Title
Standard Guide for the Selection of Purging and Sampling Devices for Ground-Water Monitoring Wells

ASTM International

Publication Date:
Feb 10, 2001

Scope:

This guide describes the characteristics and operating principles of purging and sampling devices available for use in ground-water monitoring wells and provides criteria for selecting appropriate devices for specific applications. The selected device(s) should be capable of purging the well and providing valid representative samples of ground water and any included dissolved constituents. The scope does not include procedures for purging or collecting samples from monitoring wells, sampling devices for non-aqueous phase liquids, diffusion-type sampling devices or sampling from devices other than monitoring wells.

This guide reviews many of the most commonly used devices for purging and sampling ground-water monitoring wells. The practitioner must make every effort to ensure that the purging and sampling methods used, whether or not they are addressed in this guide, are adequate to satisfy the monitoring objectives at each site.

This guide offers an organized collection of information or a series of options and does not recommend a specific course of action. This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgement. Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circumstances.
