    This document discusses sampling techniques and standards for coal quality monitoring. It outlines the "Seven Golden Rules" of sampling, including taking multiple increments across the entire stream, using a sampling implement width at least 3x the top particle size, and proper subdivision and size reduction when reducing samples. It defines precision as repeatability and bias as a consistent error. Bias can lead to inaccurate results and impact coal preparation and quality control. Proper sampling following relevant standards and procedures is important to avoid bias and ensure reliable quality monitoring.

    Sampling
    Why do we sample? (organise picture of
    ship, coal preparation, stockpile, sample
    container)
    1. Monitor quality
    2. Control quality
    3. Commercial
    4. Efficiency
    Sampling Standards
     ISO 1988 – Hard coal - Sampling
     ISO 9411 – Solids mineral fuels –
    Mechanical sampling from moving streams
     BS 1017 – Sampling of Coal and Coke
     ASTM D2234 – Practice for Collection of a
    Gross Sample of Coal
    Seven Golden Rules
    1. A number of increments are required to
    make up the sample.
    2. Increments must be “cuts” which traverse
    or intersect the whole width and thickness
    of the coal stream, usually at a transfer
    point or through a falling stream.
    3. The mass of the increment to be taken
    must be known.
    Seven Golden Rules
    (Continued)
    4. The sampling implement must intersect
    the falling stream of material at constant
    velocity.
    5. The width of the sampling implement or
    cutter must be at least 3 times the nominal
    top particle size of coal being processed.
    Seven Golden Rules
    (Continued)
    6. The increment must never over fill the
    sample collection container.
    7. During subdivision to produce a
    representative sub-sample, size reduction
    by crushing must always precede sample
    division and a minimum mass must be
    retained.
    Precision and Bias
    Precision – a term used to indicate the capability
    of a person, an instrument, or a method to obtain
    repeatable results; specifically, a measure of the
    chance error as expressed by the variance, the
    standard error, or a multitude of the standard error.
    Bias – an error that is consistently negative or
    consistently positive. The mean of errors resulting
    from a series of observations which does not tend
    towards zero.
    Imprecise and Inaccurate
    Precise but Inaccurate - Bias
    Precise and Accurate
    Loss of Fines - Bias

    Impact Of Bias on Preparation
     No-one sees bias unless they look for it!
     Ignorance is no excuse – “the analysis is
    correct for the sample received” is NOT the
    answer.
     If Sucofindo analysis does not match with
    “umpire” analysis, Sucofindo’s reputation is
    tarnished and our jobs are on the line!
    What do we do?
     Treat every sample with respect. Take your time
    and process it correctly!
     Follow the relevant quality procedures correctly.
     Do NOT tolerate spillages – spillages indicate
    bias.
     Use the correct equipment for the job
     Do not process excessive sample masses
     Keep equipment clean. Precondition as required
