The verb “wet” is intended to mean to completely saturatethe geotextile specimen with the wetting fluid thoroughly such that the entire thickness of the specimen contains fluid with noentrained air bubbles.4. Summary of Test M

16、ethod4.1 Geotextile filters have discrete pores from one side to the other of the geotextile. The bubble point test is based on theprinciple that a wetting liquid is held in these continuous pores by capillary attraction and surface tension, and the minimumpressure required to force liquid from thes

17、e pores is a function of pore diameter.4.2 A fluid-wet geotextile will pass air when the applied air pressure exceeds the capillary attraction of the fluid in the poreconstriction. Smaller pore constrictions will exhibit similar behavior at higher pressures. The relationship between pore size andpre

18、ssure has been established for water.the wetting fluid.4.3 By comparing the gas flow rates of both a wet and dry geotextiletest at the same pressures, the percentage of the flow passingthrough the filter pores larger than or equal to the specified size may be calculated from the pressure-size relati

19、onship. Byincreasing pressure in small steps, it is possible to determine the flow contribution of very small pore size increments by difference.5.

The flow rate measured during this

27、period must be “zero.”NOTE 3The filter holder should be checked for leaks by placing a geomembrane in the holder and increasing the pressure to 70 kN/m2 and holdingit for a period of one minute.6.4 Metal Punch, used to cut a suitable size geotextile from the test sheet to fit the test filter holder.

28、6.5 Set of Flowmeters, Flow Rate Measurement Sensors, covering the range from 0 to 5000 the porometer should be equippedwith sensors to measure the flow rate that are high enough to derive the desired pore size distribution. The maximum flow ratemeasurement required will depend on the opening diamet

29、er and the dry air flow that corresponds to the smallest opening that canbe determined with this method on the geotextile type under test. The minimum sensitivity, that is, the detection threshold, isdictated by the flow rate that corresponds to the onset of flow at the bubble point. For some geotex

30、tiles, this value may be as lowas 0.1 L/min.6.5.1 A series of floating ball-type flow meters placed in a parallel arrangement to cover the ranges of flow rates is acceptableprovided the minimum and maximum flow rate measurements can be obtained with an accuracy of 5 % or less of the measuredvalue.6.

31、5.2 Digital flow meters are preferred for measurement of flow rates. Two or more digital flow meters of different capacitiesand sensitivities may be necessary to cover both the minimum detection value and the maximum dry specimen value. The accuracyof digital flow meters shall be 0.25 % of the maxim

The smallest flow rate that could be measured by the flowmeters is typically reported to

33、be 0.02 L/min.The manufacturer-rated precision of each flowmeter is typically reported to be 0.25 percent of the maximum reading.6.6 In-Line Fluid Trap, for porometers which have the flow rate sensors downstream from the test specimen to protect theflowmeters from the flow meters from being contamin

No flow should be detected through the specimen at th

The pressure ramp rate should be slow enough not to produce a “right-shift” of the wet curve, that is,underestimate of the opening size.

48、This should be confirmed with consecutive tests using a single test specimen tested at varyingpressure ramp rates. Pressure and flow rate shall be recorded with an acquisition rate sufficient to capture the requisite values.10.3 Plot gas the air flow rate versus gas pressure over the intended range
