Historical Standard: Standard Test Method for Moisture Content of Asbestos Fiber
ASTM D2987/D2987M
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the moisture content of asbestos fiber.
1.2 WarningāBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous. Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated health risks for users and for those with whom they come into contact. In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results. For information on the safe use of chrysotile asbestos, refer to āSafe Use of Chrysotile: A Manual on Preventive and Control Measures.ā
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ^REFERENCE:
