10、 of pore sizes with in a givengeotextile based on the surface occupied by the pores.3.2.5 wetting liquid, nliquid used to submerge the geo-textile specimen prior to beginning the test.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Geotextile filters have discrete pores from one side tothe other of the geotextile. The

11、 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 pores is a functionof pore diameter.4.2 A fluid-wet geotextile will pass air when the applied ai

12、rpressure 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 has been established for water.4.3 By comparing the gas flow rates of both a wet and drygeotext

13、ile 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 pressure in small steps, it is possible todetermine the flow contribution of very small pore sizeincre
