Summary of Test Method4.1 A filtration component of a sediment retention devicespecimen is placed vertical

17、ly across a flume or over a horizon-tal opening at the end of a flume while sediment-laden water ispassed through the specimen.4.1.1 The time that water flows through the filtration com-ponent of a sediment retention device and the amount of soilpassed by the filtration component of a sediment reten

18、tiondevice are measured. The amount of soil retained, filteringefficiency, and flow rate are calculated from these measuredvalues.4.2 Soil from the construction project should be used in thistest method.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine the filteringefficiency and flow

19、 rate of the filtration component of asediment retention device, such as a silt fence, a silt barrier, ora silt curtain, for specific soil conditions.5.2 This test method may be used for the design of thefiltration component of a sediment retention device to meetrequirements of regulatory agencies i

20、n filtering efficiency orflow rate for specific soil conditions.5.2.1 The designer can use this test method to determine thespacing between sediment retention devices.5.3 This test method is intended for performance evaluation,as the results will depend on the specific soil evaluated. It isrecommend

21、ed that the user or representative perform the test topre-approved products, as sediment retention device manufac-turers are not typically equipped to handle or test soil require-ments.5.4 This test method provides a means of evaluating thefiltration component of sediment retention devices with diff

22、er-ent soils under various conditions that simulate the conditionsthat exist in a sediment retention device installation. This testmethod may be used to simulate several storm events on thesame sediment retention device specimen. Therefore, thenumber of times this test is repeated per specimen is de

23、pendentupon the user and the site conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Flume, constructed from marine-grade plywood, plexi-glas, aluminum, or other material. The flume should bewatertight and constructed as shown in Fig. 1.NOTE 1Metal flumes should be mounted on a wood frame. The flumeopening is the standard

24、length of a straw bale. With a standard lengthflume of 122 cm (48 in.), the height of the back of the flume would beelevated 10 cm (378 in.).6.2 Inlet Extension, constructed from marine-grade ply-wood, plexiglass, aluminum, or other material. The inletextension should be watertight and constructed a

28、ot SampleDivide the product into lots and take thelot sample as directed in Practice D 4354.7.1.2 Laboratory SampleCut off sufficient length of thefiltration component of the sediment retention device to get theappropriate number of test specimens. If holes or damagedareas are evident, then damaged

29、material should be discardedand additional material sampled.7.1.3 Test SpecimensCut the appropriate number of speci-mens to be tested from the machine direction of the laboratorysample by a random method. Each test specimen should be cut(1 m long by 0.3 m wide (3.3 ft long by 12 in. wide) to fit the

30、flume or as necessary to fit the inlet opening.NOTE 4No specimen should be taken within 0.2 m (6 in.) of aselvage.7.2 SoilObtain representative samples of the site-specificsoil that is significant to the design of the sediment retentiondevice on the construction project. The size and type of sampler

31、equired is dependent upon the number of tests to be performedand the percent of coarse particles in the sample.8. Procedure8.1 Place the filtration component sample tautly across theflume opening or tightly fitted to the inlet opening and fastensecurely in place to ensure that the test specimen has

32、nowrinkles or loose sections and there is no seepage around thespecimen.8.2 Elevate the back of the flume to an 8 % slope. (See Fig.1.)4The US DH-48 integrated water sampler has been found to be satisfactory. It isavailable commercially.D51410928.3 Pre-wet the filtration component sample by running

33、onetest with 50 L (13.3 gal) of sediment-free water. Record thetemperature of the water.8.4 Mix 0.15 kg (0.33 lb) of air-dried site-specific soil in 50L (13.3 gal) of untreated water placed in a 75-L (20-gal)container. These soil particles are smaller than 2 mm, theopening size of a No. 10 sieve. Th

34、oroughly agitate the solutionwith a stirrer for 1 min to obtain a uniform mix.8.5 While continuing to mix the solution, release thesediment-laden water at the upper end of the flume. Release ofthe solution should take less than 10 s. Start the timer atrelease.8.6 Rinse the mixing container with no m

35、ore than 2 L (0.5gal) of additional water and release into the flume.8.7 Time the flow of water through the filtration componentsample until no water remains behind or above the sample or25 min has elapsed. If 25 min have elapsed and water remainsbehind or above the sample, then measure the distance

36、 from thesample to the edge of the water behind the sample (if testedvertically) or the depth of water above the sample (if testedhorizontally).8.8 Collect all filtrate caught by the gutter in a secondcontainer, until no water remains behind the sample or 25 minhas elapsed.8.9 At the completion of t

37、he test, agitate the collected filtratewith a stirrer until the mixture is uniformly mixed. After 1 minof mixing, obtain a depth-integrated suspended-solids samplefrom the mixture while continuing the agitation.NOTE 5With the sampler specified in 6.4, a rate of sampling thatrequires 30 s to reach th

38、e bottom of the container and 30 s to return to thesurface is ideal. This sampling procedure allows collection of a sampleover the full depth of the mixture.8.10 Place a glass fiber filter disk either on a membranefilter apparatus or in the bottom of a suitable Gooch crucible.Apply a vacuum and wash

39、 the disk with three successive20-mL portions of distilled water. Continue suction to removeall traces of water from the disk.8.11 Carefully remove the filter disk from the membranefilter apparatus and transfer to an aluminum or stainless steelplanchet. If a Gooch crucible is used, remove the crucib

40、le andfilter disk combination.NOTE 1Sides and bottom of flume can be constructed of 2-cm thick marine grade plywood.FIG. 1 Flume (For Vertical SRDs)D51410938.12 Dry the filter disk for at least1hinanoven at 103 to105C.8.13 Store in a desiccator until cooled to room temperature.8.14 Weigh the filter

41、disk to an accuracy of 0.00001 g.8.15 Place the filter disk in the membrane filter apparatusand return it or the Gooch crucible to the vacuuming andfiltering apparatus.8.16 Under the vacuum, filter the sample of water collectedin 8.9.8.17 Repeat 8.11-8.14.9.
