2、ion.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the kero-sene retention capacity of asbestos fiber by filtering aftermixing and measuri
3、ng the volume of liquid retained bydifference.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two
4、systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions,when working with asbestos-cement produc

10、tention value is an indication of thedegree of fiberization and of the absorptivity of a given gradeof asbestos.5.2 Since the retention of the fibrous fractions is muchgreater than that of the non-fibrous fractions,this test methodmay be used to compare the fibrous content of otherwisesimilar grades
