ASTM D140-01(2007)
(Practice)Standard Practice for Sampling Bituminous Materials
Standard Practice for Sampling Bituminous Materials
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Sampling is as important as testing, and precautions shall be taken to obtain samples to show the true nature and condition of the materials.
Samples are taken for either of the following two purposes:
3.2.1 To represent as nearly as possible an average of the bulk of the materials sampled, or
3.2.2 To ascertain the maximum variation in characteristics which the material possesses.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice applies to the sampling of bituminous materials at points of manufacture, storage, or delivery.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
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.

7.2 Size of Containers:
7.2.1 The size of the container shall correspond to the
required amount of sample.
8. Protection and Preservation of Samples
8.1 Sample containers shall be new. They shall not be
washed or rinsed, or wiped with an oily cloth. If they contain
evidence of solder flux, or if they are not clean and dry, they
shall not be used. Top and container shall fit together tightly.
