ISO 3170:2004 specifies manual sampling methods to be used to obtain samples of liquid or semi-liquid hydrocarbons, residues and deposits contained in fixed tanks, tank wagons, tank trucks , tankers, barges, drums and drums, or liquids being pumped through pipelines. ISO 3170:2004 applies to the sampling of petroleum products, crude oils and intermediate products, stored in tanks at or near atmospheric pressure, or transported by pipeline, and which are handled in the liquid state at temperatures ranging from a temperature close to ambient temperature to 200°C. The specified sampling methods do not apply to certain petroleum products which are the subject of other International Standards, such as dielectric oils (IEC 60475), liquefied petroleum gases (ISO 4257), liquefied natural gases (ISO 8943 ) and in the gaseous state (ISO 10715).
