This procedure was designed principally for clay, corncob, nut shell, paper, or sand granular carriers and granular pesticide products, but need not be limited to these materials. There may be more appropriate test methods for other types of granular carriers and products.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method is used to determine the particle size distribution of granular carriers and granular pesticides.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

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 specific hazard statements, see Section 6.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
