Summary
The general definition of sampling describes the sampling of material to determine properties, quality, structure or chemical composition. The students are first introduced to the theory of importance of material sampling and their subsequent analysis (sample modification, measurement of mechanical-physical properties, interpretation of results, etc.). The next part introduces the basic technological procedures and principles of sampling of materials in a wide range of industries such as construction, energy, mining, agriculture or pharmaceutical industry.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquaint the student with a general definition of sampling describing the sampling of material for the purpose of determining properties, quality, structure or chemical composition. Students will learn about the importance of material sampling and their subsequent analysis (sample modification, measurement of mechanical-physical properties, interpretation of results, etc.). It also introduces basic technological procedures and principles of sampling of materials in a wide range of industries such as construction, energy, mining, agriculture or pharmaceutical industry.
