Geosynthetic barriers - Determination of permeability to liquids

This European Standard specifies a method for measuring the steady-state liquid flow through a geosynthetic barrier, used to contain liquids in long-term applications.
The test method and described apparatus allow the measurement of flows accurately down to 10-6 m3/m2/day. In particular circumstances where testing indicates that values obtained for a geosynthetic barrier lie below the threshold of sensitivity of this test method, then the value of liquid flow is declared as being less than
10-6 m3/m2/day.
Due to its long duration this test method is not suitable for production control testing.
Geosynthetic clay liners cannot be tested with this apparatus.

Geosynthetische Dichtungsbahnen - Bestimmung der Flüssigkeitsdurchlässigkeit

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Messung des stationären Flüssigkeitsdurchflusses durch eine geosynthetische Dichtungsbahn fest, die eingesetzt wird, um Flüssigkeiten bei Langzeitanwendungen aufzunehmen.
Das Prüfverfahren und die beschriebenen Prüfeinrichtungen ermöglichen die genaue Messung von Durchflüssen bis zu 10 6 m3 × m-2 × d-1. Unter besonderen Umständen, wenn die Prüfung ergibt, dass die für die geosynthetischen Dichtungsbahnen ermittelten Werte unterhalb des Schwellenwertes dieses Prüfverfahrens liegen, wird der Wert des Flüssigkeitsdurchflusses mit weniger als 10 6 m3 × m-2 × d-1 angegeben.
Wegen der langen Prüfungsdauer ist dieses Prüfverfahren nicht für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle geeignet.
Geosynthetische Tondichtungsbahnen können mit dieser Prüfeinrichtung nicht geprüft werden.

Géomembranes - Détermination de la perméabilité aux liquides

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode pour mesurer le flux d’un liquide en régime permanent a travers une géomembrane utilisée pour contenir des liquides dans des applications de longue durée.
La méthode d’essai et l’appareillage décrit permettent le mesurage de flux inférieurs ou égaux a 10 6 m3/m2/j 1. Dans le cas particulier ou, lors de l’essai, les valeurs obtenues pour une géomembrane sont inférieures au seuil de sensibilité de la présente méthode, la valeur de flux du liquide est alors déclarée inférieure a 10 6 m3/m2/j 1.
En raison de sa longue durée, la présente méthode d’essai ne convient pas aux essais de contrôle de production.
Les géosynthétiques bentonitiques ne peuvent etre soumis a l’essai au moyen du présent appareillage.

EN 14150:2006 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 14150:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 189 “Geosynthetics”, the secretariat of which is held by IBN/BIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2006. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 14150:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for measuring the steady-state liquid flow through a geosynthetic barrier, used to contain liquids in long-term applications. The test method and described apparatus allow the measurement of flows accurately down to 10-6 m3/m2/day. In particular circumstances where testing indicates that values obtained for a geosynthetic barrier lie below the threshold of sensitivity of this test method, then the value of liquid flow is declared as being less than
10-6 m3/m2/day. Due to its long duration this test method is not suitable for production control testing. Geosynthetic clay liners cannot be tested with this apparatus. 2 Normative references Not applicable 3 Principle A differential hydraulic pressure is applied between the two sides of a geosynthetic barrier. It is kept constant during the test at 100 kPa, the upstream pressure being set to 150 kPa, and the downstream pressure to
50 kPa. The flow through the geosynthetic barrier is calculated from the variations of the liquid volume measured on both sides of the geosynthetic barrier. NOTE 1 This test is conducted with water, but can also be performed with other liquids, providing chemical resistance and compatibility of the apparatus is ensured. NOTE 2 In the light of laboratory experience, test procedural improvement and equipment enhancement the sensitivity threshold of the test procedure should be reviewed and the applicability of the test procedure to the product permeability assessed at regular intervals, not exceeding 12 months. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Cell The two-part cell (see Figure 1) is made of stainless steel. The cell shall resist to oxidation during long-term immersion. In each part of the cell, a cavity allows to apply a hydraulic pressure. A porous disc placed in the downstream cavity prevents deformations of the geosynthetic barrier.

Key 1 downstream part 2 upstream part 3 geosynthetic barrier 4 porous plate
U water inlet D water outlet FU flushing valve upstream FD flushing valve downstream Figure 1 — Schematic representation of a test cell The cell shall be designed to clamp the specimen without any leaks. There is no tightening system necessary, as clamping between flat surfaces is usually sufficient. For some materials, a sealant may be necessary. Any sealant non-sensitive to water and avoiding leaks can be used. In the case of bituminous geosynthetic barriers, a bitumen rubber sealant can be used. The measuring chambers shall have a nominal diameter equal to or greater than 200 mm. This diameter shall be measured with an accuracy equal to or better than 1 mm. The cell is equipped with a liquid inlet on the upstream part (U-valve) and a liquid outlet on the downstream part (D-valve) and flushing valves on each part (FU- and FD-valves). The cell should be oriented vertically to allow an easier and better air flushing. The flushing valves (FU and FD) should be placed on top of the cell and the inlet (U) and outlet (D) should be on the bottom of the cell. NOTE The cell can also include, on both parts, a ring-shaped control chamber. The downstream control chamber will be equipped with a porous ring-shaped plate. Each ring-shaped chamber will be connected to an independent volume measuring device and a pressure delivery system, in order to apply the same pressure as in the corresponding measuring chamber. These ring-shaped chambers are there to minimise deformation in the measuring chamber. 4.2 Volume measuring devices and pressure delivery system These two devices are generally associated. The volume measuring equipment shall be able to measure liquid flows through the geosynthetic barrier smaller than 10-6 m3 /m2/day. The accuracy of the volume measurement shall be at least 10-8 m3. The accuracy of the pressure applied on each side of the geosynthetic barrier shall be ± 2 kPa. The volume measurements can be achieved using capillary tubes (Type A device) or pressure-volume controllers (Type B device).



EN 14150:2006 (E) 6 — Type A (see Figure 2): 30 cm long tubes can be used. To reduce the effects of evaporation the tube diameter should be less than 3 mm. The pressure is applied by means of air pressure in capillary tubes and controlled with a regulator. A liquid vessel connected to the cell, between each capillary tube and the cell, allows the cavities to be filled before the test and enables the adjustment of liquid levels in capillary tubes during the test. Due to temperature effects on volume, tests performed with this kind of apparatus should be carried out in a thermostatic chamber (23 ± 0,2) °C.
