Standard Practice for Sampling Asphalt Materials

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Sampling is as important as testing, and precautions shall be taken to obtain samples to show the true nature and condition of the materials.  
4.2 Samples are taken for either of the following two purposes:  
4.2.1 To represent as nearly as possible an average of the bulk of the materials sampled, or  
4.2.2 To ascertain the maximum variation in characteristics which the material possesses.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice applies to the sampling of asphalt materials at points of manufacture, storage, or delivery.  
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D140/D140M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1.1 This practice applies to the sampling of bituminousasphalt materials at points of manufacture, storage, or delivery.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

4. Significance and Use
4.1 Sampling is as important as testing, and precautions shall be taken to obtain samples to show the true nature and condition

4.2.1 To represent as nearly as possible an average of the bulk of the materials sampled, or

5. Precautions
5.1 Because of the numerous types and grades of bituminousasphalt materials that are alternately shipped and stored in the same
or similar containers, the opportunity for contaminating these containers with residues, precipitates, or cleaning solvents is ever
present. Numerous opportunities also exist for obtaining samples which are not strictly representative of the material or are
contaminated after removal. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the producer, transporter, user, and sampler to exercise continuous
precaution in the sampling and handling of these materials.
6. Selection of Samples
6.1 Whenever practicable, bituminousasphalt materials shall be sampled at the point of manufacture or storage, and at such time
as to allow the tests controlling acceptance or rejection to be made in advance of shipment.
