1.1 This practice is applicable to subsampling uranium hexafluoride (UF₆), using heat liquefaction techniques, from bulk containers, obtained in conformance with C 1052, into smaller sample containers, which are required for laboratory analyses.

1.2 It is assumed that the liquid UF₆ being sampled comprises a single quality and quantity of material. This practice does not address any special additional arrangement that might be required for taking proportional or composite samples.

1.3 The number of samples to be taken, their nominal sample weight, and their disposition shall be agreed upon between the parties.

1.4 The scope of this practice does not include provisions for preventing criticality incidents.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
