1.1 This practice is applicable for sampling condensed steam or water, such as boiler feedwater, for the collection of filterable and (optional) nonfilterable matter using 0.45-m membrane filter (filterable matter) and ion exchange media (nonfilterable matter). As the major filterable containment found in most boiler feedwaters is some form of corrosion product from the preboiler system, the device used for this practice is commonly called a corrosion product sampler.

1.2 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.
