BS 5598-1:1978

This standard BS 5598-1:1978 Methods of sampling and test for halogenated hydrocarbons is classified in these ICS categories:

• 71.080.20 Halogenated hydrocarbons

This International Standard specifies sampling procedures for liquid halogenated hydrocarbons for industrial use, with the exception of liquefied gases.

NOTE For the sampling of liquid halogenated hydrocarbons intended to be used as raw materials for paints and varnishes, see ISO 842, Raw materials for paints and varnishes — Sampling.

The methods are applicable to products not contaminated by an extraneous phase (water, solid deposits, etc). However, accidental pollution is also considered and an initial examination is provided for checking phase homogeneity.

Three cases are considered, namely:

• small containers (cans, drums);
• large containers (cylinders, tanks);
• continuous sampling.

Sampling from drums, cans and large containers as well as continuous sampling. Does not include sampling of liquefied gases.
