Standard Practice for Sampling Zooplankton with Pumps

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The advantages of collecting zooplankton with pumps are as follows:  
5.1.1 Sample size is more accurately controlled than with nets.  
5.1.2 Discrete samples can be more easily obtained both vertically and horizontally.  
5.1.3 Multiple or replicate samples can be more easily obtained.  
5.1.4 The pumps are adaptable to a variety of ecosystems less than 30 m deep.  
5.1.5 Sampling efficiency does not decrease with sample size.  
5.2 The disadvantages of collecting zooplankton with pumps are as follows:  
5.2.1 Pumps are bulky and require an electrical source.  
5.2.2 Pumps are generally more costly than nets.  
5.2.3 Pumps generally discriminate against collecting macroplankton.  
5.2.4 Pump intake tubes may be avoided by the more motile zooplankton forms.  
5.2.5 Requires a long, bulky, intake tube for deep water sampling.  
5.3 There are several special considerations that should be observed when collecting zooplankton with a pump. They are:  
5.3.1 Some pumps can fragment zooplankton and induce mortality due to their design.  
5.3.2 The pump hose must be cleared before taking the next sample.
SCOPE

Standard Practice for Sampling Zooplankton with a Clarke-Bumpus Plankton Sampler

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The advantages of the Clarke-Bumpus plankton sampler are as follows:  
5.1.1 It will sample a discrete depth or multiple depths, depending upon the sampling design.  
5.1.2 It is a slow to medium speed sampler requiring a towing speed of three to five knots.  
5.1.3 The sample size can be easily controlled.  
5.1.4 The sampler is lightweight and can be used without auxiliary equipment.  
5.1.5 It has a relatively high filtration efficiency factor of 0.88.  
5.1.6 It is a versatile sampler and can be used in all but the shallowest waters.  
5.1.7 The flowmeter records the amount of water that passes into the net.  
5.1.8 Overspill of water at the mouth of the net due to excess speed of towing is of minimal consequence.  
5.2 The disadvantages of the Clarke-Bumpus plankton sampler are as follows:  
5.2.1 The flowmeter requires frequent maintenance including calibration and lubrication.  
5.2.2 It is not suitable for use in very small areas or shallow waters.  
5.3 There are several special considerations that shall be observed when using a Clarke-Bumpus plankton sampler. They are:  
5.3.1 The flowmeter should be calibrated and serviced frequently to ensure efficient and accurate operation.  
5.3.2 The sampler is relatively fragile, particularly the closing device and flowmeter. This necessitates careful deployment and recovery procedures.  
5.3.3 Following each collection, the net must be thoroughly washed.  
5.3.4 Special attention must be given to the strength of the cable and its attachment to avoid loss of the sampler.  
5.3.5 The sampler should not be used in beds of macrophytes, in waters containing submerged objects, or close to the bottom.  
5.3.6 The net should be inspected frequently for pin-size holes, tears, net deterioration, and other anomalies.  
5.3.7 Following use, the wet net should be suspended full length in the air in subdued light and allowed to dry.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the procedures for obtaining quantitative samples of a zooplankton community by use of a Clarke-Bumpus plankton sampler.  
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.

Standard Practice for Preserving Zooplankton Samples

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) buffered formalin (3 % to 5 %) can be used as a permanent preservative for zooplankton. Lugol’s iodine solution can be used to preserve zooplankton for up to one year. Thirty percent ethanol, 30 % glutaraldehyde, or 25 % vinegar (can use 3 % acetic acid solution) can be used for more temporary storage and preservation of zooplankton samples. A 25 % vinegar solution is preferred to preserve soft-bodied planktonic coelenterates.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice describes the proper procedures for preserving zooplankton samples with either formaldehyde, ethanol, glutaraldehyde, Lugol’s iodine solution, or vinegar (acetic acid).  
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.

Standard Test Method for Measurement of Hydraulic Characteristics of Hydrodynamic Stormwater Separators and Underground Settling Devices

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Each device has unique flow patterns and turbulence characteristics. In addition, each device exhibits a wide range of efficiencies as discharge, particle size, particle density, and flow viscosity (that is, water temperature) change. The testing procedure in Section 7 will help develop the parameters necessary to input into a function that describes the performance of a device under a wide range of application conditions. Specifically, this test standard produces a characteristic curve that describes the hydraulic head-discharge relationship in a hydrodynamic separator over a range of flow rates typical in system operation.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method concerns measurement of selected hydraulic characteristics of hydrodynamic separators and underground settling devices critical to their function as stormwater treatment devices.  
1.2 Units tested shall be of a size commonly manufactured and available for purchase. In order to facilitate testing it is permissible to substitute alternate materials for the housing and structural components of the test units if operational components are at full size, with identical dimensions, configurations and materials specified for commercial use. Scale models are not permissible.  
1.3 As each stormwater treatment device is unique in design, so are its hydraulic characteristics (flow versus head and loss coefficients). A sufficient number of accurately measured data points are needed to properly define the hydraulic characteristics of each test unit. Therefore, it is imperative that the unit setup and subsequent testing methodologies be well defined and executed to ensure accurate flow and elevation data.  
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard, except for methods to establish and report sediment concentration and particle size. It is convention to exclusively describe sediment concentration in mg/L and particle size in mm or µm, both of which are SI units. The SI units given in parentheses are mathematical conversions, which are provided for information purposes only and are not considered standard. Reporting of test results in units other than inch-pound units shall not be regarded as non-conformance with this test method.  
1.5 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.  
1.6 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.

