Summary of Test Method4.1 Geonet specimens are mounted between full width gripsin a load frame. Tensile load is applied longitudinally to thespecimen at a constant rat
8、e of crosshead movement. The test iscarried to rupture and a maximum breaking force of eachspecimen is recorded.5. Significance and Use5.1 This method evaluates tensile breaking force of geonetsfor the purposes of quality control and quality assurance.Testing is performed parallel to the machine dir
9、ection only forthat is the primary direction that geonets witnesses tensileloading. This method is an index test and is not intended fordesign purposes.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing MachineConstant Rate of Extension(CRE) equipment meeting the requirements of SpecificationD76. The load cell shall b
10、e accurate to within 61 % of theapplied force. The drive mechanism shall be able to control therate of extension to within 61 % of the targeted rate.6.2 GripsOne of the grips must be self aligning tocompensate for uneven distribution of force across the speci-men. The clamping force and the clamp su
11、rfaces shall hold thespecimen firmly without causing damage. The clamps shall becapable of gripping a 100 mm (4 in.) by 25 mm (1 in.) area ata minimum.6.3 Recording MechanismThe testing machine shall beequipped with equipment capable of producing a hard copy ofthe force versus displacement curve.

United States17.2 Laboratory SampleFor laboratory sample, take a full-width swatch approximately1m(3ft)long by roll width foreach roll in the lot sample. Take a sample that will excludematerial from
16、 the outer wrap of the roll or the inner wraparound the core. In the case where the sample is taken at theproduction site, material from the outer wrap may be used if itis undamaged.7.3 Test Specimens Prepare five specimens with the lengthof the specimen parallel to the machine direction (MD). Cut t
17、hespecimens such that none are obtained within 150 mm (6 in.)of the roll edges.7.4 Specimen Size and ShapeThe specimens shall be 1026 2mm(46 0.08 in.) wide by 203 6 4mm(86 0.16 in.)long (test direction). Die cut test specimens are recommended.7.5 Test UnitTest five specimens distributed evenly froma
18、cross the width of each laboratory sample in the longitudinal(machine) direction only.

19、ns can be tested at the clientsrequest but they are not a requirement.8. Conditioning8.1 Conditioning Specimens may be tested once theyhave equilibrated at standard laboratory temperature. The timerequired to reach temperature equilibrium may vary accordingto the manufacturing process, material type
20、 and materialthickness. Equilibrium in this case is defined as less than adegree Celsius change in temperature in an hour and less thana gram change in mass within an hour.8.2 Test Conditions Conduct tests at the standard atmo-sphere for testing geosynthetics, a temperature of 21 6 2C (706 4F) and a
21、 relative humidity between 50 to 70 %, unlessotherwise specified.9. Procedure9.1 Set the distance between the gripping portions of theclamps 100 mm (4 in.) apart.9.2 Clamp a specimen so that it is centered in both sets ofclamps and aligned vertically about the centroid of the tensiletesting machine.
22、 This is a critical point since the breaking forceis significantly altered if the specimen is not aligned.9.3 Elongate the specimen at a test speed of 300 mm/min(12 in./min) until the specimen has ruptured. If the specimenslips in the clamps, breaks in the clamps, breaks at the edges ofthe clamps, o
23、r if for any reason attributable to faulty operation,the result falls markedly below the average (outliers are definedas greater than 20 % from the mean) for the set of specimens,discard the result and test an additional specimen.9.4 Record peak load. The peak load is the geonet breakingforce.9.5 Re
24、peat the procedure for the remaining specimens.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the average and standard deviation for break-ing force of the five specimens tested.11. Report11.1 Report the following information:11.1.1 Complete identification of the material tested,11.1.2 The direction of testing (that
25、 is, MD),11.1.3 The breaking force of each specimen tested in unitsof kN (lb),11.1.4 Any deviation of the specified test procedure, and11.1.5 The average and standard deviation for breakingforce in units of kN (lb).12. Precision and Bias312.1 The precision of this test method is based on anInterlabo
26、ratory study of D7179-05, Standard Test Method forDetermining Geonet Breaking Force, conducted in 2006. Ninelaboratories tested one material. Each “test result” was theaverage of five individual determinations. Each laboratoryobtained three replicate test results for the material.12.1.1 Repeatabilit
27、y Two test results obtained within onelaboratory shall be judged not equivalent if they differ by morethan the “r” value for that material; “r” is the intervalrepresenting the critical difference between two test results forthe same material, obtained by the same operator using thesame equipment on
28、the same day in the same laboratory. SeeTable 112.1.2 Reproducibility Two test results should be judgednot equivalent if they differ by more than the “R” value for thatmaterial; “R” is the interval representing the difference be-tween two test results for the same material, obtained bydifferent oper
29、ators using different equipment in different labo-ratories.12.1.3 Any judgment in accordance with these two state-ments would have an approximate 95% probability of beingcorrect.12.2 BiasAt the time of the study, there was no acceptedreference material suitable for determining the bias for this test
30、method, therefore no statement on bias is being made.12.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistical examination of 27 results, from nine laboratories, on 1material.12.4 This precision statement is provisional because aninsufficient number of materials were involved.13.
