The methods are applicable

21、 for in situ pore water pressure measurements in the field, as well as for monitoring pore water pressure in, for example, plant containers or soil cores used in experimental procedures. At normal atmospheric pressures, i.e.about100kPa, the application of these methods is limited to a range of press

22、ures down to about85kPa. The range is reduced at lower atmospheric pressures. Tensiometers will not function if sub-zero temperatures occur at the measurement depth. Their accuracy is influenced by soil and air temperature fluctuations. Tensiometer response time ranges from a few seconds to several

23、days. To obtain reliable measurements under field conditions, tensiometers require frequent servicing. A tensiometer provides point measurements of pore water pressure. To measure pore water pressure at different depths, several tensiometers will be necessary. In the field, replicate sets of instrum

24、ents will be required if the spatial variability of the soil is to be allowed for. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply. NOTE 1Additional definitions are given in E.2, for information only. 2.1 pore water pressure the sum of matric and pneuma

25、tic pressures NOTE 2Pore water pressure is also referred to as tensiometer pressure. NOTE 3The pore water pressure represents the sum of the pressures due to interfacial forces acting between the water, air and solid phases of the soil (matric pressure), the part of the mass of overlying material no

26、t carried by the soil skeleton and therefore carried by the soil water (overburden pressure; this pressure is often considered as part of the matric pressure) and the local air pressure within the soil (pneumatic pressure). Under most circumstances, the overburden and pneumatic pressures are zero. 2

27、.2 matric pressure the amount of work that must be done in order to transport reversibly and isothermally an infinitesimal quantity of water, identical in composition to the soil water, from a pool at the elevation and the external gas pressure of the point under consideration, to the soil water at

28、the point under consideration, divided by the volume of water transported 2.3 pneumatic pressure the amount of work that must be done in order to transport reversibly and isothermally an infinitesimal quantity of water, identical in composition to the soil water, from a pool at atmospheric pressure

29、and at the elevation of the point under consideration, to a similar pool at an external gas pressure of the point under consideration, divided by the volume of water transported NOTE 4Soil water pressure can be considered as a pressure equivalent of soil water potential. The same applies to the soil

30、 water head, the head equivalent of soil water potential. The relationship between these is ? w = p hg w In this International Standard pressure equivalents and soil water potentials are used. The corresponding unit of measurement is the pascal (Pa).Table 1 provides conversions between soil water po

31、tential and its pressure and head equivalents. 3 Principle A tensiometer comprises a porous cup that ispermeable to water connected to a pressure-measuring device. The pores of the wall of the cup are small enough to prevent air passing through when it is wet. The porous cup is filled with water. Wh

32、en the cup is placed in the soil, water within the tensiometer flows through the porous wall to the soil, or soil water flows into the tensiometer, until the pressure of the water on both sides of the porous wall is equal. When equilibrium has been reached, the measured pressure of the water inside

33、the tensiometer, after correction for the difference in height between the pressure sensor and the porous cup equals the pore water pressure of the soil water at the position of the porous cup. where ? is the soil water potential, in joules per kilogram on a mass basis; p is the pressure equivalent

34、of soil water potential, injoules per cubic metre on a volume basis(1j/m 3 =1N/m 2 =1Pa); h is the head equivalent of soil water potential, in joules per newton on a force basis(1J/N=1m); w is the density of water, in kilograms per cubic metre; g is the acceleration due to gravity, in metres per sec

35、ond squared. BS EN ISO 11276:2014 ISO 11276:19952 BSI 03-2000 4 Apparatus 4.1 Tensiometer, usually consisting of a porous cup, a connecting tube and/or a body tube, a pressure sensor and a mechanism for expelling any air which accumulates within the tensiometer. The details of the design depend prim

36、arily on whether the instrument is intended for field or indoor use and the type of pressure sensor employed; examples are shown inFigure 1.Annex B provides information on materials for the construction of tensiometers and on their construction. 4.1.1 Porous cup, made of a porous material of air-ent

37、ry value (i.e.the pressure required to force air through the water-saturated cup) larger in magnitude than the lowest pore water pressure to be measured and the known hydraulic conductivity. The material shall be rigid and not subject to degradation in soil. Usually unglazed ceramic is used; alterna

38、tives are described inAnnex B. 4.1.2 Connecting and body tubes, made from appropriate materials of low permeability to water and gas and connected by leakproof joints. Rigid or semi-rigid tubing shall be used to connect the tensiometer to the pressure sensor (seeAnnex B). The function of the connect

39、ing tube may, in part or totally, be served by the body tube. The body tube usually fills the hole remaining above or behind the tensiometer cup after inserting it into the soil. It is a rigid tube with the same outside diameter as the porous cup. In many designs, it is filled with water, but in oth

40、ers it forms a casing for smaller tubes connected to the porous cup and/or cables attached to a pressure transducer located behind the cup. Table 1 Conversions between soil water potential and its pressure and head equivalents 4.1.3 Pressure sensors. Several forms are used in tensiometers, the most

41、common being mercury manometers, Bourdon gauges and electrical pressure transducers. The use of other types of manometer is permissible. The accuracy of the pressure sensor determines how accurately the pressure of the water within the tensiometer can be measured. Annex A details the construction an

42、d use of mercury manometers for use with tensiometers. The other pressure sensors are described inAnnex C. The accuracy of Bourdon gauge and pressure transducer tensiometers shall be verified before installation and at least annually thereafter. NOTE 5The accuracy of instruments used in the field ma

43、y be tested with a mercury manometer reference. The complete tensiometer assembly can be tested in the field by inserting a “T” piece into the connecting tube. When required, another connecting tube is attached to it for connection to a mercury manometer. Should greater accuracy be required for labo

44、ratory purposes, specialized testing equipment will be necessary. 4.2 Tensiometer construction Details of materials for constructing tensiometers and of their construction are given in Annex B. Since the interior of a tensiometer installed in unsaturated soil is under a partial vacuum, it is essenti

45、al that all possible leakage points are made as secure as possible. The number of joints in the system shall be kept to the minimum possible. Adhesive joints shall be made so that the void space between components is filled completely. Joints relying on a tight fit of two materials, for example stop

46、pers, shall be correctly sized, with as large an area of contact as possible. The system is used in a damp environment. Hence all materials shall be chosen to resist moisture. Thisapplies particularly to adhesives, some kinds of which may soften or swell (leading to failure of cemented parts) in dam

47、p conditions. If a tensiometer assembly of new design or of untried materials is to be used, it shall be tested for leaks under pressure and/or under vacuum before installation. This procedure is recommended for all installations. Parameter to be converted Pressure equivalent (Pa) Head equivalent (m

Install each tensiometer so that the centre of the porous cup is at the depth at which measurement is required. Ensure minimal disturbance to the soil that will surround the tensiometer, both at
