Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seams Produced Using Thermo-Fusion Methods for Reinforced Geomembranes by the Grab Method

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The use of reinforced geomembranes as barrier materials has created a need for a standard test method to evaluate the quality of seams produced by thermo-fusion methods. This test method is used for quality control purposes and is intended to provide quality control and quality assurance personnel with data to evaluate seam quality.

4.2 Values obtained with this method can be correlated to Test Method D7004/D7004M. The purpose of correlating these methods was for the strength of parent material measured in Test Method D7004/D7004M to be comparable to seam strength measured by the test outlined here. The value obtained with this method cannot be compared to values for strip method, Test Method D7003/D7003M, for parent material or Test Method D7747/D7747M, strip method for reinforced seams.
