18、ethod4.1 The measurement procedure, as described in Section 9of this test method for determining the ORP of a soil sample,aids in determining the corrosivity of that sample.4.2 Soil ORP can be measured in a field or laboratorysetting.4.3 While the primary purpose of this test method ismeasuring soil

19、 ORP, it may also be used as a general indicatorof ORP in groundwater. Test Method D1498 was specificallydeveloped for accurate ORP measurements of aqueoussamples.5. Significance and Use5.1 Soil ORP, in conjunction with other soil characteristicssuch as electrical resistivity (see Test Methods G57 a

20、nd G187),is used to predict corrosion tendencies of buried metallicstructures (for example, pipelines and culverts. The ORP of thesoil is one of many factors that influence structure service life.Its measurement is used in the design of new buried structuresand in the evaluation of existing buried s

21、tructures.5.2 Soil ORP is a time-sensitive measurement. For anaccurate indication of soil corrosivity, the measurement shouldbe made as soon as practicable after removal of the soil samplefrom the ground.5.3 The user of this test method is responsible for determin-ing the significance of reported OR

22、Pmeasurements. ORPaloneshould typically not be used in characterizing the corrosivity ofa particular soil. ORP measurements are appropriate whenevaluating oxygen related reactions.5.4 ORPmeasurements can sometimes be quite variable andnon-reproducible. This is related, in part, to the generalheterog

23、eneity of a given soil. It is also related to the introduc-tion of increased oxygen into the sample after extraction. Theinterpretation of soil ORP should be considered in terms of itsgeneral range rather than as an absolute measurement.5.5 ORP measurements can be used to determine if aparticular so

24、il has the propensity to support microbiologicallyinfluenced corrosion (MIC) attack. These measurements canalso be used to provide an indication of whether soil conditionswill be aerobic or anaerobic. Appendix X1 provides referenceguidelines for general interpretation of ORP data.6. Apparatus6.1 The

25、 equipment required for the measurement of soilORP, either in the field or in the laboratory, consists of:6.1.1 ORP Meter.6.1.2 Compatible Two-Electrode Combination ORP Elec-trode (Probe)A main probe and a backup probe are recom-mended.NOTE 1This test method calls for soil ORP measurements to utiliz

26、e acommercially available combination electrode (inert metal and referencecombined in one probe). Commercially available ORP combinationelectrodes are generally platinum (inert metal) with silver/silver chloride(reference) in a 3.5 to 4 M KCl electrolyte.6.1.3 Operating InstructionsFor ORP meter and

27、 ORPelectrode.6.1.4 Calibration Solution(s)For verification of measur-ing system accuracy within the range of expected ORP values.Calibration solutions should remain uncontaminated. Theytypically have a published shelf life of no more than 1 year andshould not be used once the shelf life is exceeded

28、. Calibrationsolutions can be obtained commercially or may be mixed in thelaboratory using standard pH buffers (4 and 7) and quinhy-drone.NOTE 2Commercially available ORP calibration solution valuesshould be appropriate for the combination electrode (platinum andsilver/silver chloride) used. Calibra

29、tion kits utilizing pH buffers andquinhydrone solutions are generally used for the platinum and silver/silverchloride combination electrode.6.1.5 Clear Plastic or Polyethylene Bags1 gal (3.785 L)size is typical, or other convenient means to collect the soilsample and to compress the sample while und

30、er test. One cleanand dry bag should be used for each sample. Do not reuse.6.1.6 Squirt Bottle and Soft ToothbrushBottle with goose-neck (or similar) filled with distilled or deionized water andsoft toothbrush (or similar) for cleaning ORP electrode aftereach measurement. Cleaning procedures should

31、be in accor-dance with the probe manufacturers written instructions andshould in no way damage the probe or otherwise compromisethe ORP measurement.7. Sampling7.1 Generally, collected soil samples to be tested in thelaboratory shall be placed in an appropriate sealable containeror polyethylene type

32、bag. This allows containers to be identi-fied by location, date/time sample was collected, etc.7.2 Soil samples shall be representative of the area ofinterest. Where the stratum of interest contains a variety of soiltypes, it is desirable to sample each type separately. Soilsamples to be tested in t

