Work Item

ASTM WK92083

New Classification for Classification method to determine a habit of amphiboles based on dimensional characteristics in airborne and bulk samples by TEM

1. Scope

The determination of a habit of elongate amphibole particles (asbestiform vs. nonasbestiform) by measuring their length and width in a representative airborne or bulk sample.

Keywords

asbestos, asbestiform, habit

Rationale

Needed or terminology and classification of select minerals. Distinguishing between asbestiform and non asbestiform varieties of amphibole mineral by statistical analysis of length and width elongate mineral particles in airborne samples.
