This Malaysian Standard provide guidance for obtaining samples of waste at discharge points from pipes, sluiceways, conduits, and conveyor belts.The following are included:
Sections
Practice A-Liquid or Slurry Discharges 7 through 9
Practice B-Solid or Semisolid Discharges 10 through 12
These practices are intended for situations in which there are no other applicable ASTM sampling methods (see Practices D 140 and D 75) for the specific industry.
These practices do not address flow and time-proportional samplers and other automatic sampling devices.
Samples are taken from a flowing waste stream or moving waste mass and, therefore, are descriptive only within certain period. The length of the period for which a sample is descriptive will depend on the sampling frequency and compositing scheme.
It is recommended that these practices be used in conjunction with Guide D 4687.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
