26、 hydraulic fluidpressure or pneumatic pressure. Also known as an “Osterberg”piston sampler, which was developed by Professor Jori Oster-berg of Northwestern University.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Hydraulic stationary piston sampling of soils consists ofadvancing a sampling device into subsurface soils

27、 generallythrough a predrilled bore hole to the desired sampling depth.See Fig. 1 for a schematic drawing of the sampling process.The sampler is sealed by the stationary piston to prevent anyintrusion of formation material. At the desired depth, fluid orair is forced into the sampling barrel, above

28、the inner samplerhead, forcing the thin-walled tube sampler over the piston intothe soil formation. The hydraulically operated stationary pistonsampler has a prescribed length of travel. At the termination ofthe sampler travel length the fluid flow is terminated. Thesample is allowed to stabilize in

29、 the thin-walled tube. Thesample is then sheared by rotating the sampler. The sampler isretrieved from the borehole, and the thin-walled tube with thesample is removed from the sampler. The sample tube is thensealed properly or field-extruded as desired. The stationarypiston sampler is cleaned and a

30、 clean thin-walled tube in-stalled. The procedure is repeated for the next desired samplinginterval. Sampling can be continuous for full-depth boreholelogging or incremental for specific interval sampling.5. Significance and Use5.1 Hydraulically activated stationary piston samplers areused to gather

31、 soil samples for laboratory or field testing andanalysis for geologic investigations, soil chemical compositionstudies, and water quality investigations. The sampler issometimes used when attempts to recover unstable soils withthin-walled tubes, Practice D 1587, are unsuccessful. Examplesof a few t

32、ypes of investigations in which hydraulic stationarypiston samplers may be used include building site foundationstudies containing soft sediments, highway and dam founda-tion investigations where softer soil formation need evaluation,wetland crossings utilizing floating structures, and hazardouswast

33、e site investigations. Hydraulically activated stationarypiston samplers provide specimens necessary to determine thephysical and chemical composition of soils and, in certaincircumstances, contained pore fluids (see Guide D 6169).5.2 Hydraulically activated stationary piston samplers canprovide rel

34、atively intact soil samples of soft or loose formationmaterials for testing to determine accurate information on thephysical characteristics of that soil. Samples of soft formationmaterials can be tested to determine numerous soil character-istics such as; soil stratigraphy, particle size, moisture

35、content,permeability, sheer strength, compressibility, and so forth. Thechemical composition of soft formation soils can also bedetermined from the sample if provisions are made to ensurethat clean, decontaminated tools are used in the samplegathering procedure. Field-extruded samples can be field-s

36、creened or laboratory-analyzed to determine the chemicalcomposition of soil and contained pore fluids. Using sealed orprotected sampling tools, cased boreholes, and proper advance-ment techniques can help in the acquisition of good represen-tative samples. A general knowledge of subsurface condition

37、sat the site is beneficial.5.3 The use of this practice may not be the correct methodfor investigations of softer formations in all cases. As with allsampling methods, subsurface conditions affect the perfor-mance of the sample gathering equipment and methods used.For example, research indicates tha

38、t clean sands may undergoD6519082volume changes in the sampling process, due to drainage.4Thehydraulically activated stationary piston sampler is generallynot effective for cohesive formations with unconfined, und-rained shear strength in excess of 2.0 tons per square foot,coarse sands, compact grav

39、elly tills containing boulders andcobbles, compacted gravel, cemented soil, or solid rock. Theseformations may damage the sample or cause refusal to pen-etration. A small percentage of gravel or gravel cuttings in thebase of the borehole can cause the tube to bend and deform,resulting in sample dist

40、urbance. Certain cohesive soils, de-pending on their water content, can create friction on thethin-walled tube which can exceed the hydraulic deliveryforce. Some rock formations can weather into soft or loosedeposits where the hydraulically activated stationary pistonsampler may be functional. The a

41、bsence of ground water canaffect the performance of this sampling tool. As with allsampling and borehole advancement methods, precautionsmust be taken to prevent cross-contamination of aquifersthrough migration of contaminates up or down the borehole.Refer to Guide D 6286 on selecting drilling metho

43、dge;hand tools to remove and install the tube fasteners; and a brushwith buckets for cleaning the sampler.7.2.1 Rotary Drilling EquipmentDrills are required thatare capable of performing drilling functions in accordance withPractice D 6151 and Guide D 5783. Drill units generally offera ready hydraul

44、ic system for the retraction of samplers from thesampled formation and downward thrust for pushing thesampler through minimal amounts of borehole cave-in to reachdesired sampling depth as well as reactive weight to counteractthe thin-walled tube discharge pressure. Because most drillsare equipped wi

45、th leveling jacks, better weight application isFIG. 2 Thin-Walled Tube Sampler, Practice D 1587D6519084achieved. Vertical pushing is improved because of the ability tolevel the machine. Tool handling is facilitated by high-speedwinches common to drilling rigs, extended masts for long toolpulls, and

46、sampler holding devices. Drill units are commonlyfitted with fluid pumps that will provide the activation fluid.The unit must have a working pressure measurement gage inthe fluid discharge line positioned where it can be easily read.This gage will be the indicator of how the sampler isfunctioning as

47、 well as when the thin-walled tube has been fullyextruded.7.3 Activation FluidThe generally accepted activationfluid for using the hydraulically activated stationary pistonsampler is clean water. The sealing areas inside the samplerhave tight tolerances and as such cannot tolerate many physicalimpur

48、ities. The use of regular drilling water that is contami-nated with drill cuttings can impair the operation of the samplerand cause damage to the seal system. Water containing drillfluid additives can be used to activate the sampler. However,this fluid must also be free of foreign particles. In cert

49、ain casesit may be advantageous to use drilling fluid additives such aswhen the injection of clean water may negatively affectborehole stability. When using bentonite-based drill additives,a fluid of 30 to 45-s marsh funnel viscosity (API RP13B.1Standard Procedure for Field Testing Water-Based DrillingFluids) will work adequately. However, the sampler will needto be thoroughly cleaned after each use if drill fluid additiveborehole stabilization techniques are required. As the amountof drill fluid needed to activate the sampler is quite small, in therange from 5 to 10 gal d
