该方法提供了白水评估程序，以便不同的工厂可以使用基本相同的程序，从而建立共同的比较基础。完整的方法旨在尽可能准确地评估造纸厂白水，并分离纤维和非纤维成分。对于常规测试，只有那些处理总固体、悬浮物和溶解物、与流速相关、用于测定无机和有机材料（如矿物填料、纤维等）的部分才足够。然而，完整的程序应该作为常规方法的极好的定期检查。进行检查时，建议检查时间为1至2周。本方法不适用于环境样品的分析。请参考为监管目的收集的环境样品分析而设计的适当公布程序。 如果对选择哪种方法有疑问，请参考您的样品的相应（联邦登记代码）CFR参考。

This method presents procedures of white water evaluation so that different mills may use substantially the same procedures and thus establish a common basis of comparison. The complete method is intended to evaluate as accurately as possible paper mill white waters and to separate fibrous and nonfibrous constituents. For routine testing only those parts dealing with total solids, suspended and dissolved, correlated with rate of flow, for determination of inorganic and organic materials as mineral fillers, fibers, etc., may be adequate. The complete procedure, however, should serve as an excellent periodic check of routine methods. When checks are made, it is recommended that they cover periods of 1 to 2 weeks.This method is not intended for the analysis of environmental samples. Please refer to the proper published procedures designed for the analysis of environmental samples collected for regulatory purposes. If in doubt as to which method to choose, refer to the appropriate (Code of Federal Register) CFR reference for your samples.
