It has the same unitsas the infiltration rate.3.2.2 infiltrationthe downward entry of liquid into thesoil.3.2.3 infiltration ratethe rat

During infiltration, this rate maydecrease with time until reaching a quasi-steady value.3.2.4 infiltrometera device for measuring the rate of entryof liquid into a porous body, f

19、or example, water into soil.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The double-ring infiltrometer method consists of install-ing two open cylinders, one inside the other, into the ground,partially filling the rings with water or other liquid, and thenmaintaining the liquid at a constant level. The volume of li

20、quidadded to the inner ring, to maintain the liquid level constant isthe measure of the volume of liquid that infiltrates the soil. Thevolume infiltrated during timed intervals is converted to anincremental infiltration velocity by dividing by the area of theinner ring, usually expressed in centimet

21、er per hour (or inchper hour) and plotted versus elapsed time. The maximumsteady-state or average incremental infiltration velocity, de-pending on the purpose/application of the test is equivalent tothe infiltration rate.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for field measurement of

22、theinfiltration rate of soils. Infiltration rates have application tosuch studies as liquid waste disposal, evaluation of potentialseptic-tank disposal fields, leaching and drainage efficiencies,irrigation requirements, water spreading and recharge, andcanal or reservoir leakage, among other applica

23、tions.5.2 Although the units of infiltration rate and hydraulicconductivity of soils are similar, there is a distinct differencebetween these two quantities. They cannot be directly relatedunless the hydraulic boundary conditions are known, such ashydraulic gradient and the extent of lateral flow of

24、 water, or canbe reliably estimated.5.3 The purpose of the outer ring is to promote one-dimensional, vertical flow beneath the inner ring.5.4 Many factors affect the infiltration rate, for example thesoil structure, soil layering, condition of the soil surface,degree of saturation of the soil, chemi

25、cal and physical nature ofthe soil and of the applied liquid, head of the applied liquid,temperature of the liquid, and diameter and depth of embed-ment of rings.3Thus, tests made at the same site are not likelyto give identical results and the rate measured by the testmethod described in this stand

26、ard is primarily for comparativeuse.5.5 Some aspects of the test, such as the length of time thetests should be conducted and the head of liquid to be applied,must depend upon the experience of the user, the purpose fortesting, and the kind of information that is sought.NOTE 1The quality of the resu

27、lt 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 objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of th

28、is 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.6. Apparatus6.1 Infiltrometer RingsCylinders approximately 500 mm(20 in.) high and havin
