About This Item
ASTM D6907 is the ASTM standard practice for sampling soils and contaminated media with hand-operated bucket augers. It provides a consistent framework for collecting field samples where manual auger methods are appropriate, helping users obtain material that better supports environmental assessment, site investigation, and related technical decisions. By defining a recognized approach for sampling, ASTM D6907 helps improve consistency, reduce handling errors, and support more reliable comparisons between locations and sampling events.
ASTM D6907 standard overview
The ASTM D6907 standard overview centers on a practical sampling practice for soils and contaminated media using hand-operated bucket augers. As a standard practice, it is intended to guide how samples are obtained rather than to define material specifications or laboratory test methods. This makes it especially useful when field teams need a recognized procedure for collecting representative subsurface material under manual auger conditions. The standard supports repeatable field work and helps align sampling activities with accepted ASTM practices.
Where is ASTM D6907 used?
This standard is commonly used in field sampling work involving soils and contaminated media, particularly when manual bucket augers are suitable for the site conditions. It may be applied during environmental investigations, site assessments, or other sampling programs that rely on hand-operated equipment to reach shallow subsurface materials. ASTM D6907 is relevant anywhere technicians need a controlled, documented approach for collecting soil samples with bucket augers while minimizing variability in the sampling process.
Practical importance of ASTM D6907
The practical value of ASTM D6907 is in supporting consistent sample collection for later evaluation, comparison, or laboratory analysis. Using a recognized ASTM practice can help improve field documentation, reduce uncertainty in procurement or project specifications, and support quality control in environmental sampling workflows. For organizations that need dependable procedures for soils and contaminated media, ASTM D6907 can help reinforce compliance expectations and lower the risk of inconsistent or poorly characterized samples.
