2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method provides an indirect measurement ofthe viscosity of clay slurries using a funnel (Marsh Funnel) anda graduated c

3、up of specific dimensions. This test methodprovides a practical indicator of the viscosity on a routinebasis. This test method has been modified from the APIRecommended Practice 13B-2.1.2 The result determined using the method is referred to asthe Marsh Funnel Viscosity.1.3 This test can be performe

Terminology3.1 For definitions of common terms in this standard, referto Terminology D 653.3.1.1 marsh funnel viscosity (MFV)also known as funnelviscosity. The time required (in seconds) for 946 mL (1 qt) ofa slurry to flow into

7、 a graduated cup from a funnel (known asa Marsh Funnel) with specific dimensions. The Marsh FunnelViscosity is not a true viscosity, it is only an apparent value andgood in a relative sense. Low MFV values are obtained forslurries with high viscosity and high MFV values are obtainedfor slurries with

8、 low viscosity.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In this method, a slurry is poured into a funnel withspecific dimensions (Marsh Funnel). The slurry is then allowedto flow into a graduated cup. The time for the slurry to fill avolume of 946 mL (1 qt) is measured and reported as the MarshFunnel Viscosity.

9、 The test temperature is also reported forcomparison purposes.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method allows for the assessment of anapparent viscosity of clay slurries in the laboratory and in thefield. Viscosity is a fundamental characteristic for slurries inconstruction applications. The Mars

10、h Funnel Viscosity test canbe used for field quality control of slurries. Relative changes inslurry viscosity can be identified using Marsh Funnel measure-ments and modifications can be made to mixing and handlingprocedures.5.2 In this test, it is assumed that the apparent viscosity of aslurry is di

11、rectly related to the flow duration through a speciallyshaped funnel (the Marsh Funnel).NOTE 1The development of the Marsh Funnel is credited to Hallan N.Marsh of Los Angeles who published the design and use of his funnelviscometer in 1931.5.3 In slurry wall construction and other applications, thev

12、iscosity of a slurry must be maintained at a level high enoughto assist in stabilizing the trench walls. Slurry viscosity is alsodirectly related to filter cake permeability.5.4 The Marsh Funnel Viscosity has been widely used indrilling soil and rock for water wells, oil, gas, soil stabilization,and

13、 the application of hydraulic barriers.5.5 Inert suspended solids such as fine sands and additivesaffect the viscosity of slurries. This test may be used todetermine the relative effects of this and other such materialson the viscosity of a slurry.NOTE 2The quality of the result produced by this sta

14、ndard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used.

Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Mar

18、sh Funnel (see Fig. 1)The Marsh Funnel willcomply with the following:6.1.1 Funnel ConeA cone with a length of 305-mm(12-in.) and a diameter of 152-mm (6-in.) equipped with ascreen at the top and an orifice tube at the bottom. The capacityof the cone from the orifice opening to the bottom of the scre

19、enshall be 1500 mL (1.6 qt). It may be manufactured from plastic,metal, or other rigid and durable material, and may be providedwith handles or stands.6.1.2 Funnel OrificeAn orifice tube of 51-mm (2-in.) inlength, with an inside diameter of 4.75-mm (316-in.). Thediameter of this outlet directly affe

20、cts the Marsh Funnel testresults and has been standard with the test since the inceptionof this method.6.1.3 ScreenA screen with openings of approximately 3.2mm (0.125 in.). The screen is normally placed at the 1500 mL(1.6 qt) level of the funnel; approximately 19 mm (0.75 in.)below the top of the f

21、unnel. The screen is used to separatelarger particles that could plug the orifice during the test.6.2 Graduated CupA metal or plastic graduated cup witha 946-mL (1-qt) marking.6.3 TimerA stopwatch or equivalent timer with a resolu-tion of 0.5 s or better.6.4 ThermometerA thermometer with a range of

22、0 to105C (32 to 220F) with a resolution of 1C (2F).6.5 Sampling and Cleaning Equipment.7. Hazards7.1 Appropriate eye and hand protection is recommendedfor direct work with the slurries.8. Sampling8.1 Obtain a 7.5 L (2 gal) representative sample of the slurryto be tested using dippers, buckets, mud o

23、r slurry samplers, orequivalent equipment from a field construction operation (forexample, from a hydrated mix pond) or from a laboratoryslurry mix. A specimen 1500 mL (1.6 qt) in volume is requiredfor a test.9. Calibration Checks9.1 Periodically check the Marsh Funnel and the graduatedcup for damag

24、e or wear. For the Marsh Funnel pay specialattention to the orifice tube. Verify that the graduation marksare present and readable in the funnel and the cup. In particular,make sure that the 946 mL mark is readable in the cup.9.2 Fill the Marsh funnel with 1500-mL (1.6-qt) of waterwhile holding a fi

25、nger over the orifice. If the water surface is atthe screen, no further marking is required. If the surface isabove or below the screen, a mark should be placed inside thefunnel for reference when running the test.9.3 Verify that the flow duration for 946 mL (1 qt) of wateris 26 6 0.5 s at a tempera

26、ture of 21 6 3C (70 6 5F). If theFunnel does not meet these criteria for fresh water, clean theorifice tube and inspect to verify that the tube has not beenbent, flattened or otherwise distorted. If the funnel continues toprovide inaccurate readings, it may have been damaged and thefunnel should be

27、replaced.10. Procedure10.1 Verify that the funnel and cup are both clean and dry.10.2 Cover the Marsh Funnel orifice with a finger and pourthe freshly sampled slurry through the screen into the uprightfunnel.10.3 Holding the funnel over the graduated cup, remove thefinger and start the timer.10.4 Me
