The amount of soil retained, filteringefficiency, and flow rate are calculated from these measuredvalues.4.2 Either a site-specific soil or a soil representative of atarget default gradat

Each test specimen should be cut(1 m long by 0.3 m wide (3.3 ft long by 12 in. wide) to fit theflume or as necessary to fit the inlet opening.N
31、OTE 4No specimen should be taken within 0.2 m (6 in.) of aselvage.7.2 SoilIf desired, obtain representative samples of thesite-specific soil that is significant to the design of the sedimentretention device on the construction project. The size and typeof sample required is dependent upon the number
32、 of tests to beperformed and the percent of coarse particles in the sample. Iftesting is not site-specific, obtain a soil sample representativeof the following target default gradation and having a PlasticityIndex (PI) # 15:Percent Passing Sieve Size (opening size, mm)100 No. 10 (2.0 mm)80100 No. 40

(See Fig.1.)8.3 Pre-wet the filtration component sample by running onetest with 50 L (13.3 gal) of sediment-free water.
35、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. Thoroughly agitate the solutionwith a stirrer for 1 min
36、 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 more than 2 L (0.5gal) of additional water and release
37、 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 from thesample to the edge of the water behind the s
38、ample (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 the test, agitate the collected filtratewith a stirrer
39、 until the mixture is uniformly mixed. After 1 minof mixing, obtain a depth-integrated suspended-solids samplefrom the mixture while continuing the agitation. Alternatively,the entire collected filtrate may be vacuum filtered.NOTE 5With the sampler specified in 6.4, a rate of sampling thatrequires 3
40、0 s to reach the 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 or the entire collected mixture may beused.8.10 Place a glass fiber filter disk either on a membranefilter apparatus or in the b
