About This Item
ASTM E2293 is the standard practice for drying of metal bearing ores, concentrates, and related metallurgical materials for the determination of mercury. It provides a practical framework for preparing samples so mercury testing can be performed on material that has been conditioned in a controlled way. For laboratories and operations that handle metallurgical samples, this ASTM standard helps support more consistent results and a clearer basis for comparison.
Overview of ASTM E2293
ASTM E2293 focuses on a sample preparation step rather than a full analytical method. Its purpose is to guide drying of metal bearing ores, concentrates, and related metallurgical materials before mercury determination. That distinction matters because sample condition can influence analytical consistency and the reliability of reported results. As a technical document, it is commonly used to support controlled preparation practices where moisture removal is needed before further testing or evaluation.
Common use cases of ASTM E2293
This standard is typically used in laboratories and quality control settings that work with ores, concentrates, and similar metallurgical materials. It is relevant when samples must be dried prior to mercury determination, especially when consistent preparation is important for comparison, reporting, or compliance-related testing. ASTM E2293 may also be used in sample handling workflows where moisture conditions need to be managed before analysis of metal-bearing materials.
Benefits of using ASTM E2293
Using ASTM E2293 helps bring consistency to sample preparation for mercury determination. A defined drying practice can reduce variation caused by differing handling approaches and support more dependable analytical outcomes. For organizations purchasing or applying standards in testing programs, this can improve confidence in results, streamline quality control, and support better alignment between laboratory procedures and accepted ASTM practice.
