1.1 This test method describes a procedure for the laboratory determination of the concentration of nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives in soil. The explosives involved in this test method are as follows: HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-t
etranitro-1,3,5,7-te
trazocine), RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-tri
nitrol-1,3,5-triazin
e), TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotolue
ne), TNB (1,3,5 trinitrobenzene), DNB (1,3 dinitrobenzene), tetryl (methyl-2,4,6-trinit
rophenylnitramine), and 2,4-DNT (2,4-dinitrotoluene)
.
1.2 All observed and calculated values shall conform to the guidelines for significant digits and rounding established in Practice D6026
1.2.1 The method used to specify how data are collected, calculated, or recorded in this standard is not directly related to the accuracy to which the data can be applied in design of other uses, or both. How one applies the results obtained using this standard is beyond its scope. (See Practice D3740)
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
