5.2 Fill Sample Chamber
On a flat surface away from the case, place the sieve on the sample chamber
and fill the sieve with material. Push the material through the sieve using
fingers or tool. Do not pack the material into the sample chamber, only fill it.
Sample depth measurement range is 0.4” (~1cm) to 1.0” (2.5cm). NOTE
Once the material is pushed through the sieve, tap the sample chamber/sieve on
a hard surface and remove the sieve. Brush away any material on the side or
bottom of the sample chamber. Take care to not let the base detach from the
sample chamber cylinder while moving the filled sample chamber. It is
advisable to hold the sample chamber at the base when moving the chamber to
the scale or placing on contact pins.
5.2.1 Weigh the Sample
