milliliters of solution through the same filter (operating at the constant pressure 30 pounds per square inch gauge) 15
minutes later. Between these two time periods (TB = 15 minutes) the solution must be continuously fed to the membrane
filter under a constant 30-pound-per-square-inch gauge pressure differential. The silt density index is then calculated in
the following manner:
Symbols:
T1 =Time for first 0.132 gallons to pass filter
TB = Time between two measured 500-milliliter samples, usually 15 minutes
T2 =
Time for second 500-milliliter sample to pass filter
SDI = Silt Density Index
