T

16、he work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-go

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

18、 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

As clay geosynthetic barriers a

21、re used to contain gases in long-term applications, this test especially focuses on the steady state of the phenomenon. The test is conducted with nitrogen, e.g. N2( = 1,75 105Pas, = 1,15 kg/m3at 20 C). The test method and described apparatus allow the measurement of gas flows in the range 0,1 ml/mi

22、n to 5 l/min on specimens with moisture contents in the range of 90 % to 130 %. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

From the plot of gas flow to moisture content under a normal load of

24、20 kPa and a differential pressure equal to 15 kPa, a gas flow index, GFI110/15, is determined, which is the gas flow at 110 % moisture content. 4 Apparatus 4.1 General The apparatus includes: a device allowing to load the specimen at a constant normal stress of 20 kPa (see 4.2); a test cell (see 4.

25、3); a device to apply inlet pressure in the upstream chamber (in contact with the upper face of the sample) (see 4.4); a device for measuring gas flow (see 4.5). 4.2 Loading device The loading device shall allow the application of the normal stress of 20 kPa with a tolerance of 5 % either by direct

26、loading or with a controlled air supply.