Standard Practices for Extraction of Trace Elements from Sediments

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Industrialized and urban areas have been found to deposit a number of toxic elements into environments where those elements were previously either not present or were found in trace amounts. Consequently, it is important to be able to measure the concentration of these pollution-deposited elements to properly study pollution effects.  
5.2 This procedure is concerned with the pollution-related trace elements that are described in 4.1 rather than those elements incorporated in the silicate lattices of the minerals from which the sediments were derived. These pollution-related trace elements are released into the water and readsorbed by the sediments with changes in general water quality, pH in particular. These elements are a serious source of pollution. The elements locked in the silicate lattices are not readily available in the biosphere (1-8).  
5.3 When comparing the trace element concentrations, it is important to consider the particle sizes to be analyzed (8, 9).  
5.3.1 The finer the particle the greater the surface area. Consequently, a potentially greater amount of a given trace element can be adsorbed on the surface of fine, particulate samples (4). For particle sizes smaller than 80 mesh, metal content is no longer dependent on surface area. Therefore, if this portion of the sediment is used, the analysis with respect to sample type (that is, sand, salt, or clay) is normalized. It has also been observed that the greatest contrast between anomalous and background samples is obtained when less than 80-mesh portion of the sediment is used (4, 5).  
5.3.2 After the samples have been dried, care must be taken not to grind the sample in such a way to alter the natural particle-size distribution (14.1). Fracturing a particle disrupts the silicate lattice and makes available those elements which otherwise are not easily digested (6). Normally, aggregates of dried, natural soils, sediments, and many clays dissociate once the reagents are added (14.3 and 1...
SCOPE
1.1 These practices describe the partial extraction of soils, bottom sediments, suspended sediments, and waterborne materials to determine the extractable concentrations of certain trace elements.  
1.1.1 Practice A is capable of extracting concentrations of aluminum, boron, barium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, sodium, strontium, vanadium, and zinc from the preceding materials. Other metals may be determined using this practice. This extraction is the more vigorous and more complicated of the two.  
1.1.2 Practice B is capable of extracting concentrations of aluminum, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, and zinc from the preceding materials. Other metals may be determined using this practice. This extraction is less vigorous and less complicated than Practice A.  
1.2 These practices describe three means of preparing samples prior to digestion:  
1.2.1 Freeze-drying.  
1.2.2 Air-drying at room temperature.  
1.2.3 Accelerated air-drying, for example, 95 °C.  
1.3 The detection limit and linear concentration range of each procedure for each element is dependent on the atomic absorption spectrophotometric or other technique employed and may be found in the manual accompanying the instrument used. Also see various ASTM test methods for determining specific metals using atomic absorption spectrophotometric techniques.  
1.3.1 The sensitivity of the practice can be adjusted by varying the sample size (14.2) or the dilution of the sample (14.6), or both.  
1.4 Extractable trace element analysis provides more information than total metal analysis for the detection of pollutants, since absorption, complexation, and precipitation are the methods by which metals from polluted waters are retained in sediments.  
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are inc...

Standard Practice for Emulsification/Suspension of Multiphase Fluid Waste Materials

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This practice is intended as a solution to the difficulty of obtaining reproducible test results from heterogeneous samples.  
5.2 This practice works best with multilayered liquids, but can also be applied to samples with solid particles that are sufficiently small in size to be suspended in an emulsion.  
5.3 The emulsified/suspended sample can be used for all bulk property testing such as microwave digestion/inductively coupled argon plasma (ICAP), ion chromatography, heat of combustion, ash content, water, nonvolatile residue, and pH. It may be prudent to retain a portion of the sample in its original, multiphase form for some types of analyses.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the generation of a uniform mixture or emulsion from multiphase samples which are primarily liquid in order to facilitate sample preparation, transfer, and analysis.  
1.2 This practice is designed to keep a multiphase fluid sample in an emulsified/suspended state long enough to take a single, composite sample that is representative of the sample as a whole. The sample may reform multiple layers after standing.  
1.3 The emulsion/suspension generated by following this practice can be used only for analytical procedures designed for the total sample and procedures not significantly affected by the emulsifier or the presence of an emulsion/suspension.  
1.4 This practice assumes that a representative sample of not more than 1 L has been obtained.  
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.6 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.  
1.7 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.
