Agencies that meet the criteria of PracticeD 3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objectivetesting. Users of this test method are cautioned that complianc

17、d Soil Specimens:7.1.1 Thin-Walled Tube or Drive SpecimensCut a 200 630-mm (8.0 6 1-in.) long section of a sampling tube containingan undisturbed soil specimen. The tube section should have aminimum diameter of 51 mm (2 in.).7.1.2 Weigh the specimen in a sampling tube or brass rings.7.1.3 Insert the

18、 thermal needle probe down the axis of thespecimen by either pushing the probe into a predrilled hole(dense specimen) to a depth equal to the length of the probe orpushing the probe into the specimen (loose specimen). Careshould be taken to ensure that the thermal probe shaft is fullyembedded in the

19、 specimen and not left partially exposed. (SeeNote 2.)NOTE 2To provide better thermal contact between the specimen andthe probe, the probe may be coated with a thin layer of thermal grease. Ifa hole is predrilled for the needle probe, the diameter of the hole shouldbe equal to the diameter of the ne

20、edle probe to ensure a tight fit. A device,such as a drill press, may be used to insert the probe to ensure that theprobe is inserted vertically and that no void spaces are formed between thespecimen and the probe.7.2 Remolded Soil Specimens:7.2.1 Compact the specimen to the desired density andwater

21、 content (in a thin-walled metal or plastic tube) using anappropriate compaction technique. For further guidance on theeffect of the various compaction techniques on thermal con-ductivity, refer to Mitchell et al (1).3The tube should have aminimum diameter of 51 mm (2 in.) and a length of 200 6 30mm

23、 ensure that the thermal probe shaft isfully embedded in the specimen and not left partially exposed.(See Note 2.)8. Calibration8.1 The thermal needle probe apparatus should be calibratedbefore its use. Perform calibration by comparing the experi-mental determination of the thermal conductivity of a

24、 standardmaterial to its known value. A calibration factor, C, should becalculated where:C 5lmateriallmeasured(1)where:lmaterial= the known thermal conductivity of the cali-bration material, and3The boldface numbers given in parentheses refer to the list of references at theend of this standard.FIG.

25、 1 Thermal Probe Experimental SetupD5334082lmeasured= the thermal conductivity of that material mea-sured with the thermal needle probe appara-tus.8.1.1 All subsequent measurements with the thermal needleprobe apparatus should be multiplied by C before beingreported. This is especially important wit

26、h large diameterneedle probes (that is, d 2.5 mm) where departures from theassumption of an infinitely thin probe cause potentially signifi-cant differences in estimation of the thermal conductivity dueto non-negligible heat storage and transmission in the needleprobe itself.8.1.2 The calibration fa

27、ctor, C, has been shown to be afunction of thermal conductivity when using a large diameterneedle probe (see Hanson et al, 2004) (2). For users of largediameter probes, it may be necessary to determine C at severalthermal conductivities in the range of measurement and con-struct a calibration functi

For largerdiameter thermal needl

30、e probes it will be necessary to plot thedata on a semi-log plot as described in 10.2.2 and identify theduration of the non-linear portion of initial data that should beexcluded. These data are most strongly affected by termsignored in Eq 4 and 5, and will result in decreased accuracy ifthey are inc

31、luded in the subsequent analysis. The total timeduration of the data included in the analysis, and duration ofinitial values excluded from the analysis, should be fixed forany thermal needle probe configuration and used duringcalibration and all subsequent thermal conductivity measure-ments with tha

32、t probe type to avoid biasing results due tosubjective selection of the time range for analysis.10.2.2 Using the remaining data, determine the slope, Shofa straight line representing temperature versus ln t for theheating phase, and, if used, the slope, Scof a straight linerepresenting temperature v

The early and late portions of the testFIG. 3 Typical Record of Data (Idealized Curve)D5334084(representing transient conditions and boundary effects, respec-tively) should not be used for the curve fitting. These slopescan be determined using linea

34、r regression with any standardspreadsheet or data analysis software, or manually, by plottingthe data and fitting a straight line to the data by eye. If manualmethods are used to determine the slope, it may be convenientto use semi-log graph paper with log10time. If the slope oftemperature versus lo

35、g10t is used in the analysis, the slopes ofthe plots should be termed (Sh10) for the heating phase, and(Sc10) for the cooling phase.10.2.3 The data included in the analysis should be evenlyspaced with the logarithm of time (X-axis). If data are collectedin even time increments and subsequently plott

36、ed on a log timescale, then the distribution becomes uneven biasing the analy-sis too heavily toward the long-term of the testing period. Fig.4 shows a data set that has been properly filtered to provide aneven data distribution along the log time axis.10.2.4 Compute thermal conductivity using Eq 6,

Typically Shand Scdiffer because of specimen temperature drift during the mea-surement. Averaging the two values minimiz
