Standard Guide for Sampling Oil/Water Mixtures for Oil Spill Recovery Equipment
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This guide provides techniques for obtaining representative samples of oil and water mixtures. This information is necessary in the calculation of oil recovery efficiency and oil recovery rates for oil collection devices.
3.2 Sampling Stationary Mixtures—When recovered oil/water mixtures are contained within a holding tank and the relative oil content of the recovered fluid is needed, the sampling technique is somewhat dependent on the container. Two techniques are outlined in this guide. If the container has a flat bottom with straight sides perpendicular to the base (or nearly so), either stationary technique can be implemented, with the stratified sampling method preferred. If the container is irregular in either the horizontal or vertical cross section, the mixing method is preferred.
3.3 Sampling Flowing Mixtures—To sample flowing mixtures containing both oil and water, turbulence is induced, to create a homogenous mixture while sampling. The oil content in the sample taken from the flowing stream can then be used to quantify the performance-rating criterion (see Procedure Section of Test Method D1796).
SCOPE
1.1 This guide is intended for sampling flowing or stationary oil/water mixtures. It is intended for use with oil spill recovery devices either in testing or in documentation of field performance.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

8.2 Sampling from a Container—This procedure is intended
for taking a representative sample of collected fluids held in a
container. When sampling containers, it is advisable to remove
as much of the aqueous phase as possible prior to sampling. If
this is possible, measure and record the volume of water
removed, which will contain dissolved hydrocarbons, for later
calculation of the relative oil/water composition. The precision
of the measurement will improve with removal of the aqueous
phase.
8.2.1 Mixing Method:
8.2.1.1 Mix the container of stratified oil and water using
any method which will achieve homogeneity during sampling
(high-speed propeller, liquid jet, or homogenizing pump).
Operate the mixer for a minimum of 5 min. Longer mixing
times are preferable to ensure homogeneity.
NOTE 1—Although this mixing method has been geared toward electric
mixers, alternate mixing methods could be used (air or liquid mixing jets,
homogenizing pumps), so long as a homogeneous mixture of the entire
volume is created. Immediately after mixing, obtain a representative
sample of the homogeneous mixture by lowering a 250 to 500-mL
