Resource Abstract:
<p>This report describes procedures used by the Iowa District sediment laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey to assure
the quality of sediment-laboratory data. These procedures can be used by other U.S. Geological Survey laboratories regardless
of size and type of operation for quality assurance and quality control of specific sediment-laboratory processes. Also described
are the equipment, specifications, calibration and maintenance, and the protocol for methods used in the analyses of fluvial
sediment for concentration or particle size.</p>
