3、 bydetermining the total concentration of water soluble ioniccontaminants by means of a conductivity test.1.2 This test method does not identify the ionic speciespresent nor provide quantitative results on each species.1.3 This test method is based on a volume comparisonamong abrasives of similar si
4、zes.A volume comparison ismore closely related to surface area of the abrasives than is aweight comparison.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concern