33、he laboratory shall be allowed to reachroom temperature, approximately 68F (20C), prior to theORP measurement. Field measurements shall reflect the soilstemperature during testing.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Turn on the ORP meter in accordance with the metermanufacturers written instructio

34、ns. Allow sufficient warm-up/stabilization time as specified by the manufacturer.8.2 Check the meter “zero” by shorting the input connectionin accordance with the manufacturers instructions. For a BNCG200 09 (2014)2type connection and probe cable, a paper clip between themeter input center connectio

35、n and outer shield (ground)typically suffices. With the input shorted, adjust the meter asnecessary in accordance with the manufacturers instructionsso it is no greater than 60.5 mV. A meter that cannot be zeroedto within 60.5 mV may be faulty and should not be used.8.3 Clean the ORP probe with thre

36、e changes of distilled ordeionized water or by means of a flowing stream of distilled ordeionized water from a wash bottle or other source.8.4 Calibration Procedure using Commercially AvailableCalibration SolutionWith the cleaned ORP probe connectedto the properly operating ORP meter, place the ORP

37、probeelement in one or more calibration solutions and measure theresponses. For non-adjustment type meters, the ORP readingshould be within 30 mV of the stated calibration solutionpotential for platinum and silver/silver chloride probe. Formeters that can be adjusted, adjust the reading in accordanc

38、ewith the manufacturers instructions to the stated potential forthe calibration solution. Once an initial, stable reading isobtained, remove the probe and place in a fresh sample of thesame calibration solution. The second reading should differfrom the first by no more than 10 mV. Rinse the ORP prob

39、ewith distilled or deionized water between readings if more thanone calibration solution is used, that is, solutions with differentORP values.8.5 Calibration Procedure using pH Buffers and Quinhy-drone Calibration SolutionIna4oz(118.4 mL) beaker, pour0.5 oz (14.8 mL) of pH 7 buffer. Using a wood app

This readingshould be between +170 mV and +185 mV above the readingin the 7 buffer mixture.8.6 The buffer/quinhydrone mixtures should be freshlymade each time the ORP electrodes are calibrated. Do not storethe mixtures or use after2hastheir values

44、can change withtime.9. Procedure9.1 Remove all stones, pebbles, gravel, roots, twigs andother deleterious material from the soil sample that could breakor abrade the ORP probe sense element. Place the suitablesample in a clear plastic bag.9.2 Adjust the ORP meter, and calibrate and clean the ORPprob

45、e, in accordance with Section 8. The probe should berinsed in distilled or deionized water after removing from thecalibration solution(s).9.3 Carefully insert the ORP probe vertically into the centerof the soil sample so a minimum of 2 in. (5.08 cm) of the probebarrel (lower portion) is covered. The

46、re should be a minimumof 2 in. (5.08 cm) of soil around the probe in all directions.Avoid exerting pressure, since the sense element is fragile andmay break.9.4 Squeeze the bagged soil around the probe barrel andsense element to assure a tight, complete contact between thesense element and the soil.

47、 For “soft” (loose) soils, the probeshould be gently pushed in to the soil sample, lightly compact-ing the soil around the probe tip as necessary.9.5 With the probe stationary, observe the meter readingwaiting until it stabilizes or 2 min, whichever occurs first.Certain ORP meters have a stabilizati

48、on/lock-hold functionthat can be used as appropriate to capture a stable readingbased on meter-specific processing and algorithms. For this testmethod, readings that vary less than 30 mV over a 2 min periodshould be considered stable with the least positive or mostnegative potential recorded.NOTE 3I

49、n certain soils (for example, heavy mucks) there can be aconsiderable range in ORP within a given sample from one measurementlocation to the next. In such instances, it is best to “probe” with theelectrode in a few locations within the sample until the least positive ormost negative potential is determined.9.6 Clean the probe with distilled or deionized water includ-ing removing any lodged material from the sensor area.9.7 Repeat Steps 9.3 9.6 two times inserting the probe atdifferent locations within the sample. For each location, oncethe readin
