2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice specifies a set of instructions for preparingsamples of hydraulic erosion control products
3、 (HECPs) forindex property testing.1.2 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026.1.2.1 For purposes of comparing measured or calculatedvalue(s) with specified limits, the measured or calculatedvalue(s) shall be
4、rounded to the nearest decimal or significantdigits in the specified limits.1.2.2 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded or calculated, in this standard are regarded as theindustry standard. In addition, they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should b
5、e measured. Theprocedures used do not consider material variation, purpose forobtaining the data, special purpose studies, or any consider-ations for the users objectives; and it is common practice toincrease or reduce the significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these consideratio
6、ns. It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in theanalytical methods for engineering design.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are being regardedas standard. No other units of measurement are included in thepractice.1.4 This standard does not purport to address
7、 all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

United States15. Significance and U
15、se5.1 This practice is intended to simulate mixing of HECPproducts as would be mixed on a job or project site but in alaboratory environment on a smaller scale. Dried samples arenot necessarily intended to represent a field application ofHECP products but would be representative of the correctamount
16、 of material applied to a known area and provide a basisfor consistent and repeatable index property testing.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that
17、meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D3740pro
18、vides a means of evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Baking PanFabricate a stainless steel straight-sided(not tapered), metal baking pan having dimensions of 280 6 5mm by 380 6 5mmby6.56 0.5 mm tall. Retain fabricatedpan for future testing.6.2 Stand MixerA device capable of maintaining
19、a speedbetween 60 and 90 rpm on the low setting and equipped witha 4 L stainless steel mixing bowl with a coated flat beaterattachment.6.3 Drying OvenThermostatically-controlled, preferablyof the forced-draft type, meeting the requirements of Specifi-cation E145 and capable of maintaining a uniform

The capac-ity of this balance will need to exceed the mass of the containerplus a specimen. I
21、n general, a balance with minimum capacityof 600 g is sufficient.6.5 Graduated CylindersTwo cylinders, one graduated for1000 mL and one graduated for 10 mL.6.6 Timing DeviceA clock, stopwatch, digital timer, ordevice readable to one second or better.6.7 Distilled WaterDistilled or demineralized wate
22、r is theonly permissible test fluid. The use of tap water is notpermitted.6.8 Metal PipeA galvanized pipe having a minimumlength of 600 mm and a 25 mm outside diameter.6.9 Miscellaneous ItemsItems such as a large flat solidplastic spatula, scissors or cutting dies, 4 L zip top bags, andnon-stick coo

Procedure8.1 Obtain a 500 g sample of fiber from the HECP productfrom the middle of the bag or bale. For those products withuneven bag distribution of pr
24、oper chemistry, the manufactureris required to supply the correct amounts of fiber and chemicalsneeded to produce the necessary quantity.8.2 Determine and record the required of amount of fiberusing an application rate of kg/hectare. If the application rate isgiven in lb/acre, then multiply that val
25、ue by 1.12 to getkg/hectare.Then, use the following equation to determine the requiredamount of fiber, F, in grams for use in this procedure.F 5 kg/hectare 3 0.1! 3 A (1)where:F = required amount of fiber, nearest 0.01 g andA = area of the baking pan, nearest 0.001 m2.8.3 Determine and record the qu
26、antity of distilled waterbased on a mixing rate in liters per kilogram (L/kg). Ifnecessary, convert the mixing rate of gallons per pound bymultiplying that value by 8.345 to get L/kg. Then, use thefollowing equation to determine the required quantity ofdistilled water, QDw,inmL.QDw5 M 3 F (2)where:Q
27、Dw= quantity of distilled water, nearest 0.1 mL andM = mixing rate, nearest 1 L/kg.8.4 Determine and record the mass of the mixing bowl tothe nearest 0.01 g and add the quantity of distilled water (QDw)from 8.3 to the bowl. Use both the 10 mL and 1000 mLgraduated cylinders to obtain accurate quantit
28、ies. Place therequired amount of fiber (F) of HECP in the mixing bowl.8.5 Blend the mixture of HECP and distilled water for fiveminutes with the mixer on the low setting to create a slurry.While waiting for the mixture to blend, spray5gofnon-stickcooking spray evenly into the metal baking pan and th
29、en tarethe pan.8.6 After blending for five minutes, remove the bowl fromthe mixer and place the slurry into the metal baking pan. Usethe spatula to make sure that all of the slurry is transferred fromthe bowl to the metal baking pan. Record the pans identifica-tion number on the data sheet.8.7 Using
30、 the 600 mm long metal pipe, roll out the materialin the pan. Start in the middle of the pan and roll each directiontwo times.8.8 Use the plastic spatula to smooth out the slurry in thepan. Make sure there are no lumps and that the HECP is evenlyspread in the pan. Determine and record the mass of th
31、e panplus the slurry to the nearest 0.01 g.8.9 Place the pan with the slurry in the oven for approxi-mately four hours. The final water content shall be 4 6 2%.Since the drying time may vary and to make sure the watercontent is achieved, check the mass of the pan and slurryperiodically throughout th
32、e four hours (see Note 2).D7986 152NOTE 2It is recommended to check the pan and slurry once every twohours.8.10 Once the water content is in the acceptable range,remove the pan and slurry from the oven and allow it to cool.Then, determine and record the mass of the pan and slurry tothe nearest 0.01
33、g. Calculate the water content in accordancewith D2216 and record to the nearest 1 %.8.11 Carefully remove the dried material from the pan usingthe spatula. Then trim the sides of the material with the scissorsor cutting dies to 130 mm long and 100 mm wide allowing forthe creation of six specimens f
34、or index property testing. Otherdimensions and quantities may be needed based on therequirements of subsequent index property testing.8.12 Place the specimens in the zip top bags and properlylabel individual specimens with target field application rate(that is, 2000 - 6000 kg/hectare), mixing rate,
35、supplier nameand product name.8.13 Repeat steps 8.2 through 8.12 until sufficient materialhas been produced in order to obtain the necessary number oftest specimens for subsequent index property testing.9.
