Laboratory Thermometers

Centigrade and Fahrenheit Scales The value of the Centigrade degree is 1.8 times that of the Fahrenheit degree. Hence to convert ° C. to 0 F. multiply by 1.8 and then add 32° (since 0° C. = 32° F.) To convert 0 F. to ° C., the process is reversed: Subtract 32°, then divide by 1.8. Correction for Emergent Stem Unless

Sampling for Assaying

Sampling is the most important procedure in arriving at the value of an ore. Improper sampling makes other procedures, including assaying, valueless, as the sample must truly represent the ore from which it is taken. Before sampling, clean fresh faces must be exposed in order to prevent the possibility of salting. Having taken a large representative sample by chiseling 3″ to 6″
