample after reduction shall be, as a rule, as given in Table 11. Provided that, in the case of increment reduction, 6.5.2 shall be follows.

Preparation of Samples (for Composition) The preparation of samples (for composition) shall be as follows: (1) Partial samples shall be crushed finely to 150 or less and mixed well. From this the required number of 100g or more in weight samples shall be prepared, employing the increment reduction method or a reducer. (2) The above sample, placed in a polyethylene bag and sealed and further in a specified paper bag and sealed, shall be taken as prepared sample. (3) As a rule, composition sample shall be prepared four samples for shipper; buyer, umpire and reserve.

Preparation of Moisture Measurement Sample The moisture measurement sample shall be prepared as follows: (1) As a rule, 1 moisture measurement sample of 1 to 5 kg shall be prepared by the increment reduction method from partial samples for moisture content made by further subdividing the sub-lot and crushing separately to 22.4 mm or less. (2) Small samples for moisture content shall, as a rule, be reduced by the increment reduction method. In this case the number of increments shall comply with 6.3.2; and, if the specified quantity for a moisture measurement sample is satisfied, a scoop smaller by cue step compared to the grain size shown in. Table 5 may be used for the increment size. Remarks: Moisture measurement sample prepared by a reduction method employing a scoop 1 step smaller shall not he multiple-used as composition samples.

Apparatus The apparatus shall be as follows: (1) Drying container: The container shall be such that the thickness of the sample should be 30 mm of less. (2) Dry: The dryer shall be capable of maintaining the drying temperature of the sample at 1055. (3) Scales: The scales shall have a reciprocal sensitivity of 1 five-thousandth or less of the sample weight.

Decisive Value As to the moisture content of a sub-lot, to two, the weighted mean value according to the number of increments of the moisture content of the small samples for moisture which were determined in 7.5 should be calculated and rounded off to two decimal places. The weighted mean value according to the size of the sub-lots, rounded off to one decimal place, of the moisture content (%) of the sub-lots shall be the decisive value of the moisture content of the lot.

8.

METHOD OF DETERMINING THE DRY MASS

The dry mass of a sub-lot shall be calculated from the following formula. Dry mass of sub~lot t = Weight of sub~lot t 1 Moisture content of sub~lot determined by 7.6 % 100

The decisive value of the dry mass of a lot is determined by, adding together the dry masses of the sub-lots of 1 lot and, as a rule, rounding off to four significant figures.
