2、option or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the collection of settled dust con-taining beryllium and
3、/or beryllium compounds on surfacesusing the dry wipe sampling method.These samples arecollected in a manner that will permit subsequent extractionand determination of beryllium and compounds in the wipesusing laboratory analysis techniques such as atomic spectrom-etry or fluorescence detection.1.2
4、This practice is limited in its scope to applications wherewetted wipe sampling(using Practice D6966)or vacuumsampling(using Practice D7144)is not physically feasible(forexample,if the surface to be wiped would be compromised byuse of wetted wipes).1.3 This practice does not address the sampling des

16、ary of Practice4.1 Wipe samples of settled dust are collected on surfacesfrom areas of known dimensions with dry wipes satisfyingcertain requirements,using a specified pattern of wiping.4.2 The collected dry wipes are then ready for subsequentsample preparation and analysis for the measurement ofberyllium and compounds.5.Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended for the collection of settled dustsamples for the subsequent measurement of beryllium andcompounds.The practice is meant for us
