1.2The quantitative ranges for the partial decomposition test methods are dependent on the mineralogy of the samples being tested. The user of these test methods is advised to conduct an interlaboratory study in accordance with Practice E1601 on the test methods selected for use at a particular mining site, in order to establish the quantitative ranges for these test methods on a site-specific basis.

1.3The test methods appear in the following order:

Sections

Carbon and Sulfur, Total

10.1-10.9

Carbon and Sulfur, Residual from Pyrolysis

10.10-10.18

Carbon and Sulfur, Hydrochloric Acid Insoluble

10.19-10.27

Acid Neutralization Potential Acidity Titration

10.28-10.36

Acid Neutralization Potential Acidity Titration Low Range

10.37-10.46

Sulfur, Nitric Acid Insoluble

10.47-10.55
