Significance and Use4.1 This test method measures the air spaces of peat and the moisture-holding capacity on eit

16、her a mass and/or a volume basisunder conditions of saturation. If large spaces are present, water and air can penetrate easily. If spaces are smaller, the water holdingcapacity is increased. Water holding capacity is larger in humified peat materials (small inter-particulate spaces), whereas watera

17、nd air-penetration is larger in unhumified peat (larger inter-particulate spaces).The spaces can also be aan indication of the oxygenavailable to the plant roots.5.1 The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability

18、of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of PracticeThis test method measures the air-filledspaces (porosity) and the moisture-holding capacity of peat on both a mass and a volume basis under conditions of saturation. Iflarge spaces are present, water and air can penetra

Waterholding capacity is larger in humified peat materials (small inter-particulate spaces) (sapric soil), whereas water and air-penetrationis larger in unhumified peat (larger inter-particulate spaces) (fibric soil). The spa

24、n many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5.2 Water retention values are particularly important in the management of organic soils. There is much confusion in theliterature about the moisture retention values being expressed in various bases; as a percent by

25、 volume; as a percent of oven drymass; or as the percent of the wet mass. In some management decisions, it is necessary to express the water contents of organicsoils on a volume basis because of their varied bulk densities, but because of the volume reduction occurring on drying, the watercontents m

26、ust also be expressed on a wet volume basis as collected in the field. Whereas, in other management decisions, moistureretention values are best expressed on a dry mass basis. For example, the difference in mass between the wet and oven dry sampleis the moisture held. These values are best expressed

27、 on a dry mass basis. Water holding capacities show a marked difference dueto the degree of decomposition in an organic soil. The mass of water in fibric soil may be as much as 20 times the mass of thesolid particles, whereas that held in a sapric soil contains less than twice the mass. If the water

28、 holding capacity is expressed ona volume basis these differences are much less apparent.6.

(Asoldering iron is useful.)Adjust the length of the tube to matchconveniently the graduation of the buret; then scallopcut the end without the sieve

33、to allow for water drainage, and insert the tubeinto the dispensing buret with the sieve side up.6.7 A square piece of rubber sheet, paper, or oil cloth to aid in mixing sample.7. Sample Preparation of Sampling and Test Specimens Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 Sample:7.1.1 Obtain a samp

34、le as outlined in Section 7 of Test Methods D2974.D2980 1727.1.2 Air-dry the sample in accordance with Method B, 8.1.3.2 of Test Methods D2974 (air dried portion only). Determine andRecord the moisture removed during air-drying as a percentage of the as-received mass to the nearest 0.1 %.7.2 Place a

35、 representative field sample on a square rubber sheet, paper, or oil cloth. Reduce the sample to the quantity requiredby quartering and place in a pre-tared moisture-proof container. Work rapidly to prevent moisture losses.Test Specimen:7.2.1 Place a representative field sample about 300 g on a squa

36、re rubber sheet, paper, or oil cloth.7.2.2 Reduce the sample to the quantity required for a specimen by quartering and place in a pre-tared moisture-proof container.Work rapidly to prevent moisture losses.8. Procedure8.1 Determine the moisture content on a separate test specimen by Method I or II of

37、 Test Methods D2974.8.1.1 Weigh the Determine the mass of the buret fitted with the plastic tube and screen. Working rapidly to prevent moisturelosses, mix the sample thoroughly, place on top of a 4-mesh sieve, and shake until sieving is complete. Use only the portion thathas passed through the siev

38、e for the determination. Firmly pack the buret with 250 mm (10 in.) of the material passing the 4-meshsieve as follows: Attach the rubber stopper to the delivery end of the buret. Add 20-mL approximately 20-cm3 portions of thesample, firmly tapping on the rubber stopper 3 times vertically from a hei

39、ght of 150 mm (6 in.) for a final height of 50250 mm(10 in.) (This will ensure that the height of the final wet volume is 190 to 250 mm. (7.5 to 10 in).in.). Remove the stopper andweigh the buret to nearest 1 g.8.1.2 Position the buret to use a sink as the drain. Place a 20-L (5-gal) bottle equipped

40、 with a siphon device above the level ofthe buret. Connect the clamped rubber tubing of the siphon device to the buret by inserting glass tubing about 125 mm (5 in.) andconstricted at one end into the one-hole rubber stopper fitted tightly into the top of the buret. Attach the rubber tubing with the

41、pinch clamp to the delivery end of the buret. Open both clamps and pass water through the sample for more than 24 h, maintaininga water reservoir over the sample at all times. (Moss-type samples may float but gradually settle as the sample becomes wet.)Afterinitial soaking, regulate the water flow t

42、hrough the column by adjusting the screw clamp at the delivery end of the buret. (Thein-flow of water should be about equal to the out-flow; a flow of about 1 drop/s is suitable.) When the sample is saturated, closeboth clamps and let the sample settle in water for about 5 min. The top surface of th

43、e sample should be as level as possible.8.1.3 Raise the buret and replace the rubber stopper on the delivery end of the buret with a 250-mL250-cm3 dispensing buretfilled with water, using the rubber stopper for the connection. Connect the two burets tightly, with no air leaks. Remove the siphondevic

44、e and open the outlet clamps on both burets to empty. (The suction created is equivalent to about 38 mm (15 in).in.) of water.Check for air leaks to ensure that the standard suction is exerted on the sample. It is important to remove excess water as described.)Measure the height of the wet peat. The

45、 height should be 190 to 250 mm (7.5 to 10 in.). Record the volume in millilitres and weighthe determine the mass of the buret, the plastic tube with the sieve, and the wet peat to the nearest 1 g. Wet the sample again asabove for more than 1 h, drain by suction, record the volume, and mass. Repeat

46、until consistent results are obtained.9.
