Summary of Test Me

11、thod4.1 Geotextile filters have discrete pores from one side tothe other of the geotextile. The bubble point test is based on theprinciple that a wetting liquid is held in these continuous poresby capillary attraction and surface tension, and the minimumpressure required to force liquid from these p

12、ores is a functionof pore diameter.4.2 A fluid-wet geotextile will pass air when the applied airpressure exceeds the capillary attraction of the fluid in the poreconstriction. Smaller pore constrictions will exhibit similarbehavior at higher pressures. The relationship between poresize and pressure

13、has been established for water.4.3 By comparing the gas flow rates of both a wet and drygeotextile at the same pressures, the percentage of the flowpassing through the filter pores larger than or equal to thespecified size may be calculated from the pressure-size rela-tionship. By increasing pressur

14、e in small steps, it is possible todetermine the flow contribution of very small pore sizeincrements by difference.5.

Calculation of Pore Size, Pore Size Distribution andFrequency12.1 The calculation of pore size is based on the equilibriumof forces as shown by Eq 1.p Oig B cosu5Sp4DO2P (1)where:Oi= pore size, m,g = surface tension, mN/m, (dynes/cm),P = pressure, Pa or

39、 cm Hg, andB = capillary constant.The left-hand side of Eq 1 is the resisting force developedfrom surface tension acting between the liquid and the side-walls of a pore constriction of diameter O. The right-hand sideof Eq 1 is the driving force developed from the appliedpressure multiplied by the ar

40、ea of the pore constriction. Eq 2 isderived by rewriting Eq 1 to solve for O.O 54TB cosu!P(2)If the test liquid is known to wet the geotextile completely,and u = 0, then:O 5C gP(3)where:C = constant, 2860 when P is in Pa, 2.15 when P is in cmHg, and 0.415 when P is in psi units.NOTE 6If the contact

41、angle is greater than zero, the calculatedeffective pore size will be larger than the actual effective pore size rating.12.2 Select the limits of the pore size range being evaluated.Substitute the limits individually into the pore-size versuspressure formula, obtain their respective pressures and pl

From the test results, determine the wet and dry flowsat each pressure measured in the wet test and extrapolated fromthe dry curve over the pressure limits (pore size limits of therange) as shown in Fig. 4.12.3 The PSD of a geotextile is found by using Eq 4 at eachdifferent pressure a
