(Practice)Standard Practice for Carbon Black—Sampling Packaged Shipments
Standard Practice for Carbon Black<span class='unicode'>—</span>Sampling Packaged Shipments
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This practice is for use in obtaining representative samples of carbon black from the packages in the shipment. These samples are used to determine the average quality or variability of the shipment.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the sampling of packaged carbon blacks for shipment in bags, cartons, flexible immediate bulk containers (FIBC), or other non-bulk packages.
Note 1—The tests to be made on the samples obtained by this practice shall be determined by the producer and the consumer. The specific details of each test method are described in appropriate ASTM methods used for testing carbon black.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This 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.

of other sizes. These packages are loaded into vans in definite patterns agreed upon by the producer and the consumer. These may
be in the form of unit loads, stacks, or individual FIBCs. In each case, a shipment involves a given number of packages, units,
tiers, or mass.
5.2 Samples are taken to evaluate conformance to specified requirements. Multiple samples may be taken to evaluate
conformance or uniformity, or both, of a lot. The number of samples, their location within the lot, and the quantity of the samples
is determined by the purpose for taking the samples. A lot shall be sampled as prescribed at the point of manufacture or at the
receiving point as agreed upon by the producer and the consumer. Samples may be taken from the packages as loaded or as
received. Each sample taken shall represent a unit, lot, or approximately equal mass of material. Generally, it is desirable to take
one sample to represent each 5000 kg (11 000 lb) increment of the lot. For smaller lot sizes being sampled for uniformity, three
samples representing approximately equal masses are recommended. If the uniformity of the lot is suspect or unknown, more

samples may be required. For lots with known acceptable uniformity, one sample may be sufficient.
5.3 The size of the individual sample taken shall be determined by the purpose for taking the sample; the quantity needed to
perform the expected test(s) with enough to repeat a test, if needed; whether the sample will be tested individually or in a
composite; and the quantity needed for blending. For all samples except those taken directly from a bag, a minimum of 4 dm (1
gal) is recommended. The 4 dm (1 gal) minimum sample size is recommended because pelleted carbon blacks tend to stratify.
When sampling directly from an individual bag, the mass removed must be small enough that it does not adversely affect the final
mass remaining in the bag to render it unsuitable for use.
