1、Designation: D5084 10Standard Test Methods forMeasurement of Hydraulic Conductivity of Saturated PorousMaterials Using a Flexible Wall Permeameter1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5084; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in

2、 the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods cover laboratory measurement of thehydraulic conductivity (also

3、 referred to as coeffcient of per-meability) of water-saturated porous materials with a flexiblewall permeameter at temperatures between about 15 and 30C(59 and 86F). Temperatures outside this range may be used;however, the user would have to determine the specific gravityof mercury and RT(see 10.3)

4、 at those temperatures using datafrom Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. There are sixalternate methods or hydraulic systems that may be used tomeasure the hydraulic conductivity. These hydraulic systemsare as follows:1.1.1 Method AConstant Head1.1.2 Method BFalling Head, constant tailwater elevatio

6、on 6 on Reagents for water requirements.1.3 These test methods may be utilized on all specimentypes (undisturbed, reconstituted, remolded, compacted, etc.)that have a hydraulic conductivity less than about 1 3 106m/s(1 3 104cm/s), providing the head loss requirements of 5.2.3are met. For the constan

7、t-volume methods, the hydraulicconductivity typically has to be less than about 1 3 107m/s.1.3.1 If the hydraulic conductivity is greater than about1 3 106m/s, but not more than about 1 3 105m/s; then thesize of the hydraulic tubing needs to be increased along withthe porosity of the porous end piec

8、es. Other strategies, such asusing higher viscosity fluid or properly decreasing the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, or both, may also bepossible. The key criterion is that the requirements covered inSection 5 have to be met.1.3.2 If the hydraulic conductivity is less than about1 3 1011m/

9、s, then standard hydraulic systems and tempera-ture environments will typically not suffice. Strategies that maybe possible when dealing with such impervious materials mayinclude the following: (a) controlling the temperature moreprecisely, (b) adoption of unsteady state measurements byusing high-ac

10、curacy equipment along with the rigorous analy-ses for determining the hydraulic parameters (this approachreduces testing duration according to Zhang et al. (1)2), and (c)shortening the length or enlarging the cross-sectional area, orboth, of the test specimen. Other items, such as use of higherhydr

11、aulic gradients, lower viscosity fluid, elimination of anypossible chemical gradients and bacterial growth, and strictverification of leakage, may also be considered.1.4 The hydraulic conductivity of materials with hydraulicconductivities greater than 1 3 105m/s may be determined byTest Method D2434

12、.1.5 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguide for significant digits and rounding established in PracticeD6026.1.5.1 The procedures used to specify how data are collected,recorded, and calculated in this standard are regarded as theindustry standard. In addition, they are represe

13、ntative of thesignificant digits that should generally be retained. The proce-dures used do not consider material variation, purpose forobtaining the data, special purpose studies, or any consider-ations for the users objectives; and it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of r

14、eported data to becommensurate with these considerations. It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethods for engineering design.1.6 This standard also contains a Hazards section aboutusing mercury, see Section 7.1.7 The time to perform this test depends

15、 on such items asthe Method (A, B, C, D, E, or F) used, the initial degree ofsaturation of the test specimen and the hydraulic conductivityof the test specimen. The constant volume Methods (E and F)and Method D require the shortest period-of-time. Typically atest can be performed using Methods D, E,

16、 or F within two tothree days. Methods A, B, and C take a longer period-of-time,1This standard is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRock and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.04 on HydrologicProperties and Hydraulic Barriers.Current edition approved July 1, 2010.

However, these testmethods are only intended to be used when water is thepermeant liquid. See Section 6.4.4 Darcys law is assumed to be valid

36、nthe ASTM website.D5084 1024.5 These test methods provide a means for determininghydraulic conductivity at a controlled level of effective stress.Hydraulic conductivity varies with varying void ratio, whichchanges when the effective stress changes. If the void ratio ischanged, the hydraulic conducti

37、vity of the test specimen willlikely change, see Appendix X2. To determine the relationshipbetween hydraulic conductivity and void ratio, the hydraulicconductivity test would have to be repeated at differenteffective stresses.4.6 The correlation between results obtained using these testmethods and t

38、he hydraulic conductivities of in-place fieldmaterials has not been fully investigated. Experience hassometimes shown that hydraulic conductivities measured onsmall test specimens are not necessarily the same as larger-scale values. Therefore, the results should be applied to fieldsituations with ca

39、ution and by qualified personnel.4.7 In most cases, when testing high swell potential mate-rials and using a constant-volume hydraulic system, the effec-tive confining stress should be about 1.5 times the swellpressure of the test specimen or a stress which preventsswelling. If the confining stress

40、is less than the swell pressure,anomalous flow conditions my occur; e.g., mercury column(s)move in the wrong direction.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent of the competence of the personnel performing it and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agenc

Reliable results depend on many factors; Practi

In addition, the head lossacross the permeameter must be held consta

44、nt to 65% orbetter and shall be measured with the same accuracy or better.A pressure gage, electronic pressure transducer, or any otherdevice of suitable accuracy shall measure pressures to aminimum of three significant digits. The last digit may be dueto estimation, see 5.1.1.1.5.1.1.1 Practice D60

45、26 discusses the use or application ofestimated digits. When the last digit is estimated and thatreading is a function of the eyes elevation/location, then amirror or another device is required to reduce the reading errorcaused by parallax.5.1.2 Falling HeadThe system shall allow for measure-ment of

46、 the applied head loss, thus hydraulic gradient, to 65%or better at any time. In addition, the ratio of initial head lossdivided by final head loss over an interval of time shall bemeasured such that this computed ratio is accurate to 65%orbetter. The head loss shall be measured with a pressure gage

47、,electronic pressure transducer, engineers scale, graduatedpipette, or any other device of suitable accuracy to a minimumof three significant digits. The last digit may be due toestimation, see 5.1.1.1. Falling head tests may be performedwith either a constant tailwater elevation (Method B) or a ris

Other hydraulic systems orschematics that meet these objectives are acceptable.5.1.3 Constant Rate of FlowThe system must be capableof maintainin

Flow measurement shall be by calibratedsyringe, graduated pipette, or other device of suitable accuracy.The head loss across the permeameter shall be measured to aminimum of three significant digits and to an accuracy of65 % or better using an electronic pressure transducer(s) orother device(s) of suitable accuracy.
