11.9 Recommendations / Guidelines
Prepare standard sample:
-
Crush sample, as required, and spread it evenly in the aluminium dish.
Prepare special samples:
-
For sensitive or hard to spread test materials (e. g. mercury) a glass fibre filter
is available for use.
-
Spread sample evenly on glass fibre filter and cover is with a second glass
fibre filter.
-
The glass fibre filter is also useful as a protection when splashing materials
are dealt with (each splash falsifies the final result).
