STE FFEN ROGER LSON AND KIR$iEN <br />' Progress Report <br />October 2, 1992 <br />' Page 2 <br />' The split spoon samples were driven by hand in the field, sealed in their brass containers with <br />plastic caps at both ends and carefully returned to the Denver lab. Upon arrival at the Denver <br />lab, the samples were carefully opened, trimmed where needed, weighed, measured for their size <br />' (height and diameter for volume talcs.), emptied, dried to a constant weight, weighed again and <br />calculated for moisture content. The total volume of the sample and its wet weight were <br />calculated for the converted weight per cubic foot, then the moisture content was calculated out <br />' of the equation giving a final answer of dry weight per cubic foot. <br />The clear plastic tube samples were pushed by hand in the field after marking the surface of the <br />' tailings being sampled. These samples were brought from the field in 2-ft bng plastic tubes <br />sealed at both ends with baggies and duct tape. Upon arrival in Denver, the samples were <br />unsealed, weighed and emptied of the tailings, the portion marking the depth of tube penetration <br />was measured to the nearest 64th of an inch, the wet tailings sample was repmeasured, dried <br />back to a constant weight, re-weighed, then calculated for moisture content. The total volume <br />of the sample and its wet weight were calculated for the converted weight per cubic foot, then <br />' the moisture content was calculated out of tfie equation giving a final answer of dry weight per <br />cubic foot. <br />ENN ~~~ R <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
