Description

1.1 This test method covers an analytical procedure for determining transmissivity and storage coefficient of a nonleaky confined aquifer under conditions of radial flow to a fully penetrating well of constant flux. This test method is a shortcut procedure used to apply the Theis nonequilibrium method. The Theis method is described in Test Method D 4106.

1.2 This test method is used in conjunction with the field procedure given in Test Method D 4050.

1.3 Limitations – The limitations of this test method are primarily related to the correspondence between the field situation and the simplifying assumptions of this test method (see ). Furthermore, application is valid only for values of uless than 0.01 (u is defined in Eqn. 1, in ).

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

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