Summary of Test Method4.1 The infiltration rate of water through soil is measured using a double-ring infiltrometer with a sealed or covered inner ring(

17、Fig. 1). The infiltrometer consists of an open outer and a sealed inner ring. The rings are embedded and sealed in trenchesexcavated in the soil. Both rings are filled with water such that the inner ring is submerged.4.2 The rate of flow is measured by connecting a flexible bag filled with a known w

18、eight of water to a port on the inner ring.As water infiltrates into the ground from the inner ring, an equal amount of water flows into the inner ring from the flexible bag.After a known interval of time, the flexible bag is removed and weighed. The weight loss, converted to a volume, is equal to t

19、heamount of water that has infiltrated into the ground. An infiltration rate is then determined from this volume of water, the area ofthe inner ring, and the interval of time. This process is repeated and a plot of infiltration rate versus time is constructed. The testis continued until the infiltra

20、tion rate becomes steady or until it becomes equal to or less than a specified value.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means to measure low infiltration rates associated with fine-grained, clayey soils, and are in therange of 1 1075 m/scm/s to 1 10 98 m/s.cm/s.5.2 This test meth

21、od is particularly useful for measuring liquid flow through soil moisture barriers such as compacted clay lineror covers used at waste disposal facilities, for canal and reservoir liners, for seepage blankets, and for amended soil liners suchas those used for retention ponds or storage tanks.5.3 The

22、 purpose of the sealed inner ring is to: (1) provide a means to measure the actual amount of flow rather than a drop inwater elevation which is the flow measurement procedure used in Test Method D3385 and (2) to eliminate evaporation losses.5.4 The purpose of the outer ring is to promote one-dimensi

23、onal, vertical flow beneath the inner ring. The use of large diameterrings and large depths of embedments helps to ensure that flow is essentially one-dimensional.5.5 This test method provides a means to measure infiltration rate over a relatively large area of soil. Tests on large volumesof soil ca

24、n be more representative than tests on small volumes of soil.5.6 The data obtained from this test method are most useful when the soil layer being tested has a uniform distribution of porespace, and when the density and degree of saturation and the hydraulic conductivity of the material underlying t

25、he soil layer areknown.5.7 Changes in water temperature can introduce significant error in the volume change measurements. Temperature changes willcause water to flow in or out of the inner ring due to expansion or contraction of the inner ring and the water contained withinthe inner ring.5.8 The pr

26、oblem of temperature changes can be minimized by insulating the rings, by allowing enough flow to occur so thatthe amount of flow resulting from a temperature change is not significant compared to that due to infiltration, or by connectingand disconnecting the bag from the inner ring when the water

27、in the inner ring is at the same temperature.5.9 If the soil being tested will later be subjected to increased overburden stress, then the infiltration rate can be expected todecrease as the overburden stress increases. Laboratory hydraulic conductivity tests are recommended for studies of the influ

28、enceof level of stress on the hydraulic properties of the soil.FIG. 1 Schematic Of A Double-Ring Infiltrometer With A Sealed Inner RingD5093 152NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard depends on the competence of the personnel performing it and the suitability of theequipment and f

29、acilities being used.Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing,sampling, inspection, etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself ensure reliable results. Reliableresults d

Apparatus6.1 Infiltrometer RingsThe rings shall be constructed of a stiff, corrosion-resistant material such as metal, plastic, or fiberglass.The shape of the rings can be circular or square. However, square

31、 rings are recommended because it is easier to excavate straighttrenches in the soil. The rings can be of any size provided: (1) the minimum width or diameter of the inner ring is 610 mm (24in.); and (2) a minimum distance of 610 mm (24 in.) is maintained between the inner and outer ring.
