1.2The analytical procedures appear in the following sections:

	Sections

Total Alkalinity, Titrimetric	8 – 15
Sodium Bicarbonate, Titrimetric	17 – 24
Loss on Heating, Gravimetric	26 – 32
Moisture, Calculation	34 – 38
Sodium Chloride, Titrimetric	40 – 46
Sodium Sulfate, Gravimetric	48 – 54
Iron, Photometric	56 – 64
Sieve Analysis	66 – 72

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4In determining the conformance of the test results using this method to applicable specifications, results shall be rounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.

1.5Review the current Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first aid procedures, handling and safety precautions.

1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 6.

1.7This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
