ASTM D 5753 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Planning and Conducting Borehole Geophysical Logging
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jun 1, 2005
Scope:
This guide covers the documentation and general procedures necessary
to plan and conduct a
geophysical log program as commonly applied to geologic, engineering,
ground-water, and
environmental (hereafter referred to as geotechnical) investigations.
It is not intended to
describe the specific or standard procedures for running each type of
geophysical log and is
limited to measurements in a single borehole. It is anticipated that
standard guides will be
developed for specific methods subsequent to this guide.
Surface or shallow-depth nuclear gages for measuring water content or
soil density (that is, those
typically thought of as construction quality assurance devices),
measurements while drilling (MWD),
cone penetrometer tests, and logging for petroleum or minerals are
excluded.
Borehole geophysical techniques yield direct and indirect measurements
with depth of the (1)
physical and chemical properties of the rock matrix and fluid around
the borehole, (2) fluid
contained in the borehole, and (3) construction of the borehole.
To obtain detailed information on operating methods, publications (for
example, 2, 5, 7, 18, 24,
29, 34, 35, and 36)(Footnote 2) should be consulted. A limited amount
of tutorial information is
provided, but other publications listed herein, including a glossary
of terms and general texts on
the subject, should be consulted for more complete background
information.
This guide provides an overview of the following: (1) the uses of
single borehole geophysical
methods, (2) general logging procedures, (3) documentation, (4)
calibration, and (5) factors that
can affect the quality of borehole geophysical logs and their
subsequent interpretation. Log
interpretation is very important, but specific methods are too diverse
to be described in this
guide.
Logging procedures must be adapted to meet the needs of a wide range
of applications and stated in
general terms so that flexibility or innovation are not suppressed.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety and
liability concerns, if any, (for
example, lost or lodged probes and radioactive sources(Footnote 3))
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 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 judgment. Not all
aspects of this guide may be
applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to
represent or replace the
standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service
must be judged, nor should
this document be applied without consideration of a project's many
unique aspects. The word
"Standard" in the title of this document means only that the document
has been approved through the
ASTM consensus process.
Footnote 2 - The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of
references at the end of this
standard.
Footnote 3 - The use of radioactive materials required for some log
measurements is regulated by
federal, state, and local agencies. Specific requirements and
restrictions must be addressed prior
to their use.
