Standard Test Method for Silt Density Index (SDI) of Water

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The SDI can serve as a useful indication of the quantity of particulate matter in water.

5.2 The SDI can be used to determine effectiveness of various processes such as filtration or clarification used to remove particulate matter.

5.3 The SDI has been empirically correlated with the fouling tendency of some water treatment equipment such as reverse osmosis devices.

5.4 The SDI may vary as a function of water temperature, and values obtained at different temperatures may not necessarily be comparable.

5.5 The SDI can vary with the membrane filter manufacturer. Thus, SDI values obtained with filters from different membrane manufacturers might not be comparable.
