16、ples for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1spaces are present, water and air can penetrate easily. If spacesare smaller, the water holding capacity is increased. Waterholding capac

17、ity is larger in humified peat materials (smallinter-particulate spaces) (sapric soil), whereas water and air-penetration is larger in unhumified peat (larger inter-particulatespaces) (fibric soil). The spaces can also be an indication of theoxygen available to the plant roots.As such, the interplay

18、 of theproperties of moisture holding capacity and porosity dictate thebest use of the harvested organic soil material as well as thebest management practices for organic soils. The moistureretention relationships of these soils are critical to decisionsinvolving irrigation, drainage, and bearing ca

19、pacity of thesesoil.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 meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objec

20、tive 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 D3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5.2 Water retention values are particul

21、arly important in themanagement of organic soils. There is much confusion in theliterature about the moisture retention values being expressedin various bases; as a percent by volume; as a percent of ovendry mass; or as the percent of the wet mass. In somemanagement decisions, it is necessary to exp

22、ress the watercontents of organic soils on a volume basis because of theirvaried bulk densities, but because of the volume reductionoccurring on drying, the water contents must also be expressedon a wet volume basis as collected in the field. Whereas, inother management decisions, moisture retention

23、 values are bestexpressed on a dry mass basis. For example, the difference inmass between the wet and oven dry sample is the moistureheld. These values are best expressed on a dry mass basis.Water holding capacities show a marked difference due to thedegree of decomposition in an organic soil. The m

24、ass of waterin fibric soil may be as much as 20 times the mass of the solidparticles, whereas that held in a sapric soil contains less thantwice the mass. If the water holding capacity is expressed on avolume basis these differences are much less apparent.6. Apparatus6.1 Dispensing Apparatus:6.1.1 T

27、-gal (20-L) bottle equipped with a siphon device;6.6 Stainless steel sieve circle about 16 mesh and 28.7 mmin diameter to be attached to one end of the drying tube andsealed. (A soldering iron is useful.) Adjust the length of thetube to match conveniently the graduation of the buret; then cutthe end

28、 without the sieve to allow for water drainage, and insertthe tube into the dispensing buret with the sieve side up.6.7 A square piece of rubber sheet, paper, or oil cloth to aidin mixing sample.7. Preparation of Sampling and Test SpecimensSampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 Sample:7.1.1 Obt

29、ain a sample as outlined in Section 7 of TestMethods D2974.7.1.2 Air-dry the sample in accordance with Method B,8.1.3.2 of Test Methods D2974 (air dried portion only).Determine and Record the moisture removed during air-dryingas a percentage of the as-received mass to the nearest 0.1 %.7.2 Test Spec

30、imen:7.2.1 Place a representative field sample about 300 g on asquare rubber sheet, paper, or oil cloth.7.2.2 Reduce the sample to the quantity required for aspecimen by quartering and place in a pre-tared moisture-proofcontainer. Work rapidly to prevent moisture losses.8. Procedure8.1 Determine the

31、 moisture content on a separate testspecimen by Method I or II of Test Methods D2974.8.1.1 Determine the mass of the buret fitted with the plastictube and screen. Working rapidly to prevent moisture losses,mix the sample thoroughly, place on top of a 4-mesh sieve, andshake until sieving is complete.

32、 Use only the portion that haspassed through the sieve for the determination. Firmly pack theburet with 250 mm (10 in.) of the material passing the 4-meshsieve as follows: Attach the rubber stopper to the delivery endof the buret.Add approximately 20-cm3portions of the sample,firmly tapping on the r

33、ubber stopper 3 times vertically from aheight of 150 mm (6 in.) for a final height of 250 mm (10 in.)(This will ensure that the height of the final wet volume is 190to 250 mm. (7.5 to 10 in.). Remove the stopper and weigh theburet to nearest 1 g.8.1.2 Position the buret to use a sink as the drain. P

34、lace 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

35、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

36、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

37、 min. The top surface of thesample should be as level as possible.D2980 17128.1.3 Raise the buret and replace the rubber stopper on thedelivery end of the buret with a 250-cm3dispensing buret filledwith water, using the rubber stopper for the connection.Connect the two burets tightly, with no air le

38、aks. Remove 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

39、 of the wet peat.The height should be 190 to 250 mm (7.5 to 10 in.). Record thevolume in millilitres and determine the mass of the buret, theplastic tube with the sieve, and the wet peat to the nearest 1 g.Wet the sample again as above for more than 1 h, drain bysuction, record the volume, and mass.

Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionTest data precision is not presented due tothe nature of materials tested. Due to the nature of the soil orrock materials tested by this method. It is either not feasible o

46、rtoo costly at this time to have ten or more laboratoriesparticipate in a round-robin testing program. Also, it is notfeasible or too costly to produce multiple specimens that haveuniform physical properties.Any variation observed in the datais just as likely to be due to specimen variation as to op

47、eratoror laboratory testing variation.11.1.1 Subcommittee D18.22 is seeking any data from theusers of this test method that might be used to make a limitedstatement on precision. It welcomes proposals that would allowfor development of a valid precision statement.11.2 BiasThere is no accepted refere
