ASTM C 1843 : 2016 : R2022

1.1This test method is used to determine compliance with Specification C967 for the requirements of moisture in uranium ore concentrates (UOC). A procedure is given to determine the approximate temperature for drying the UOC; normally 110 °C but possibly 165 °C for uranyl peroxides. The dried uranium ore-concentrate resulting from this procedure is then used for performing additional analyses described in Specification C967.
