This standard specifies a method for evaluating the size weighted respirable fraction in terms of weight percent, which is a means of expressing the content of respirable particles in bulk materials. The method can also be extended to give a means of expressing the content of respirable crystalline silica particles. The method can be used for comparing the potential health hazard of different bulk samples.
