    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard sets out the method for selecting - the location of sampling or test sites for testing of soils; the time at which a sample is to be taken; and the tonnage or volume of material at which a sample is to be taken. The method uses random numbers obtained from a random number table (see Table 1) or generated using a suitable electronic calculator or algorithm. The method is based on ASTM D 3665.
