Choose the correct answer
A
1 sample per 5 m³ — no minimum frequency
B
1 sample per 50 m³ but not less than 4 samples per day of pour
C
2 samples per day regardless of volume
D
1 sample per batch regardless of volume
Correct Answer
B. 1 sample per 50 m³ but not less than 4 samples per day of pour
Why is this the answer?
IS 456:2000 Cl. 15.2.2: Minimum frequency of sampling = 1 sample per 50 m³ or per day of pour, whichever requires more samples, but not less than 4 samples for a day's pour when volume > 30 m³. Each sample = 3 cubes (tested at 7 days, 28 days). This ensures statistical validity.
