Designation:D574397(Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forSampling Single or Multilayered Liquids,With or WithoutSolids,in Drums or Similar Containers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5743;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year 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 typical equipment and methods forcollecting samples of single or multilayered liquids,with orwithout solids,in drums or similar containers.These methodsare adapted specifically for sampling drums having a volume of110 gal(416 L)or less.These methods are applicable tohazardous material,product,or waste.Specific sample collec-tion and handling requirements should be described in thesite-specific work plan.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,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 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precau-tionary statements are given in 7.2.7.1 and Notes 1 and 2.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4687 Guide for General Planning of Waste SamplingD5088 Practice for Decontamination of Field EquipmentUsed at Waste SitesD5283 Practice for Generation of Environmental Data Re-lated to Waste Management Activities:Quality Assuranceand Quality Control Planning and ImplementationD5495 Practice for Sampling With a Composite LiquidWaste Sampler(COLIWASA)2.2 Other Documents:Drum Handling Practices at Hazardous Waste Sites,EPA/600/S2-86/013,PB 165362,October 19863Accident Prevention Manual;Engineering and Technol-ogy 13th Edition,20094Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual forHazardous Waste Site Activities,No.85-115,October198553.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 bondingtouching the sampling equipment to thedrum to form an electrically conductive path to minimizepotential electrical differences between the sampling equip-ment and drum,reducing the buildup of static electricity.3.1.2 bungusually a 2-in.(5.1-cm)or34-in.(1.3-cm)diameter threaded plug designed specifically to close a bunghole.3.1.3 bung holean opening in a barrel or drum throughwhich it can be filled,emptied,or vented.3.1.4 deheadingremoval of the lid of a closed-head drum;it is usually accomplished with a drum deheader.3.1.5 drumimplicitly any drum,barrel,or non-bulk con-tainer of 5 to 110-gal(19 to 416-L)capacity.3.1.6 paila small container,usually of 5-gal(19-L)capac-ity.Pails typically have bungs or spouts,or the entire lid can beremoved.3.1.7 paperworkall required site documentation,whichmay include the manifests,waste profiles,material safety datasheets(MSDS),site forms,sample labels,seals,and chain ofcustody forms.3.1.8 sludgeany mixture of solids that settles out ofsolution.Sludges contain liquids that are not apparent as freeliquids.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.02 onSampling Techniques.Current edition approved April 1,2013.Published April 2013.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D5743 97(2008).DOI:10.1520/D5743-97R13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available(for free)at http:/www.epa.gov/nscep.4Available from National Safety Council,1121 Spring Lake Dr.,Itasca,IL60143and at www.nsc.org.5Available from National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH)at 800-356-4674(hardcopy)or http:/www.osha.gov/publications/complinks/OSHG-Hazwaste/4agency.html(download)Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.9 work plana plan specific to a particular site;it is forconducting activities specified in the plan.4.Summary of Practice4.1 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.The 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 ot
