test portion Explanation: Analytical chemistry. Confine the use of the term SAMPLE to its statistical concept: If a potential exists for a sampling error due to the heterogeneity of a population, the term SAMPLE with an appropriate modifier to indicate its position in the sampling scheme should be used (i.e., increment, primary sample, secondary sample, etc., laboratory sample, test sample, test portion). test portion Synonym: analytical portion The amount or volume of the test sample taken for analysis, usually of known weight or volume. https://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/1990/pdf/6206x1193.pdf Reference: http://goldbook.iupac.org/T06284.html |

haul or catch? Explanation: Found this in the dictionary in the link below. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2016-10-21 22:02:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think of "greep" as something you can do with your hands.

peer agreement (net): -1sampling increment Explanation: I don't agree with this translation, but it is useful, as it shows what the word means in Dutch: "Grip (draft--NEN 5709) The quantity of material that is removed from a batch in one go, but which is combined with other grips into a mixture sample for the purpose of analysis. " (http://www.sikb.nl/doc/AP04/AP04-V_version_4_050303_English.... ) "Greep (naar NEN 7360) De hoeveelheid materiaal die in één handeling uit een partij is genomen, maar voor analyse wordt samengevoegd met andere grepen tot een mengmonster." (http://www.aquaminerals.com/en/images/Protocol_monsterneming... ) ***************************** However, the following ref seems to be better English: "3.10 sampling increment quantity of material taken from a batch by one operation of the sampling apparatus " ("norm NEN-EN 13383-2 Waterbouwsteen - Deel 2: Beproevingsmethoden Publicatie uitsluitend voor commentaar" @ https://www.nen.nl/pdfpreview/preview_132338.pdf ) And what looks like the Dutch original of the above: "A.2.27 Greep Een hoeveeheid material die in één handeling uit een partij is genomen." If you have money to waste, I bet nen.nl sells a decent translation of the "grip" text above. ***************************** re "sampling increment", see e.g.: "3 Definitions 3.4 representative sample A bulk sample created by taking sampling increments according to a sampling plan, which makes it likely that the quality of this sample corresponds to that of the batch.” 4 Principles of sampling ----------Sampling variation caused by the heterogenity of the batch is reduced to an acceptable level by taking an adequate number of sampling increments. ----------- Sampling increments are selected at random from all parts of the batch that the bulk sample is to represent." (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web... ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day11 hrs (2016-10-22 21:25:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Where practical the homogenisation of the whole material is the preferred sampling process. However, where either the total amount of the seized material or the number of multiple packages involved excludes this preferred option, then an incremental sampling process (taking random increments from the whole seizure and combining them to produce a primary sample(s)) should be applied. Assuming a laboratory wishes to quantitatively analyse a seizure of one of the named powdered drugs or cannabis resin with a ‘typical’ heterogeneity, a primary sample of 15 × 1 g increments is generally appropriate. The probability of obtaining a single portion from the bulk material that perfectly represents the concentration of the parent material is extremely unlikely. If several portions (increments) are taken, their characteristics will vary due to the heterogeneity of real materials, but the average of the concentrations of individual portions will provide a better estimate of the concentration of the whole material. Guidelines on Sampling of Illicit Drugs for Quantitative Analysis It was found that the sampling problems caused by heterogeneity can be solved by using an incremental sampling protocol."
