BS EN 16416:2013EN 16416:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes an index test method that covers laboratory measurement of water flux through saturated clay geosynthe

17、tic barrier (GBR-C) specimens using a flexible wall permeameter at constant head. This test method is applicable to GBR-C products with no additional sealing layers attached. This test method provides a measurement of flux under a prescribed set of conditions that can be used for manufacturing quali

18、ty control. The test method can also be used to check conformance. The flux value determined using this test method is not considered to be representative of the in-service flux of a GBR-C. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this docume

21、 per unit area normal to the plane of the product at a defined head SOURCE: EN ISO 10318, 4.3.3 4 Apparatus The apparatus shall consist of the following. 4.1 Constant head hydraulic system 4.1.1 General The system shall be capable of maintaining constant hydraulic pressures to within 2,5 % and shall

22、 include means to measure the hydraulic pressures to within the prescribed tolerance. In addition, the system shall be capable of maintaining a constant head loss across the test specimen to within 5 % and shall include means to measure the head loss with the same accuracy or better. BS EN 16416:201

23、3EN 16416:2013 (E) 5 4.1.2 System de-airing The hydraulic system shall be designed to facilitate rapid and complete removal of free air bubbles from flow lines. 4.1.3 Cell pressure system The hydraulic system shall have the capability to apply back pressure to the specimen to facilitate saturation.

24、The system shall be capable of maintaining the applied back pressure throughout the duration of the test. The cell pressure system shall be capable of applying, controlling, and measuring the back pressure to within 2,5 % of the applied pressure. The back pressure may be provided by a compressed gas

25、 supply, a deadweight acting on a piston, or any other method capable of applying and controlling the back pressure to the tolerance specified in this paragraph. NOTE Application of gas pressure directly to a liquid will dissolve gas in the liquid. A variety of techniques are available to minimise d

26、issolution of gas in the back pressure liquid, including separation of gas and liquid phases with a bladder and frequent replacement of the liquid with de-aired water. 4.2 Flow Measurement System 4.2.1 Accuracy of inflow and outflow Both inflow and outflow volumes shall be measured unless the lack o

27、f leakage, continuity of flow, and cessation of consolidation or swelling can be verified by other means. Required accuracy for the flow measured over an interval of time is 5 %. 4.2.2 De-airing and compliance of the system The flow-measurement system shall contain a minimum of dead space and be cap

28、able of complete and rapid de-airing. Rigid tubing shall be used so that volume change of the system in response to changes in pressure is minimised. 4.3 Permeameter cell pressure system The system for pressurising the permeameter cell shall be capable of applying and maintaining the cell pressure t

29、o within 2,5 % of the applied pressure. However, the effective stress on the test specimen shall be maintained to the desired value with an accuracy of 5 %. The device for pressurising the cell may consist of a reservoir connected to the permeameter cell and partially filled with de-aired water, wit

30、h the upper part of the reservoir connected to a compressed gas supply or other source of pressure (see NOTE). NOTE De-aired water is commonly used for the cell liquid to minimise potential for diffusion of air through the membrane into the specimen. Other liquids, such as oils, which have low gas s

31、olubilities, are also acceptable, provided they do not react with components of the permeameter and the flexible membrane. The use of a long (approximately 5 m to 7 m) tube connecting the pressurised cell liquid to the cell can help delay the appearance of air in the cell liquid and to reduce the fl

32、ux of dissolved air into the cell. 4.4 Permeameter Cell An apparatus shall be provided in which the specimen and porous end pieces, enclosed by a flexible membrane sealed to the cap and base, are subjected to controlled liquid pressures. A schematic diagram of a typical cell is shown in Figure 1. Th

33、e permeameter cell shall allow for observation of changes in height of the specimen, either by observation through the cell wall using a suitable instrument or by monitoring of either a loading piston or an extensometer extending through the top plate of the cell bearing on the top cap and attached

34、to a suitable measuring device. The piston or extensometer if used shall pass through a bushing and seal incorporated into the top plate and shall be loaded with sufficient force to compensate for the cell pressure acting over the cross-sectional area of the piston where it passes through the seal.

