Standard Test Method for Full Depth Field Sampling of In-situ Synthetic Turf Infill Materials

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Currently methods of infill sampling procedures differ from vendor to vendor and from technical agent to technical agent. Providing a uniform procedure for sampling, which allows for a consistent vertical sample, will allow for more consistent and accurate evaluation/measurement in the laboratory of samples taken in the field.

5.2 The Sampling Program and associated Sample Area Site Plan (Map) shall take into account the specific purpose or purposes of the testing and determine appropriate sample areas based on needs and field conditions. A partial list of possible purposes include:

5.2.1 General overall field evaluation of the infill material density, overall application rate, total quantities, and infill variation across the field area.

5.2.2 Infill component composition and variation/uniformity as it relates to infill material weights and ratios. This can identify inconsistencies in construction techniques and quality control.

5.2.3 Infill material evaluation for injury related surface assessment.

5.2.4 Infill material end of life and potential reuse assessment.

5.2.5 Field area contamination assessment.

5.3 Laboratory testing that may be performed on obtained samples include but are not limited to:

5.3.1 Test Method C136.

5.3.2 Test Method D5644.

5.3.3 Test Method F1632.
