Summary of Test Method 4.1 Ageotextile specimen is placed in a sieve frame, and sized glass beads are placed on the geotextile surface.The geotextile and frame are shaken late

17、rally so that the jarring motion will induce the beads to pass through the test specimen. The procedure is repeated on the same specimen with various size glass beads until its apparent opening size has been determined. 5. Signicance and Use 5.1 Using a geotextile as a medium to retain soil particle

18、s necessitates compatibility between it and the adjacent soil. This test method is used to indicate the apparent opening size in a geotextile, which reects the approximate largest opening dimension available for soil to pass through. 5.2 Test Method D4751 for the determination of opening size of geo

19、textiles is acceptable for testing of commercial shipments of geotextiles.

If so desired, the length of the specimen may be shortened by cutting the fabric in a cross wise direction, taking care not to cut the fabric closer than 75 mm (3 in) from the outside of the circle.

Remove the 3m (10 ft) sock covered pipe section from the roll or pipe section by cutting the pipe at each end of the 3 m (10 ft) sample, outside of the ties. 7.3.3 Test SpecimensWith the fabric still secured to the pipe sample, use the exible rubber template, to dr
