 Sampling

 The act or process of selecting a sample for testing, analyzing, etc. (1)
 Sampling

In the industry, solid size

distribution analyzes are made
from small samples of the same,
usually a few grams or milligrams.

From this you can assume the distribution of

size of the same solid in large quantities as
tons
.
Golden rules of Sampling

The powder should be in

motion when sampled.
Golden rules of Sampling

The whole of the moving stream

should be taken for many short
time increments
These sampling rules must
be applied at every step
of sampling and sample
splitting.
 Verifications
Since the eventual sample size used in the analysis may be
very small, it is often necessary to split the original sample in
order to achieve the desired amount for analysis.
