2. Sampling equipment and incremental samples

When sampling with a spear (sampling probe/sampling device) with several apertures/openings, the food collected by a single aperture/opening can be considered as one incremental sample on the condition that in each aperture/opening the minimum quantity of incremental sample size is collected. Also a maximum of 1 incremental sample per 0.5 m length of spear can be accepted.

• Possibility to sample with ** spear (with engine) ** of 5 metre long: 30 m x 5 m x 4 m = 600 m³ = about 450 tonnes
100 incremental samples of 100 grams – resulting in 10 kg sample
(if the spear has 10 apertures/openings: the batch has to be sampled at 10 sampling points representatively located along the accessible side).
