1.1 This guide covers and provides a workflow overview of the necessary steps related to generating a Process Stream Property Value obtained from the application of a process stream analyzer.
1.2 Generating a Process Stream Property Value from the application of a process stream analyzer requires the use of several ASTM standards. These standards describe procedures to collect a representative sample, establish and validate the relationship to the primary test method, and calculate a property value with an expected uncertainty. Each standard builds or prepares data, or both, to be used in another standard. The workflow process culminates to produce a process stream analyzer result that represents a user defined batch of product. The sequence in which the standards are to be utilized is defined in this guide.
