BS 5711 discusses methods of sampling and testing for glycerol. BS 5711-2 is the second part of the BS 5711 multi-series and discusses the methods of sampling.
BS 5711-2 describes methods for sampling quantities of glycerol, either crude or refined, for industrial use, in the course of filling or already contained in drums or in transportable or fixed tanks.
BS 5711-2 on methods for sampling quantities of glycerol is useful for:
The preparation of a representative sample presents difficulties owing to the frequent heterogeneity of the lots. This can lead either to sedimentation of the solids in suspension in the case of crude glycerol's, or the stratification in layers of different densities during storage, particularly if the glycerol has frozen after filling into drums or tanks and has then thawed.
BS 5711-2 provides precautions to be taken while taking the samples. BS 5711-2 provides you with the methods of sampling glycerol's during filling, methods of sampling glycerol's in drums and
methods of sampling glycerol's in tanks. BS 5711-2 guides you on the sampling report. BS 5711-2 helps you with a sampling of glycerol.
