About This Item
ASTM D6564/D6564M is the standard guide for field filtration of groundwater samples, giving users a practical reference for handling filtration during sampling activities. It is intended to support consistent sample preparation in the field, where method choices can affect the quality and usability of groundwater data. By outlining a recognized approach, this ASTM standard helps improve technical consistency, reduce ambiguity, and support more reliable environmental monitoring and assessment work.
What is ASTM D6564/D6564M?
ASTM D6564/D6564M is a guide focused on field filtration of groundwater samples rather than a fixed test method. As an ASTM standard, it provides direction for applying filtration during groundwater sampling so that samples are prepared in a controlled and repeatable way. The document is relevant where filtration is needed before analysis, and it may help users align sampling practices with accepted technical procedures. Its value lies in giving a common framework for this specific step in groundwater sample collection.
Where is ASTM D6564/D6564M used?
This standard is commonly used in groundwater sampling programs where field filtration is part of the sample handling workflow. It may be applied by environmental laboratories, field technicians, consultants, and monitoring teams working with wells, aquifers, or other groundwater investigation sites. ASTM D6564/D6564M is especially relevant when samples need to be filtered on site before transport or analysis, helping support consistent field practices and better comparability between sampling events.
Why is ASTM D6564/D6564M important?
ASTM D6564/D6564M matters because field filtration can influence the integrity and interpretability of groundwater results. Using a recognized guide supports consistency across sampling programs, which is important for compliance, quality control, and data comparability. It can also reduce uncertainty in procurement and project specifications by giving buyers and users a clear technical reference. For organizations that depend on dependable groundwater data, the standard helps support more disciplined and defensible field procedures.
