16、Weigh 25.0 g portions,being careful to dip approxi-mately 25 g of black from the riffle splitter.NOTE1It is not good practice to weigh the sample by pouring itdirectly out of the black container since the fines and smaller pellets willtend to remain in the container while the larger pellets pour out first.Dipping the black from the container is the preferred technique.7.1.3 Transfer each sample to an individual 125-m sieve.NOTE2Six different materials or samples may be tested when all sixsets of
