Summary of Test Method4.1 The mass per unit area of an ECB is determined byweighing test specimens of known dimensions cut fromva

18、rious locations over the full width of the laboratory sample.The measured weight is then used to calculate the mass per unitarea of the specimen, and these values are averaged to obtainthe mean mass per unit area of the laboratory sample.4.2 This test method requires several hours for properdrying o

19、f the specimen in an oven at high temperature.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine if the ECB meetsspecifications for mass per unit area. This measurement allowsfor a simple control of the delivered material by a comparisonof the mass per unit area of the delivered materi

20、al and thespecified mass per unit area.5.2 The procedure in this test method may be used foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, but caution isadvised since information about between-laboratory precisionis incomplete.5.3 Testing under this standard shall conform to the require-ments of Practi

Sampling7.1 Lot SampleDivide the test specimens into lots and, forthe lot to be tested, take the lot samples in accordance withPractice D4354.7.2 Laboratory SampleConsider the units in the lotsam

24、ple as the units in the laboratory sample. For the laboratorysample, take a full-width swatch of sufficient length along theselvage so that the requirements of 7.2.3 can be met.7.2.1 The laboratory sample should be free from imperfec-tions and characteristics not representative of the materialsample

25、d.7.2.2 As most ECBs are constructed from several compo-nent materials, sampling of the bulk product shall be performedso as to maintain the structural integrity of the product. This istrue not only for generating a test sample, but also for thegeneration of individual test specimens from the sample

26、 fortesting. Careless handling of materials may result in loss ofcomponent fibers, yarns, netting, or stitching, or a combinationthereof, and a bias of test results. Note any loss of materialcomponents observed during sample and test specimen prepa-ration.7.2.3 The number of test specimens shall be

27、a minimum offive, cut in square or rectangular configuration using sharpshears, so that they are representative of the entire roll widthand with a combined total minimum area of 5000 cm2. Eachtest specimen shall be equal in area (not less than 1000 cm2inaccordance with Test Method D5261). Cut each t

28、est specimenusing a jig or template to ensure uniformity of size, with anaccuracy of 60.5 % of its area.7.2.4 Cut specimens from across each third of the roll width.Do not cut specimens from the first or last 3 m of the rolllength, or from within 10 cm of the edges of the roll.7.2.5 For test specime

29、ns prepared in the field, larger thanminimum-sized test specimens will be required to stay withinthe cutting accuracy of 0.5 %. It is recommended that field cutspecimens be cut with an area not less than 1500 cm2, so thatthe integrity of the specimen will be preserved until finalspecimen sizes can b

30、e prepared in the testing laboratory.7.2.6 Some products vary in physical properties in thetransverse or machine direction. For that reason, it is appro-priate to secure samples from across the roll width.7.2.7 Procedures found to be successful for cutting testspecimens from rolled erosion control p

31、roducts include the useof bags and slip supports to keep all components of degradablespecimens together during the sample preparation. The methodof specimen cutting should be included with the reported data.7.2.8 If the structure of the erosion control blanket is suchthat the specified test specimen

32、 size is not representative of thelaboratory sample, a larger size shall be agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.7.2.9 All samples shall be marked with identificationinformation, including manufacturers name, style, or productnumber, unique roll number, and date sampled.7.2.10 Most conf

33、ormance testing requires the laboratory tosample the material randomly across the roll width. When thisis required, a section of material representing the entire rollshall be provided.Alternately, cut panels can be used as long asthey represent random locations across the width of the roll.Mark each

34、 panel for identification.7.2.11 If samples are to be shipped or transported to thelaboratory, they should be wrapped in a durable protectivecovering so as to prevent damage or loss or both of componentmaterials. Provide a packing list or chain of custody to indicatewhere the sample came from and in

35、structions for testing orother handling.8. Procedure8.1 Determine and record the mass of the clean and dryspecimen tray on a calibrated balance to the nearest 0.1 g.Record this value as Mc.D6475 1728.2 Select representative test specimens in accordance withSection 7.8.3 Place the specimen on the spe

36、cimen tray.8.4 To prevent mixing of specimens and yielding of incor-rect results, number all trays and record the tray numbers onthe laboratory data sheets.8.5 Place the tray with the test specimen in the drying oven.Dry the specimen to a constant mass. Maintain the drying ovenat 50 6 5C unless othe

37、rwise specified. The time required toobtain constant mass will vary depending on the type ofmaterial, size of specimen, moisture content in the as-deliveredcondition, and other factors. The influence of these factorsgenerally can be established by good judgment, experiencewith the materials being te

38、sted, and the apparatus being used.8.6 Since the type of materials being tested is lightweightand organic in nature, drying time required to achieve constantmass should be relatively short. Dry for a minimum of8horuntil the change in mass after two successive periods (greaterthan 1 h) of drying is l

39、ess than 0.1 %.8.7 After the specimen has dried to constant mass asprescribed in 8.6, remove the tray from the oven usingappropriate safety gloves or tongs. In order that the weight ofthe dried specimen not be affected as a result of moistureabsorption, place the tray on the balance and weigh thespe

40、cimen within 5 min after removal from the oven.8.8 Determine the mass of the tray with the dried specimento the nearest 0.1 g using the same calibrated balance as in 8.1.Record this value as Mt.8.9 Repeat this procedure for each test specimen.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the mass of the specimen Ms,

41、in grams, asfollows:Ms 5 Mt 2 Mc (1)where:Mt = mass of the dried specimen, g, andMc = mass of the specimen tray, g.9.2 Calculate the mass per unit area of each of the speci-mens as follows:m 5 Ms 310000/A (2)where:m = mass per unit area, rounded to the nearest 0.1 g/m2, andA = area of the specimen,

Precision and Bi

44、as11.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study (ILS) of this test method conducted in2013. Eight laboratories participated in this study. Each of thelaboratories reported three replicate test results for a single typeof double net blanket. One laboratory also reported f

45、ourreplicates for an additional five products to determine repeat-ability better. Every “test result” reported represents an indi-vidual determination. Except for the ultimate use of data fromonly seven laboratories, Practice E691 was followed for thedesign and analysis of the data; the details are
