Slurry Flow Rate on Silt Fence?

Requirements for Silt Fence Fabric

What slurry flow rate can the material used on your silt fence withstand?

Thank you for your inquiry! Our Silt Fence is made with geotextile fabrics such as polypropylene, nylon or polyester. Each fabric that is used for the silt fence must five different minimum requirements. Among these requirements is a minimum slurry flow rate of 0.3 gallons per square feet per minute (0.3 gal/ft2/min).

Some other requirements that these fabrics must meet include a minimum filtering efficiency of 75-85% and a minimum ultraviolet radiation allowance of 90%. All of these requirements are designed to help your fence maintain a solid and firm structure while stored outdoors and in constant contact with with various different sediments. Requirements for your specific state or area may be slightly different so you should also check with your local regulatory agency to make sure that you are in compliance.
