3、t of flux through saturated geosyntheticclay liner(GCL)specimens using a flexible wall permeameter.1.2 This test method is applicable to GCL products havinggeotextile backing(s).It is not applicable to GCL products withgeomembrane backing(s),geofilm backing(s)or polymer coat-ing backing(s).1.3 This
4、test method provides a measurement of flux undera prescribed set of conditions that can be used for manufactur-ing quality control.The test method can also be used to checkconformance.The flux value determined using this test methodis not considered to be representative of the in-service flux ofGCLs
5、.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the

11、his test method involves permeation of a 100-mm4-in.diameter GCL test specimen.The specimen is set up ina flexible-wall permeameter,subjected to a total stress of550 kPa 80 psi and a backpressure of 515 kPa 75 psi for aperiod of 48 h.Flow is initiated using deionized water byraising the pressure on
12、the influent side of the test specimen to530 kPa 77 psi.The flux is determined when inflow andoutflow are approximately equal(within 625%).5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method yields the flux of water through asaturated GCL specimen that is consolidated,hydrated,andpermeated under a prescribed
13、 set of conditions.5.2 This test method can be performed to determine if theflux of a GCL specimen exceeds the maximum value stated bythe manufacturer.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 onGeosynthetics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.04 on Geosyn-t
