Summary of Test Method4.1 The mass per unit area of a geotextile is determined byweighing test specimens of known dimensions, cut fromvarious locations over the full wid

9、th of the laboratory sample.The calculated values are then averaged to obtain the meanmass per unit area of the laboratory sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine if the geotextilematerial meets specifications for mass per unit area. This testmethod can be used for qu

10、ality control to determine specimenconformance. This measurement allows for a simple control ofthe delivered material by a comparison of the mass per unitarea of the delivered material and the specified mass per unitarea.5.2 The procedure in this test method may be used foracceptance testing of comm

11、ercial shipments, but caution isadvised since information about between-laboratory precisionis incomplete. Comparative tests in accordance with 5.2.1 areadvisable.5.2.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using the procedures in this testmethod for acceptance t

12、esting of commercial shipments, thepurchaser and the manufacturer should conduct comparativetests to determine if there is a statistical bias between theirlaboratories. Competent statistical assistance is recommendedfor the investigation of bias. As a minimum, the two partiesshould take a group of t

13、est specimens that are as homogeneousas possible and which are from a lot of material of the type inquestion. The test specimen should then be randomly assignedin equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The averageresults from the two laboratories should be compared using theappropriate studen

14、ts t-test and an acceptable probability levelchosen by the two parties before testing is begun. If a bias isfound, either its cause must be found and corrected or thepurchaser and the manufacturer must agree to interpret futuretest results in light of the known bias.1This test method is under the ju

Sampling7.1 Lot SampleDivide the test specimens into lots, and forthe lot to be tested, take the lot sample in accordance with

17、Practice D 4354.7.2 Laboratory SampleConsider the units in the lotsample as the units in the laboratory sample. For the laboratorysample, take a full width swatch of sufficient length along thesalvage so that the requirements of 7.3 can be met.7.2.1 The laboratory sample should be free from imperfec

18、tions or other areas not representative of the material sampled.7.3 The number of test specimens shall be a minimum offive, cut such that they are representative of the entire rollwidth and with a combined total minimum area of 100 000mm2(155 in.2). Each test specimen shall be equal in area (notles

19、s than 10 000 mm2(15.5 in.2), as described in ISO/DIS9864-1990). Cut each test specimen with an accuracy of60.5 % of its area.NOTE 1For test specimens prepared in the field, larger thanminimum-sized test specimens will be required to stay within the cuttingaccuracy (0.5 %). Field experience has show

20、n that a test specimen with anarea not less than 90 000 mm2(139.5 in.2) will be necessary to achieve therequired accuracy.7.3.1 Cut the test specimens at least one tenth the width ofthe geotextile from any selvage, unless otherwise specified.7.3.2 If the structure of the geotextile is such that thes

21、pecified test specimen size is not representative of thelaboratory sample, a larger size shall be agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.8. Conditioning8.1 Bring the test specimens to moisture equilibrium in theatmosphere for testing geotextiles. Equilibrium is considered tohave been reac

22、hed when the increase in mass of the testspecimen in successive weighings, made at intervals of not lessthan 2 h, does not exceed 60.1 % of the mass of the testspecimen. In general practice, the industry approaches equilib-rium from the “as-received” side.NOTE 2It is recognized that in practice geot

23、extile materials frequentlyare not weighed to determine when moisture equilibrium has beenreached. While such a procedure cannot be accepted in cases of dispute,it may be sufficient in routine testing to expose the material to the standardatmosphere for testing for a reasonable period of time before

24、 thespecimens are tested. A time of at least 24 h has been found acceptable inmost cases. However, certain fibers may exhibit slow moisture equilibra-tion rates from the “as-received” wet side. When this is known, apreconditioning cycle, in accordance with Practice D 1776, may be agreedupon between

25、the contractural parties.9. Procedure9.1 Test the conditioned test specimens in the standardatmosphere for testing geotextiles.9.2 Weigh each of the conditioned specimens separately ona calibrated balance to the nearest 0.01 g.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the mass per unit area of each of thespecim

26、ens as follows:m 5 Ms 3 1 000 000/A (1)where:m = mass per unit area rounded to the nearest 0.1 g/m2,Ms = mass of the specimen, g, andA = area of the specimen, mm2.10.2 Repeat this procedure for each test specimen.10.3 Calculate the average and standard deviation of themass per unit area results for

27、the test specimens.11. Report11.1 Report the following information on mass per unit areaof geotextiles:11.1.1 Type of geotextile tested, sampling method used, thetest specimen size, shape, and the number of test specimenstested,11.1.2 The average mass per unit area and standard devia-tion to three s

Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method is beingestablished.12.2 BiasThis test method has no bias because the valueof mass per

29、unit area can only be defined in terms of a testmethod.13.
