3、 May 2012.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers a procedure for using a thin-walledmetal tube to recover relatively intact soil samples suitable forlaboratory tests of engineering properties,such as strength,compressibility,permeability,and density.Thin-walled tubesused in piston,plug,or rotary-type sampl
4、ers should complywith Section 6.3 of this practice which describes the thin-walled tubes.NOTE1This practice does not apply to liners used within thesamplers.1.2 This practice is limited to soils that can be penetrated bythe thin-walled tube.This sampling method is not recom-mended for sampling soils
5、 containing gravel or larger size soilparticles,cemented,or very hard soils.Other soil samplers maybe used for sampling these soil types.Such samplers includedriven split barrel samplers and soil coring devices(D1586,D3550,and D6151).For information on appropriate use ofother soil samplers refer to
6、D6169.1.3 This practice is often used in conjunction with fluidrotary drilling(D1452,D5783)or hollow-stem augers(D6151).Subsurface geotechnical explorations should be re-ported in accordance with practice(D5434).This practicediscusses some aspects of sample preservation after the sam-pling event.For
7、 information on preservation and transportationprocess of soil samples,consult Practice D4220.This practicedoes not address environmental sampling;consult D6169 andD6232 for information on sampling for environmental inves-tigations.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas stand
