(15.2-cm)mark of the inner cylinder is level with the top of the outercylinder.7. Conditioning7.1 Before conducting the tests, fill the apparatus with wateran

18、d determine the elapsed time in seconds that it takes for thewater level to fall 2 in. (5.08 cm), between the 6- and 8-in.(15.2- and 20.3-cm) marks. This value will be used to establishthe upper limit on the measurement of water permeability usingthe apparatus8. Procedure8.1 Place the sieve disc int

19、o the inner cylinder. Fill with thegranular material. Take care to prevent segregation of finerparticles within the column. Shake or vibrate the materialvigorously to compact it into the cylinder. Fill to the 8-in.(20.3-cm) mark. If the specific gravity of the particles is lessthan 1.0, place a siev

20、e disc on top of the sample and weighdown with glass marbles.8.2 Begin introducing water into the inner cylinder. Thewater will fill the inner and outer cylinders and begin tooverflow. Continue to introduce water for 30 min. As neces-sary, add more media to maintain the level of the media at the8-in
