7.3 Weighing out the sample
 Take a representative sample, see note in chapter 7.2.
 Mix it well.
 Divide up the sample in a sample divider (e. g. Pfeuffer riffle sample divider EBC)
 Weigh out 100 g of the sample on a laboratory balance with an accuracy of 0.1 g.
This means you can immediately specify the constituents of the sample in percent when weighing
back the individual fractions.
If you are using a balance with a percentage program, it will be sufficient to make an approximate
weighing of 100 g.
