1、Designation: D 2419 02Standard Test Method forSand Equivalent Value of Soils and Fine Aggregate1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2419; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method is intended to serve as a rapid fi
3、eld-correlation test. The purpose of this test method is to indicate,under standard conditions, the relative proportions of clay-likeor plastic fines and dust in granular soils and fine aggregatesthat pass the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. The term “sand equiva-lent” expresses the concept that most granula
4、r soils and fineaggregates are mixtures of desirable coarse particles, sand, andgenerally undesirable clay or plastic fines and dust.NOTE 1Some agencies perform the test on material with a top sizesmaller than the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. This is done to avoid trapping theclay-like or plastic fines an
5、d dust below flaky shaped 4.75 to 2.36 mm(No. 4 to 8) sized particles. Testing smaller top sized material may lowerthe numerical results of the test.1.2 Units of Measurement:1.2.1 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard, with the exception of the dimensions of the specialsand
6、 equivalent test apparatus described in Fig. 1, in which thethe inch dimensions are standard. Values in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard t

11、 of solid particles produced by the physical and chemicaldisintegration of rocks which may or may not contain organicmatter (see Terminology D 653).4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A measured volume of soil or fine aggregate and a smallquantity of flocculating solution are poured into a graduatedplastic
12、 cylinder and are agitated to loosen the claylike coatingsfrom the sand particles in the test specimen. The specimen isthen “irrigated” using additional flocculating solution forcingthe claylike material into suspension above the sand. After aprescribed sedimentation period, the height of flocculate
13、d clayis read and the height of sand in the cylinder is determined. Thesand equivalent is the ratio of the height of sand to the heightof clay times 100.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method assigns an empirical value to therelative amount, fineness, and character of claylike materialpresent i

23、 1 Sand Equivalent Test ApparatusD24190225.2 A minimum sand equivalent value may be specified tolimit the permissible quantity of claylike fines in an aggregate.5.3 This test method provides a rapid field method fordetermining changes in the quality of aggregates duringproduction or placement.6. Int
24、erferences6.1 Maintain the temperature of the working solution at 226 3C (72 6 5F) during the performance of this test.NOTE 2If field conditions preclude the maintenance of the tempera-ture range, frequent referee samples should be submitted to a laboratorywhere proper temperature control is possibl
25、e. It is also possible toestablish temperature correction curves for each material being testedwhere proper temperature control is not possible. However, no generalcorrection should be utilized for several materials even within a narrowrange of sand equivalent values. Samples that meet the minimum s
26、andequivalent requirement at a working solution temperature below therecommended range need not be subject to referee testing.6.2 Perform the test at a location free from vibration.Excessive vibration may cause the suspended material to settleat a greater rate than normal.6.3 Do not expose the plast
27、ic cylinders to direct sunlight anymore than is necessary.6.4 Occasionally it may be necessary to remove a fungusgrowth from the working calcium chloride solution containerand from the inside of the flexible tubing and irrigator tube.This fungus can easily be seen as a slimy substance in thesolution
28、, or as a mold growing on the inside of the container.6.4.1 To remove this growth, prepare a cleaning solvent bydiluting sodium hypochlorite solution (household chlorinebleach) with an equal quantity of water.6.4.2 After discarding the contaminated solution, fill thesolution container with the prepa
29、red cleaning solvent: allowabout 1 L of the cleaning solvent to flow through the siphonassembly and irrigator tube, then place the pinch clamp on theend of the tubing to cut off the flow of solvent and to hold thesolvent in the tube. Refill the container and allow to standovernight.6.4.3 After soaki
30、ng, allow the cleaning solvent to flow outthrough the siphon assembly and irrigator tube.6.4.4 Remove the siphon assembly from the solution con-tainer and rinse both with clear water. The irrigator tube andsiphon assembly can be rinsed easily by attaching a hosebetween the tip of the irrigator tube
31、and water faucet andbackwashing fresh water through the tube.6.5 Occasionally the holes in the tip of the irrigator tubemay become clogged by a particle of sand.
