Standard Practice for Testing of Factory Thermo-Fusion Seams for Fabricated Geomembrane Panels

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice is intended to aid fabricators, suppliers, purchasers, and users of fabricated panels in the testing requirements for factory-created seams during fabrication of geomembrane panels.

4.2 Factory seaming of geomembranes has advantages over field seaming including less temperature variation, no wind, fewer contamination (soil and water) concerns, a consistent work surface for welding, and options for factory equipment that may not be robust enough for the field environment. This results in factory welds more consistent than field seams and allows for a lesser frequency of testing than for field seams.

4.3 This guide is not intended to replace project-specific seaming and testing requirements or quality assurance programs.
