Load sampling, truck

There are two procedures for solid waste sampling load sampling from the truck and incremental sampling. ... 

Sampling of RA should be representative and may be carried out from existing pavement to be recycled, from a lorry load (hauling trucks) of RA or from stockpiles. 

Although there is no way of knowing with certainty the concentration of TCDD in the off-loaded still bottoms, the waste holding tank in Verona from which the trucks were filled was sampled in August 1974 and was found to contain an average of 328 ppm TCDD. 

We cannot always take a one-dimensional slice across a three-dimensional lot because the material may be in a container. However, we may be able to sample the material as a flowing stream before it becomes a stationary lot. In the example in Figure 3.12, we can sample material as it flows in one dimension out of the loading arm, before it becomes three-dimensional in the truck or rail car. This is not practical, however, when the material flows very fast and splashes or is hazardous. 

In processes where solid material is fed into containers such as bags or drums at the end of the production line, it may not be logistically feasible or it may take too much time to wait until all containers are filled to select a random sample. The containers would have to be stored somewhere until all of them were filled. Then those selected for the sample would have to be retrieved. Or if the process were continuous and we shipped the product as soon as a truck could be loaded, then we would never have an entire lot from which to sample. The following method can be used for obtaining a random sample of discrete units when the lot items are accessible sequentially (Kennedy and Gentle, 1980). 

Air Point source emission stack, vent (e.g., laboratory hood, distillation unit, reactor, storage tank vent), material loading/unloading operations (including rail cars, tank trucks, and marine vessels). Fugitive emissions pumps, valves, flanges, sample coUection, mechanical seals, relief devices, tanks. Secondary emissions waste and wastewater treatment units, cooling tower, process sewer, sump, spill or leak areas. Equipment wash solvent or water, lab samples. 

Even bigger problems exist if large bulk masses (e.g. stock piles, silos, ship loads, rail cars, trucks, etc.) must be sampled. This is done to guarantee product quality prior to or after shipment and at the point of consumption. Results of those tests are only of commercial value because, typically, they can no longer be corrected but may influence acceptability or price of the commodity. Often, if quality is below standard but does not meet the guarantee, the price will have to be adjusted by offering discounts or rebates. 

The most common applications for ball valves in refineries and chemical plants at present are for loading valves on both tank car and truck racks, utility air service connections, utility water service connections, gas bleed-off valves, sample connection valves, low pressure steam service connections, fire systems, etc. 

Transportation is the work performed by movements during the course of the job or from one task to another. Typical transportation elements include walk, ctury load, ride elevator, push cart, and tide on motor truck. Transportation elements can be measured using standard data and work sampling. 

What is the traceability trail between raw materials, mix design, batch plant, truck and load numbers, the concrete foundation or structure in question, the samples and the test results (See Figure Al).
