Sampling

"A representative sample is a small portion extracted from the total volume of material and contains the same proportions of the various flowing constituents as the total volume of liquid being transferred. The precision of extraction must be equal to or better than the method used to analyze the sample." -ASTM D4177-87 Automatic Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products.

The results obtained from any checks either in the laboratory or on-site will reflect the condition of the sample. Care must be taken to ensure that the sample is representative. Failure to give samples the attention they deserve is common and can cause misleading results. No representative sample means no correct results and therefore a waist of money.

A sample which is not representative can never be used as an evidence in a claim!
