This test method describes the sampling of both solid and liquid forms of calcium chloride and brine using calcium chloride. It also describes the sieving procedure for the solid form of calcium chloride. The Appendix describes a rapid method for the chemical analysis to determine total chlorides of the calcium chloride sample. SI Units??The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound equivalents may be approximate. It is common practice in the engineering profession to concurrently use pounds to represent both a unit of mass (lbm) and of force (lbf). In the English system@ the pound (lbf) represents a unit of force (weight). However@ the use of balances or scales recording pounds of mass (lbm) should not be regarded as nonconformance with this standard.
