increment (for bulk materials and large units) - CISMeF
Increment (for bulk materials and large units)IUPAC Term
Preferred Label : increment (for bulk materials and large units);
IUPAC definition : An individual portion of material collected by a single operation of a sampling device.
Increments may be reduced individually or tested either (a) individually or (b) combined
with other increments with the resulting composite reduced in size and tested as a
single unit. Increments are created by the sampling operation and are usually taken
from parts of a lot separated in time or space. Increments of a bulk population correspond
to units of a packaged population.;
