1. A sample must be equiprobabilistic.
2. A process stream is always segregated.
3. A process stream is 3-dimensional.
4. But, it is up to us to perform 3-dimensional, 2-dimensional, or 1-dimensional sampling.

For accurate metallurgical accounting, it is a must to perform 1-dimensional sampling.
For effective process control, it is recommended to perform 1-dimensional sampling.

• Dimension X is sampled all the time.
• Dimension Y is completely represented.
• Dimension Z is represented by grouping several increments minimizing the effect of across-the-stream segregation.
