17、The water-level response in the well is a function of themass of water in the well and the transmissivity and coefficientof storage of the aquifer. One method of analysis of the datafrom this field practice is described in Test Method D 4104.5. Significance and Use5.1 This slug test field procedure

18、is used in conjunction witha slug test analytical procedure, such as Test Method D 4104 toprovide quick and relatively inexpensive estimates of transmis-sivity.5.2 The slug test provides an advantage over pumping testsin that it does not require the disposal of the large quantities ofwater that may

19、be produced. This is of special importancewhen testing a potentially contaminated aquifer. However, slugtests reflect conditions near the well, therefore are influencedby near-well conditions, such as gravel pack, poor welldevelopment, and skin effects.5.3 Slug tests may be made in aquifer materials

20、 of lowerhydraulic conductivity than generally considered suitable forhydraulic testing with pumping tests.5.4 The method of data analysis (analytical procedure)should be known prior to the field testing to ensure that allappropriate dimensions and measurements are properly re-corded. Selection of t

21、he analytical procedure can be aided byusing Guide D 4043, Test Method D 5785, Test MethodD 5881, and Test Method D 5912.6. Apparatus6.1 Slug-Inducing EquipmentThis test method describesthe types of equipment that can be used. Because of the infinitevariety of testing conditions and because similar

22、results can beachieved with different apparatus, engineering specificationsfor apparatus are not appropriate. This test method specifies theresults to be achieved by the equipment to satisfy the require-ments of this practice.6.2 Water-Level Measurement EquipmentThe method ofwater level measurement

23、may be dependent on the methodselected for injection or withdrawal of water, and the nature ofthe response of the well. For an open-well test, that is, whereaccess to the water level is open to the surface, measure waterlevels manually as described in Test Method D 4750, by anautomatic recording dev

24、ice linked to a float, or with a pressuretransducer linked to a data logger or display device. A pressuretransducer linked to a data logger will be necessary for a test ina closed well in which water-level changes are induced byvacuum or pressure on the control well and where manualmeasurements do n

25、ot provide measurements of adequate fre-quency (see 9.3).7. Conditioning7.1 Pre-Test Procedure:7.1.1 Measuring Pre-Test Water LevelsMeasure the waterlevel in the control well before beginning the test for a periodlonger than the duration of the test to determine the pre-testwater level fluctuations

26、and to establish pre-pumping water-level trend and to determine a pre-pumping reference waterlevel.8. Procedure8.1 Cause a change in water level, either a rise or decline, byone of the following methods:8.1.1 Water SlugInject or withdraw water of a knownquantity into or from the control well.8.1.2 M

27、echanical SlugInject or withdraw a mechanicalslug below or above the water level. The water within thecontrol well will then rise or decline an amount equal to thevolume of the mechanical slug.8.1.3 Release Vacuum or PressureA method of simulatingthe injection or withdrawal of a slug of water is by

28、the releaseof a vacuum or pressure on a tightly capped (shut-in) controlwell. Before the release, the vacuum or pressure is heldconstant.NOTE 1There is no fixed requirement for the magnitude of the changein water level. Similar results can be achieved with a wide range ininduced head change. Some co

29、nsiderations include a magnitude of changethat can be readily measured with the apparatus selected, for example thehead change should be such that the method of measurement should beaccurate to1%ofthemaximum head change. Generally, an induced headchange of from one-third to one meter is adequate. Al

30、though the inducedhead change should be sufficient to allow the response curve to be defined,excessive head change should be avoided to reduce the possibility ofintroducing large frictional losses in well bore.The mechanical model for the test assumes the head change is inducedinstantaneously. Pract

31、ically, a finite time is required to effect a headchange. Selection of time zero can be selected experimentally. Refer to themethod of analysis (such as Test Method D 4104) to determine time zeroand to evaluate the suitability of the change effected in the well.8.2 Measure water-level response to th

32、e change in waterlevel. The frequency of water-level measurement during thetest is dependent upon the hydraulic conductivity of thematerial being tested. During the early portions of the test,measure water levels at closely-spaced intervals. Measure-ments of water level made manually with a tape sho

33、uld bemade as frequently as possible until the water level hasrecovered about 60 to 80 %. Increase the length of timebetween measurements with increasing duration of the test.Since most methods of data analysis are curve-fitting tech-niques, it is essential that water levels are measured frequentlye

34、nough to define the water-level response curve (see GuideD 4043, Test Methods D 4104 and D 5785).8.2.1 In aquifer-well systems where water-level changes arerapid, it may be necessary to use a pressure transducer linkedto an electronic data logger to measure and record the waterlevels frequently enou

35、gh to adequately define the waterlevelresponse. The use of transducers and data loggers generallyprovides a greater than adequate frequency of measurements,ranging from several measurements per second in the early partof the test to a specified frequency in the later portions of a test.With such equ

36、ipment, the test analysis may use a reduced dataset of measurements to calculate the hydraulic properties (seeGuide D 4043, Test Methods D 4104 and D 5785 for analysisof water level data).8.3 Post-Test ProcedureMake preliminary analysis ofdata before leaving the field and evaluate the test regarding

37、 theD 40442criteria given in this test method and the method of analysis,such as Test Method D 4104 to determine if the test should bererun.9. Report9.1 Include the information listed below in the report of thefield procedure:9.2 All test reports should include the following:9.2.1 Date, time, and we

38、ll identification,9.2.2 Method of slug withdrawal or injection, as well aswhether the test is a falling head (injection) or a rising head(withdrawal) test,9.2.3 Inside diameter of well screen and well casing abovescreen,9.2.4 Depth of well,9.2.5 Length and depth setting of screen,9.2.6 Volume of mec

39、hanical slug or pressure change im-posed on water level, and9.2.7 Pre-testing water-level trend.9.3 Establish and record the measurement point from whichall measurements of water level are made. Record date, time,and depth to water level below measurement point of all waterlevels.9.4 Water levels me

40、asured during the test should be re-corded with information on date, clock time, and time since teststarted. If the water levels are measured with a pressuretransducer and recorded with an electronic data logger, recordthe name of the data file on the data logger.10. Precision and Bias10.1 It is not

41、 practical to specify the precision of this testmethod because the response of aquifer systems during aquifertests is dependent upon ambient system stresses. No statementcan be made about bias because no true reference values exist.11. Keywords11.1 aquifers; aquifer tests; ground water; hydraulic co
