About This Item
ASTM D5192/D5192M is the ASTM standard practice for collection of coal samples from core, providing guidance for obtaining representative samples from core material. It is used to support consistent sampling procedures when coal is recovered from drilling or coring operations, helping reduce variability caused by handling or collection methods. As a technical document, ASTM D5192/D5192M is important for projects that rely on accurate coal evaluation, because sample quality directly affects testing results, reporting, and downstream decision-making.
Purpose of ASTM D5192/D5192M
The purpose of this standard is to outline a recognized practice for collecting coal samples from core in a way that supports representative analysis. By focusing on the collection process, it helps users manage sample integrity from the point of recovery through handling and preparation. ASTM D5192/D5192M is relevant when coal core data must be dependable for laboratory testing, resource evaluation, or quality assessment. It provides a common reference for consistent field and sampling procedures.
Common use cases of ASTM D5192/D5192M
This practice is commonly used in coal exploration, coring programs, and mine-related testing workflows where coal recovered from core needs to be sampled for laboratory analysis. It may be applied by geologists, sampling teams, and technical personnel involved in core logging or coal quality evaluation. ASTM D5192/D5192M is especially useful when core samples must be handled in a controlled way to support later testing, documentation, and comparison across projects or drill intervals.
Why ASTM D5192/D5192M matters
ASTM D5192/D5192M matters because sampling quality can influence the reliability of coal test data and the confidence placed in reported results. Using a recognized ASTM standard helps support consistency in procurement, quality control, and technical review. It also helps reduce the risk of biased or poorly handled samples that could affect evaluation outcomes. For organizations that depend on coal core data, this standard provides a practical basis for more dependable sampling practice and compliance-oriented workflows.
