If collecting <br /> a solid material, the container plus contents should not exceed 1 pound net <br />' weight. if sampling for voiaule organic analysis, 0 VOA container to septum <br /> but place the VOA container inside a 16 ounce or smaller container so the <br /> required air space may be provided. large quantities. up to 3.786 liters (I <br /> gallon), may be collected if the sample's flash point is 23 °C (75 'OF) or higher. <br /> In this case, the flash point must be marked on the outside container (e.g., <br /> canon, cooler), and shipping papers should state that "Flash point is 73 OF or <br /> higher." <br /> 3 ?
