United States13.1.9 work plana plan specific to a particular site; it is forconducting activities specified in the plan.4. Summary of Practice4
16、.1 The drum and its contents are inspected, and appropriatesampling equipment is selected. A clean sampling device islowered slowly into the liquid to be sampled.After the materialhas entered the device, it is removed from the drum. Thecontents of the device are discharged into a sample container.Th
17、e sampling device is then either disposed of or cleaned anddecontaminated.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended for use in collecting samples ofsingle and multilayered liquids, with or without solids, fromdrums or similar containers, including those that are unstable,ruptured, or othe
18、rwise compromised. Special handling proce-dures (for example, remote drum opening, overpressurizeddrum opening, drum deheading, etc.) are described in DrumHandling Practices at Hazardous Waste Sites.6. Interferences6.1 The condition of the materials to be sampled, and thecondition and accessibility
19、of the drums, will have a significantimpact on the selection of sampling equipment.7. Pre-Sampling7.1 General Principles and Precautions:7.1.1 Samples should be collected in accordance with anappropriate work plan (Practice D5283 and Guide D4687).This plan must include a worker health and safety sec
20、tionbecause there are potential hazards associated with openingdrums as well as potentially hazardous contents. See theOccupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Haz-ardous Waste Site Activities for information on health andsafety at hazardous waste sites.7.1.2 Correct sampling procedures mu
21、st be applied to con-ditions as they are encountered. It is impossible to specify rigidrules describing the precise manner of sample collectionbecause of unknowns associated with each liquid samplingsituation. It is essential that the samples be collected by atrained and experienced sampler because
22、of the various con-ditions under which drummed liquids must be sampled.7.1.3 To be able to make probability or confidence state-ments concerning the properties of a sampled lot, the samplingprocedure must allow for some element of randomness inselection because of possible variations in the material
23、. Thesampler should always be on the alert for possible biasesarising from the use of a particular sampling device or fromunexpected segregation within the material.7.1.4 The sampling equipment, sample preparationequipment, sample containers, etc. must be clean, dry, and inertto the material being s
24、ampled.All equipment, including samplecontainers, must be inspected before use to ensure that they areclear of obvious dirt and contamination and are in goodworking condition. Visible contamination must be removed,and the equipment must be decontaminated with the appropri-ate rinse materials. Decont
25、aminated sampling equipmentshould be protected from contamination. This may include, butnot be limited to, storage in aluminum foil, plastic bags,polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, or other means of protec-tion that will not impact the sample quality or intendedanalysis.7.2 Basic Pre-Sampling Prac
26、tices:7.2.1 Review all paperwork.7.2.2 Select the sampling equipment and sample containersappropriate for the material in the drum, as detailed in the workplan.7.2.3 Enter the work zone.7.2.4 Inspect all drums to be sampled visually. Note anyabnormal conditions (for example, rust marks, stains, bulg
27、es,or other signs of pressurization or leaks) that may requirespecial handling. The work plan should clearly define thelimiting conditions under which special handling proceduresshall be initiated. See Drum Handling Practices at HazardousWaste Sites for information on opening overpressurized drumsan
28、d the use of remotely operated drum opening equipment.7.2.5 Stage the drums to be sampled in a designated workarea if they cannot be sampled in their current location. SeeDrum Handling Practices at Hazardous Waste Sites for furtherinformation on staging drums.7.2.5.1 Move the drums to upright stable
29、 positions if nec-essary. Sufficient space shall be left between drums to preventmovement hazards.7.2.5.2 Allow adequate time for the drum contents tostabilize if movement of a drum is required. The settling timeis dependent on the type of material expected.7.2.5.3 Number or identify uniquely all dr
30、ums to besampled.7.2.6 Perform a detailed inspection of individual drums.7.2.6.1 Record all relevant information from drum labels,markings, data sheets, and so forth, in the field log book or onforms specified in the work plan.7.2.6.2 Verify that there are no discrepancies with existingpaperwork.7.2
