1、Designation: D4135 82 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Practice forSampling Phytoplankton With Depth-Integrating Samplers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4135; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the procedures for obtaining quan-titative samples of a phytoplankton community by use ofdepth

3、-integrating sampler. The method is suitable for use inflowing waters.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the

4、 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4137 Practice for Preserving Phytoplankton Samples3. Summary of Practice3.1 A depth-integrated sample is collected by means of asampler that integrates stream discharge as a function of depth.The veloc

5、ity of flow in a stream, as well the density ofphytoplankton, varies both vertically and horizontally. Depthintegration is used to collect a sample that is weightedaccording to the velocity at each increment of depth.3Thephytoplankton may be preserved as dictated by the objectivesof the study.4. Sig

6、nificance and Use4.1 The advantages of the depth-integrating samplers are asfollows:4.1.1 The samplers provide the only means by which arepresentative sample of phytoplankton can be obtained from astream.4.1.2 The variety of sampler designs result in the availabil-ity of a sampler that can be used i

7、n virtually all velocities offlow.4.1.3 Samples of known volumes can be obtained.4.1.4 A quantitative sample is obtained. Nanno- and ultra-plankton are not lost from the sampling device.4.1.5 Some of the samplers can be used in water up to 55 mdeep.4.1.6 Many of the samplers are light-weight and can

8、 be usedwithout auxiliary equipment.4.2 The disadvantages of the depth-integrating samplers areas follows:4.2.1 The samplers can be used only in flowing streamshaving a velocity greater than 1.5 ft3/s.4.2.2 Some of the samplers are heavy and require the use ofauxiliary equipment, such as a crane wit

9、h hoist.4.2.3 The collection of samples can be very time-consuming.4.3 There are several special considerations that shall beobserved when using depth-integrating samplers. They are asfollows:4.3.1 The nozzle of the sampler should be inspected peri-odically for chips, cracks, or other signs of damag

10、e andreplaced as necessary.4.3.2 The sample from each vertical profile must be com-bined with other similar samples in a common container. If thecombined sample is subsequently subdivided, it must bethoroughly mixed before doing so.5. Apparatus5.1 Several depth-integrating samplers are in widespread

11、use in water-quality studies and have been described bySubcommittee D19.07 on Sedimentation,4(Figs. 1-3). All thesamplers have the same basic design. They consist of ahydrodynamically designed, weighted body into which isplaced the sample container. The rear of the sampler containsseveral vanes for

12、stabilizing the sampler into the direction ofstream flow. The size and weight of the samplers vary. Thecommon sampler types have been designated as DH-49,DH-74, P-61, and D-77 by Subcommittee D19.07.Fig. 31This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E47 on BiologicalEffects and Environ

Procedure6.1 One of the best sampling techniques currently acceptedby hydrologists for use in such situations is the equal-transitrate (ETR) method.5In this method, the standard suspended-sediment sampler is used to collect a discha

17、rge-weightedsample. Samples are taken at a number of equally spacedverticals in the cross section. The transit rate of the sampler,which is the rate of movement of the sampler from the watersurface to the stream bed and back to the surface, should be thesame at all verticals. Samples collected in ea
