18、f national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The 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. In
19、ternational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with
20、the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. 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. Publication as an International Standard requires approval
21、 by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10769 was prepared by Technical Committee

Th
23、e bentonite component is a part of clay geosynthetic barriers (GBR-C). Water absorption depends on the specific surface of the fine particles and the surface activity of the bentonite. The test provides an index value for production control testing of GBR-C. 2 Normative references The following refe
24、renced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

27、E 1 wgAd= mwmwhere mwgis the limiting value of the absorbed water absorbed over the test period. NOTE 2 The result may also be expressed as the proportion by mass, in %. BS EN ISO 10769:2011ISO 10769:2011(E) 2 ISO 2011 All rights reserved4 Principles The amount of water absorbed in relation to the d
28、ry mass of the bentonite sample is determined over time by an automatic electronic balance system. The water absorption value, wA, is determined during a test period of 24 hours. Different bentonite samples can be compared using water content diagrams (see Annex A). 5 Apparatus The following apparat
29、us shall be used. 5.1 Drying oven. 5.2 Water absorption device (based on DIN 18132, for details see Figure 1), consisting of a glass top tube with glass filter plate to support the specimen; a glass connection tube and glass measurement tube with a 2 ml nominal volume; the glass measurement tube is
30、positioned horizontally such that the measurement tube axis is 50 mm lower than the surface of the glass filter plate; the filter plate shall be clean and without contamination; the glass top tube shall be cleaned after 50 test uses (e.g. in an ultrasonic bath) or replaced. 5.3 Mortar and pestle or
31、ball mill. 5.4 Desiccator jar. 5.5 Filling funnel with short stem see Figure 1 c), inserted into the glass top tube. The outlet of the glass funnel shall be 20 mm above the glass filter plate. 5.6 Glass stopper (see Figure 2). 5.7 Weighing paper (smooth laboratory paper), for use when filling the sp
32、ecimen. 5.8 Electronic balances, with computer interface. The resolution shall be 0,001 g. 5.9 Metal test sieves, with 250 m mesh size in accordance with ISO 3310-1. 5.10 Computer. 6 Preparation and size of specimens Sieve the sample of bentonite through a 250 m mesh size sieve to remove particles g
33、reater than 250 m. Grind all removed particles over 250 m to a particle size less than 250 m and resieve them. Dry the passed material in the oven at a temperature of (60 3) C until it has reached a constant mass in accordance with ISO 11465. Cool the sample to room temperature in a desiccator. The
34、dry mass of the specimen shall be approximately 0,25 g with no particles greater than 250 m. Determine the mass of the specimen with a resolution of 0,001 g. 7 Procedures 7.1 Preparation of the equipment The inside surfaces of the individual items of glass equipment shall be clean. In order to avoid
35、 wetting errors, the glass measurement tube shall be cleaned before the start of the test and flushed several times with demineralised water. BS EN ISO 10769:2011ISO 10769:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved 3The glass measurement tube (3), glass connection tube (2) and glass top tube (4) including
36、 the part above the glass filter plate are all fitted together as shown in Figure 1 in such a way that the ground conical joints are sealed, and filled with demineralised, deaired water, free of entrapped air and bubbles. The glass measurement tube shall be horizontal. The water level in the glass t
37、op tube is now set to the height of the glass filter plate surface. Any droplet attached to the point of the glass measurement tube shall be swabbed off. The inside wall of the glass top tube shall be dried above the glass filter plate by swabbing off the water. For the calibration, the equipment sh
38、all be weighed without specimen for a period of 24 h. Repeat the preparation if the mass is not constant after 24 h with a resolution of 0,03 g. 7.2 Test procedure Connect the interface of the electronic balance with the computer to establish a mass variation over time. The specimen is placed on the
39、 glass filter plate using the glass funnel. The glass funnel outlet shall be placed centrally over the glass filter plate in the glass top tube in order to obtain a reproducible, conical test specimen on the glass filter plate. The test specimen shall be passed into the glass funnel using a smooth l
40、aboratory paper folded in the middle. The glass top tube shall be plugged with a glass stopper (see Figure 2). The test period begins when the first particles of bentonite fall on the filter plate. The mass of the absorbed water is measured by the electronic balance and recorded by the computer. The
41、 duration of the test is 24 h. A second electronic balance may be utilized to control and calibrate the first electronic balance. 8 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) the reference number and year of publication of this International Standard (i.e. ISO 10769:2011
42、); b) the identification of the sample, date of receipt and date of testing; c) the mass of the fraction particle size lower than 250 m; d) the room temperature; e) the water absorption, wA; f) a water content diagram, the water contents of bentonite shall be shown in a diagram in relation to the te
43、st time, where abscissa time to a logarithmic scale, ordinate water content to a linear scale; g) any deviation from this procedure.
