Practices for sampling wastes from pipes and other point discharges
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.
