1 Quart Weighted Bottle

1 Quart Weighted Beaker

Certain sample containers should not be used with some products. A product requiring extreme care is jet fuel. ASTM has written one entire standard (ASTM D 4306) to describe the proper sampling containers to be used, depending upon the tests to be performed. In general, epoxy lined steel cans are preferred for all testing except metals. The can must be rinsed three times with the product being sampled before use. High density polyethylene containers are preferred for trace metal and lubricity analysis. Aluminum containers must not be used. Also, equipment containing brass or copper must not come into contact with the sample or the cargo. Gasoline and naphtha samples are not taken in clear glass bottles or unlined cans. Cool the sample containers before filling, by immersing them in the product. This also rinses the bottle with the product to help insure contaminants are removed.