31、.6.3 Any discovered inconsistency from the paperwork(such as evidence of crystals on the drum exterior) should benoted in the field log book.7.2.7 Slowly remove the bung or loosen the ring that securesthe lid, allowing any pressure or vacuum to equalize.7.2.7.1 Precautionary Notes:(1) If the drum or
32、 pail appears to be under positive ornegative pressure (that is, a slight bulge or dimple in the lid),control the release of pressure until it has equalized. Forexample, if the drum or pail is equipped with bungs, loosen thesmaller bung first since doing so will make it easier to controlthe release
33、of pressure.(2) Pails equipped with snap-on lids may be difficult toopen. Care must be exercised when opening to minimize thepotential of splashing of the contents.(3) If the top of the drum is dished inward (dimpled), itmay “pop” when equalizing pressure, spraying the samplerwith any material that
34、is sitting on top of the drum.D5743 97 (2013)2(4) If there is evidence of a chemical reaction or suddenpressure buildup, the sampler should leave the area immedi-ately and evaluate whether remote drum opening equipmentshould be used.(5) For flammable or explosive materials, the drum andsampling equi
35、pment should be grounded if the generation ofstatic electricity while opening or sampling the drum is apossibility. The drum and sampling equipment should begrounded to a ground stake or to an existing ground (buildingground, grounded water pipes, etc.). New glass, plastic thiefs,or composite liquid
36、 waste samplers (COLIWASAs) may havesome residual static electrical charge due to the materials inwhich they are packed and shipped. The work plan shouldspecify whether grounding is required. See the AccidentPrevention Manual for Industrial Operations for informationon grounding and bonding.7.2.7.2
37、Drums should be opened, sampled, and closedindividually to minimize the risk of volatilization and expo-sure.7.2.7.3 Drums (or Pails) with BungsWhen using a manualbung wrench, cover it with a wipe or cloth to control potentialliquid spray. Use non-sparking tools.7.2.7.4 Drums with Removable LidsLoos
38、en the ringslowly with a manual wrench or air impact wrench. Usenon-sparking tools.7.2.7.5 Pails with Removable Lids (Side-Lever Lock Ring)Release the lever slowly.7.2.7.6 Pails with Removable Lids (Snap-On)Pry the lidloose slowly with a pail lid opener.7.2.8 Manual or remote puncturing or deheading
39、 will berequired if the drum has a stuck bung or the lid cannot beremoved. See Drum Handling Practices at Hazardous WasteSites for further information on manual or remote drumopening.7.2.9 If required, insert a measuring rod (graduated in litresor gallons) into the drum to measure the liquid volume
40、anddetermine the presence of solids at the bottom and estimatetheir percentage. (If minimal disturbance of the contents isrequired, the measuring rod can be inserted in the vent bunghole when working with a bung-top-drum.) The rod can begraduated in litres or gallons for a specific size drum, or it
41、canbe graduated in linear units (inches, centimetres, and so forth),with the liquid depth converted to volume using an appropriatevolume conversion. The measuring rod should be nonreactiveto the waste being contacted.NOTE 1Before inserting the measuring rod into the drum, touch therim gently with th
42、e rod (bonding) opposite from the bung to equalize anystatic charge that the drum may exhibit. The work plan should specifywhether bonding is required.7.2.9.1 For many liquids, the sampling equipment can serveas a substitute measuring device. This can be accomplished bymeasuring the length of the li
43、quid column as it is being heldover the drum and applying an appropriate volume conversion(for example, 1 in. (2.54 cm) equals 1.7 gal (6.43 L) in a 55-gal(208-L) drum).NOTE 2The sampling equipment or measuring rod should be at ornear the temperature of the drummed liquid to minimize any reactioncau
44、sed by temperature differences.7.3 Sampling Equipment, SelectionTable 1 summarizesselection criteria for equipment by the material to be sampled.7.4 Sampling Equipment, Materials of ConstructionEachof the sampling devices listed should be constructed frommaterials that are inert to any materials tha
45、t may be encoun-tered at a specific site. These devices are usually made of glass,stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or plastic. Devices withpermanent coatings or liners of an inert nonreactive material,such as PTFE, may be substituted, if approved by the workplan.7.5 Generic Equipment List:7.5.1 A l
