scope:

This method covers the procedure for sampling hydrated lime from various conveyors, points of shipment, and while in various states of storage.

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

Refer to 29 CFR 1910.1200 for regulatory information for chemicals.

The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of R 18 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with R 18 alone does not completely assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; following the suggestions of R 18 or some similar acceptable guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.
