6、 Specification for Wire-Cloth Sieves for Testing Pur-poses3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The test method sets up standardized conditions formeasuring the volume and mass of saturated peat. From thesedata, saturated volume masses, moisture-holding capacity (on amass and volume basis), dry peat volumes,

7、 and porocity can bedetermined.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method measures the air spaces of peat and themoisture-holding capacity on either a mass and/or a volumebasis under conditions of saturation. If large spaces are present,water and air can penetrate easily. If spaces are smaller, the

8、water holding capacity is increased. Water holding capacity islarger in humified peat materials (small inter-particulatespaces), whereas water and air-penetration is larger in unhu-mified peat (larger inter-particulate spaces). The spaces canalso be aan indication of the oxygen available to the plan

Reduce the sample to the quantityrequired by quartering and place in a pre-tared moisture-proofcontainer. Work rapidly to prevent moisture losses.7

17、. Procedure7.1 Determine the moisture content on a separate testspecimen by Method I or II of Test Methods D 2974.7.1.1 Weigh the buret fitted with the plastic tube and screen.Working rapidly to prevent moisture losses, mix the samplethoroughly, place on top of a 4-mesh sieve, and shake untilsieving

18、 is complete. Use only the portion that has passedthrough the sieve for the determination. Firmly pack the buretwith 250 mm (10 in.) of the material passing the 4-mesh sieveas follows: Attach the rubber stopper to the delivery end of theburet. Add 20-mL portions of the sample, firmly tapping on ther

19、ubber stopper 3 times vertically from a height of 150 mm (6in.) for a final height of 50 mm (10 in.) (This will ensure thatthe height of the final wet volume is 190 to 250 mm. (7.5 to 10in). Remove the stopper and weigh the buret to nearest 1 g.7.1.2 Position the buret to use a sink as the drain. Pl

20、ace a20-L (5-gal) bottle equipped with a siphon device above thelevel of the buret. Connect the clamped rubber tubing of thesiphon device to the buret by inserting glass tubing about 125mm (5 in.) and constricted at one end into the one-hole rubberstopper fitted tightly into the top of the buret. At

21、tach the rubbertubing with the pinch clamp to the delivery end of the buret.Open both clamps and pass water through the sample for morethan 24 h, maintaining a water reservoir over the sample at alltimes. (Moss-type samples may float but gradually settle as thesample becomes wet.) After initial soak

22、ing, regulate the waterflow through the column by adjusting the screw clamp at thedelivery end of the buret. (The in-flow of water should be aboutequal to the out-flow; a flow of about 1 drop/s is suitable.)When the sample is saturated, close both clamps and let thesample settle in water for about 5

23、 min. The top surface of thesample should be as level as possible.7.1.3 Raise the buret and replace the rubber stopper on thedelivery end of the buret with a 250-mL dispensing buret filledwith water, using the rubber stopper for the connection.Connect the two burets tightly, with no air leaks. Remov

24、e thesiphon device and open the outlet clamps on both burets toempty. (The suction created is equivalent to about 38 mm (15in). of water. Check for air leaks to ensure that the standardsuction is exerted on the sample. It is important to removeexcess water as described.) Measure the height of the we

25、t peat.The height should be 190 to 250 mm (7.5 to 10 in.). Record thevolume in millilitres and weigh the buret, the plastic tube withthe sieve, and the wet peat to the nearest 1 g. Wet the sampleagain as above for more than 1 h, drain by suction, record thevolume, and mass. Repeat until consistent r

26、esults are obtained.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the saturated volume mass, S, in grams permillilitre as follows:As-received:S 5 Wr/Vw(1)Oven-dried:S 5 Wd/Vw(2)Wet:S 5 Ww/Vw(3)where:Wr= mass of test specimen as received, g,Vw= wet volume, mL,Wd= mass of dried test specimen, g = Wr3 (100 M)/100,M = mo

Report9.1 Report the saturated volume mass to the nearest 0.01 g.Report percentage results to the nearest whole number.10. Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionDue to the nature of the soil o

29、r rockmaterials tested by this method it is either not feasible or toocostly at this time to produce multiple specimens which haveuniform physical properties. Any variation observed in the datais just as likely to be due to specimen variation as to operatortesting variation. Subcommittee D18.22 welc

30、omes proposalsthat would allow for development of a valid precision state-ment.10.2 BiasThere is no accepted reference value for this testmethod, therefore, bias cannot be determined.11.
