7、 is placed in a sample container.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice is intended for use in collecting samples ofcontaminated soils and similar materials.4.2 Scoops are used primarily for collecting samples nearthe surface.Subsurface samples can be obtained by firstremoving higher layers using a
8、 shovel or other suitableequipment and collecting the sample with the scoop.4.3 Because of their simplicity,scoops are useful in takingsamples of waste materials where decontamination or disposalis a problem with other types of sampling equipment.Scoopsare also suitable for use in rapid screening pr
9、ograms,pilotstudies,and other semi-quantitative investigations.4.4 Samples should be collected in accordance with anappropriate work plan(see Practice D5283 and Guide D4687).5.Sampling Equipment5.1 Ashovel or other suitable equipment can be used for theinitial removal of overburden material.This equ
10、ipment shouldbe manufactured from material that is compatible with the soilor waste to be sampled.The scoop must be manufactured frommaterial that is compatible with the soil or waste to be sampledand the required test or analysis to be performed.For mosthazardous waste sampling,either a disposable
11、plastic scoop ora reusable stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene-coatedscoop is suitable(see Guide D6232 and Practice D5792).5.2 The design of the scoop is important to minimizesampling error,that is,all the material intended as the samplecan be collected and placed in the sample container and
12、is notlost as the scoop is systematically lifted from the source to thesample container(see Guide D6044,Pierre Gys SamplingTheory and Sampling Practice and Fig.1).5.3 For measurement of sample depth,a ruler or tapemeasure can be used.5.4 The advantages of sampling with a scoop are that thescoops are
