D6913 Sample Masses

D6913 involves a variable number of different sample mass measurements, depending upon whether and how many times the original sample is split during the test.

Tests Without a Sample Split

A test that was not split (i.e., "single sieve-set sieving") requires the following masses:

Tests With One or More Sample Splits

A test that involves one or more sample splits (i.e., "composite sieving") has a different set of requirements:

The following diagram shows the flow of samples through a composite D6913 test:

Dual Split Samples

Technician, test remarks, and test date

These items are part of D6913's mandatory reporting requirements. Note that, if you enter a Technician, LabSuite will automatically add the name to a popup selection list of technicians.

Once you've entered your sample masses and technician/test remarks/test date, it's time to enter your sieves and weight retained on each sieve. Click here for further instructions.