35、If deformations are measured, the deformation indicator BS EN 16416:2013EN 16416:2013 (E) 6 shall be graduated to 0,01 mm or better and shall have an adequate travel range. This piston or extensometer shall not restrict the swelling of the specimen. To facilitate gas removal, and thus saturation of

36、the hydraulic system, four drainage lines leading to the specimen, two each to the base and top cap, are recommended. The drainage lines shall be controlled by no-volume-change valves, such as ball valves, and shall be designed to minimise dead space in the lines. 4.5 Top cap and base An impermeable

37、, rigid top cap and base shall be used to support the specimen and provide for transmission of permeant liquid to and from the specimen. The base shall prevent leakage, lateral motion, or tilting, and the top cap shall be designed to receive the piston or extensometer, if used, such that the piston-

38、to-top cap contact area is concentric with the cap. The surface of the base and top cap that contacts the membrane to form a seal shall be smooth and free of scratches.

39、ring device 8 inflow volume measuring device 9 vent lines Figure 1 Permeameter cell and test set-up 4.6 Flexible membranes The flexible membrane used to encase the specimen shall provide reliable protection against leakage. The membrane shall be carefully inspected prior to use and if any flaws or p

40、inholes are evident, the membrane shall be discarded. To minimise restraint of the specimen, the diameter or width of the unstretched membrane shall be between 90 % and 95 % of that of the specimen. The membrane shall be sealed to each of the BS EN 16416:2013EN 16416:2013 (E) 7 specimen base and cap

41、 with two rubber O-rings for which the unstressed, inside diameter or width is less than 90 % of the diameter or width of the base and cap, or by any other method that will produce an adequate seal. NOTE If necessary, membranes can be tested for flaws by placing them around a form sealed at both end

42、s with rubber O-rings, subjecting them to a small air pressure on the inside, and then dipping them into water. If air bubbles come up from any point on the membrane, or if any visible flaws are observed, the membrane is not suitable for use in the test. 4.7 Porous end pieces The porous end pieces s

43、hall be of material that is not attacked by the specimen or permeant liquid. The end pieces shall have plane and smooth surfaces and be free of cracks, chips, and non-uniformities. They shall be checked regularly to ensure that they are not clogged. The porous end pieces shall have a diameter no gre

44、ater than (100 2) mm, and their thickness shall be sufficient to prevent breaking. The hydraulic conductivity of the porous end pieces shall be substantially greater than that of the specimen to be tested such that there is no significant impedance of flow. Including the porous end pieces in the pro

45、cedures described in 7.1 will ensure that no significant impedance occurs. 4.8 Filter paper To prevent intrusion of material into the pores of the porous end pieces, one or more sheets of filter paper shall be placed between the top and bottom porous end pieces and the specimen. The hydraulic conduc

46、tivity of the filter paper shall be substantially greater than that of the specimen to be tested such that there is no significant impedance of flow. Including the filter paper in the procedures set forth in 7.1 will ensure that no significant impedance occurs. NOTE An appropriate type of filter pap

47、er is Whatman No. 1 (or equivalent).1)4.9 Devices for measuring the dimensions of the specimen Devices used to measure dimensions of the specimen other than the thickness shall be capable of measuring with an accuracy of 0,3 mm or better and shall be constructed such that their use will not disturb

48、the specimen. 4.10 Equipment for mounting the specimen Equipment for mounting the specimen in the permeameter cell shall include a membrane stretcher or cylinder and ring for expanding and placing O-rings on the base and top cap to seal the membrane. 4.11 Vacuum pump This pump assists with the de-ai

49、ring of the permeameter system and the saturation of the specimens. 4.12 Temperature maintaining device Testing shall be carried out at ambient temperature that shall not vary more than 3 C. This temperature shall be periodically measured and recorded, at a minimum, at the beginning of the permeation phase and at the end of the permeation phase of the test. 1) Whatman No.1 is an example of a suitable product available commercially.
