1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of filterable and nonfilterable matter in drinking, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. The practical range of the determination of nonfilterable particulate matter is 4 to 20000 mg/L. The practical range of the determination of filterable matter is 10 to 20000 mg/L.

1.2 Since the results measured by this test are operationally defined, careful attention must be paid to following the procedure as specified.

1.3 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. For a specific hazard statement, see Section 9.
