Field Methods for the Full Scale Tests Sample Clauses

Field Methods for the Full Scale Tests. Figure 4.1 illustrates a typical configuration for the full-scale flood tests that were completed as part of the current study. A pressure transducer was used to measure the water level in the pond as a function of time. During the filling stage of the test, which typically lasted several hours, water was discharged into the pond and the depth of water increased. The draining stage of the test started when the discharge was terminated. The water level in the pond decreased with time during this draining stage as the water infiltrated through the bottom and sides of the pond. The draining stage lasted from 12 hours to several days, depending upon the rate of infiltration. The pressure transducer, model 15 PSI PS9800 from Instrumentation Northwest, Inc., has an accuracy of 0.1 percent. For a water level in a pond of 24 inches (61 cm), the degree of accuracy is ± 0.18 inches (0.45 cm). The transducer, supported by a steel post that is driven into the pond bottom, measures the height of water above the bottom of the transducer. The transducer is connected to an automatic data acquisition system that collects measurements at pre-determined time intervals. For this study the time interval was 10 minutes. The water used to fill the ponds was obtained by connecting a 2.5-inch (6.35-cm) diameter hose to a fire hydrant. The flow rate, which was controlled with a valve at the hydrant, was measured with a water meter provided by the local water utilities. These meters measure to the nearest 10 cubic feet (0.3 cubic meter). Surveying measurements were taken to calculate the pond geometry. A level and tripod were used to measure elevation along the pond bottom and side slopes. Elevation measurements were collected along transects with a horizontal spacing between measurements of approximately 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m), depending on the site. The length and width of the pond bottom were measured with a steel tape measurer. The side slopes (change in elevation divided by change in horizontal distance) ranged from 0.3 to 0.7 for the three sites.

  • Loop Testing/Trouble Reporting 2.1.6.1 Telepak Networks will be responsible for testing and isolating troubles on the Loops. Telepak Networks must test and isolate trouble to the BellSouth portion of a designed/non-designed unbundled Loop (e.g., UVL-SL2, UCL-D, UVL-SL1, UCL-ND, etc.) before reporting repair to the UNE Customer Wholesale Interconnection Network Services (CWINS) Center. Upon request from BellSouth at the time of the trouble report, Telepak Networks will be required to provide the results of the Telepak Networks test which indicate a problem on the BellSouth provided Loop. 2.1.6.2 Once Telepak Networks has isolated a trouble to the BellSouth provided Loop, and had issued a trouble report to BellSouth on the Loop, BellSouth will take the actions necessary to repair the Loop if a trouble actually exists. BellSouth will repair these Loops in the same time frames that BellSouth repairs similarly situated Loops to its End Users. 2.1.6.3 If Telepak Networks reports a trouble on a non-designed or designed Loop and no trouble actually exists, BellSouth will charge Telepak Networks for any dispatching and testing (both inside and outside the CO) required by BellSouth in order to confirm the Loop’s working status. 2.1.6.4 In the event BellSouth must dispatch to the end-user’s location more than once due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by Telepak Networks (e.g., incomplete address, incorrect contact name/number, etc.), BellSouth will xxxx Xxxxxxx Networks for each additional dispatch required to repair the circuit due to the incorrect/incomplete information provided. BellSouth will assess the applicable Trouble Determination rates from BellSouth’s FCC or state tariffs.
