SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the moisture content of asbestos fiber.
1.2 Breathing 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 'Safe Use of Chrysotile: A Manual on Preventive and Control Measures.'
