1、Designation:D469692(Reapproved 2008)Standard Guide forPore-Liquid Sampling from the Vadose Zone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4696;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A num
2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers the equipment and procedures usedfor sampling pore-liquid from the vadose zone(unsaturatedzone).The guide is limited to in s
3、itu techniques and does notinclude soil core collection and extraction methods for obtain-ing samples.1.2 The term“pore-liquid”is applicable to any liquid fromaqueous pore-liquid to oil.However,all of the samplersdescribed in this guide were designed,and are used to sampleaqueous pore-liquids only.T
4、he abilities of these samplers tocollect other pore-liquids may be quite different than thosedescribed.1.3 Some of the samplers described in this guide are notcurrently commercially available.These samplers are pre-sented because they may have been available in the past,andmay be encountered at site
5、s with established vadose zonemonitoring programs.In addition,some of these designs areparticularly suited to specific situations.If needed,thesesamplers could be fabricated.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5
6、 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.1.6 This guide offers
