Test: Filter Media - Question 3

 Consider the following statements regarding sand as filter material.
1. It should be free from clay or silt
2. Organic matter should be present in the sand
3. It should be nonuniform
Which of the above statement is/are correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 3

Explanation: Sand used as a filter material should be free from clay, silt, organic matter or other impurity. It should be uniform and of proper size.

Test: Filter Media - Question 4

The uniformity characteristics of sand expressed in terms of .

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 4

Explanation: The uniformity characteristics of sand are expressed in terms of effective size and uniformity coefficient. Effective size is called as effective diameter and uniformity coefficient is a measure of particle range.

Test: Filter Media - Question 5

____ represents the size of sand particle such that 10% of particles are finer than this size. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 5

Explanation: D10 represents the size of sand particle such that 10% of particles are finer than this size. It is also called the effective size or effective diameter and is measured in mm.

Test: Filter Media - Question 6

 What is CU in the expression CU= D60/D10 where D60 and D10 are the sizes of particle such that 60% and 10% of the particles are finer than these sizes respectively? 

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 6

Explanation: The uniformity coefficient is a measure of particle range and it is the ratio of D60 and D10 sizes. It is denoted by CU.

Test: Filter Media - Question 7

 The effective size of sand of the slow sand filter is

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 7

Explanation: The effective size of sand of the slow sand filter is 0.2-0.3mm and for rapid sand filter, the effective size is 0.4-0.7mm.

Test: Filter Media - Question 8

What is the value of specific gravity of sand filter?

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 8

Explanation: The specific gravity of sand filter lies in the range of 2.55-2.65. So, the value 2.6 lies in the range of specific gravity of sand filter.

Test: Filter Media - Question 9

The value of uniformity coefficient for uniformly graded sand is ______

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 9

Explanation: Uniformity coefficient CU= D60/D10
For uniformly graded sand, CU= 1
So, D60 = D10.

Test: Filter Media - Question 10

The value of specific gravity for Garnet sand is ____

Detailed Solution for Test: Filter Media - Question 10

Explanation: Garnet sand is a dense material with a specific gravity of 4.2 and is used as a constituent in mixed media filter. It is a costlier filter material.
