Summary of Guide4.1 This guide discusses important criteria which should be considered when choosing sampling equipment.4.1.1 Criteria discussed in this document include physical and chemical compatibility, sample matrix
38、, sample volume, physicalrequirements, ease of operation and decontamination. Costs are considered, where appropriate.4.2 A limited list of sampling equipment is presented in two separate tables. The list attempts to include a variety of differenttypes of equipment. However, this list is in no way a
39、ll inclusive, as there are many excellent pieces of equipment not included.Table 1 lists matrices (surface and ground water, stationary sediment, soil and mixed phase wastes) and indicates which samplingdevices are appropriate for use with these matrices. It also includes ASTM method references (dra
40、ft standards are not included).Table 2 indicates physical requirements (such as battery), electrical power, and weight; physical and chemical compatibility; effecton matrix; range of volume; ease of operation; decontamination; and reusability. Table 3 provides sampler type selection processbased upo
41、n the sample type and matrix to be sampled.5. Significance and Use5.1 Although many technical papers address topics important to efficient and accurate sampling investigations (DQOs, studydesign, QA/QC, data assessment; see Guides D4687, D5730, D6009, D6051, and Practice D5283), the selection and us
42、e ofappropriate sampling equipment is assumed or omitted.5.2 The choice of sampling equipment can be crucial to the task of collecting a sample appropriate for the intended use.5.3 When a sample is collected, all sources of potential bias should be considered, not only in the selection and use of th
43、esampling device, but also in the interpretation and use of the data generated. Some major considerations in the selection ofsampling equipment for the collection of a sample are listed below.5.3.1 The ability to access and extract from every relevant location in the target population,5.3.2 The abil
44、ity to collect a sufficient mass of sample such that the distribution of particle sizes in the population arerepresented, and5.3.3 The ability to collect a sample without the addition or loss of constituents of interest.5.4 The characteristics discussed in 5.3 are particularly important in investiga
45、tions when the target population is heterogeneoussuch as when particle sizes vary, liquids are present in distinct phases, a gaseous phase exists or material from different sourcesare present in the population. The consideration of these characteristics during the equipment selection process will en
46、able the datauser to make appropriate statistical inferences about the target population based on the sampling results.6. Selection Criteria6.1 Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for a summary of matrix compatibility and selection criteria. Refer to Table 3 for an index ofsampling equipment based upon sample t
47、ype and matrix to be sampled.6.2 CompatibilityIt is important that sampling equipment, other equipment which may come in contact with samples (suchas gloves, mixing pans, knives, spatulas, spoons, etc.) and sample containers be constructed of materials that are compatible withthe matrices and analyt
48、es of interest. Incompatibility may result in the contamination of the sample and the degradation of thesampling equipment. Appropriate sampling equipment must be compatible chemically and physically.6.2.1 Chemical CompatibilityThe effects of a matrix on the sampling equipment is usually considered
49、in the light of theanalytes, or groups of analytes of interest. For example, poly vinyl chloride (PVC) has been found to degrade in the presence ofmany separate phase organic compounds in water; therefore, it would be preferable to collect ground water samples for organicD6232 164TABLE 1 Equipment SelectionMatrix GuideEquipment(May be used for discrete samplecollectionWater and Waste Water Sediment Soil WasteSurfaceWaterGroundWaterPointDischarge LiquidMulti-LayerLiquidMixed PhaseSolid/LiquidConsolidatedSolidUnconsolidatedSolidPumps and SiphonsAutomatic SamplerNo
