Standard Practice for
Random Sampling of Construction Materials1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3665; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice covers the determination of random locations (or timing) at which samples of construction materials
can be taken. For the exact physical procedures for securing the
sample, such as a description of the sampling tool, the number
of increments needed for a sample, or the size of the sample,
reference should be made to the appropriate standard method.
The selection procedures in Section 4 utilize the table of
four-digit numbers are given in Table 1.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, 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.
