ASTM D5891 Test for Fluid Loss of Clay Component of Geosynthetic Clay Liners

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D5891 testing. This standard specifies an index method for evaluating the fluid loss properties of a clay mineral film deposited on a filter paper from a 100% solid clay mineral slurry at 6 psi (-kPa) pressure as a measure of its usefulness.

This test method is adapted from the American Petroleum Institute drilling fluid specifications for bentonite.

The powdered clay mineral is tested as it is produced; The granular clay mineral, together with all the ground product used for testing, must be ground to 100%, with at least 65% of the 200 mesh US Standard Screen passing through the 100 mesh US Standard Screen.

Values ​​stated in SI units will be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
