Storing and Transport of Thin-Walled Tube Samples
Careful handling, transportation and storage of all samples is required to minimize sample disturbance and ensure accurate results of lab work. Exercise the following general precautions, in handling, transportation, and storage of samples. Perform lab tests as soon as possible after drilling is completed.
- Do not allow samples to freeze or get too hot in a vehicle or be exposed to outdoors.
- Store samples in an upright position with same orientation it was collected
- Do not allow samples to bounce around in a vehicle.
- Do not stack samples on top of other samples or place samples below anything that may put pressure on the samples.
