Summary of Test Method4.1 A filtration component of a sediment retention devicespecimen is placed vertically across a flume or over a horizon-tal opening at the end of a flume while sediment-lade

20、n 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 retentiondevice are measured. The amount of soil retained, filteringefficiency, and flow rate

21、are calculated from these measuredvalues.4.2 Either a site-specific soil or a soil representative of atarget default gradation, at the clients discretion, should beused in this test method.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine the filteringefficiency and flow rate of the f

22、iltration component of asediment retention device, such as a silt fence, a silt barrier, ora silt curtain, for specific soil tested.5.2 This test method may be used for the design of thefiltration component of a sediment retention device to meetrequirements of regulatory agencies in filtering effici

23、ency orflow rate for the specific soil tested.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. Unlesstesting with the default s

24、oil is desired, it is recommended thatthe user or representative perform the test to pre-approveproducts, as sediment retention device manufacturers are nottypically equipped to handle or test soil requirements.5.4 This test method provides a means of evaluating thefiltration component of sediment r

This testmethod may be used to simulate several storm events on thesame sediment retention device specimen. Therefore, thenumber of times this test is r

The flume should bewatertight and constructed as shown in Fig. 1.NOTE 1Metal flumes should be mounted on a wood frame. The flume

27、opening is the standard 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-gradeplywood, plexiglass, aluminum, or other material.

If holes or damagedareas are evident, then damaged 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 shou

33、ld 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.NOTE 4No specimen should be taken within 0.2 m (6 in.) of a selvage.7.2 SoilIf desired, obtain representative samples of thesite-specific soil that is significant to the design of t

Iftesting is not site specific, obtain a soil sample representative ofthe following target default gradatio

Procedure8.1 Place the filtration component sample taut across theflume opening or tightly fitted to the inlet opening

37、and fastensecurely in place to ensure that the test specimen has 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.)8.3 Pre-wet the filtration component sample by running onetest with 50 L (13.3 gal) of sediment-free

38、 water. Record thetemperature of the water.8.4 Mix 0.15 kg (0.33 lb) of air-dried site-specific soil in50 L (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 f

39、or 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 more than 2 L(0.5 gal) of additional water and

40、 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 has elapsed and water remainsbehind or above the sample, then measure the distance from thesample to the edge of the water behin

41、d 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 the test, agitate the collected filtratewith a

42、stirrer 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 thatreq

43、uires 30 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

44、in the bottom of a suitable Gooch crucible.Apply a vacuum and wash 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 stain

45、less steelplanchet. If a Gooch crucible is used, remove the crucible andfilter disk combination.8.12 Dry the filter disk for at least1hinanoven at 103 to105 C.8.13 Store in a desiccator until cooled to room temperature.8.14 Weigh the filter disk to an accuracy of 0.01 g.8.15 Place the filter disk in

46、 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.
