Significance and Use4.1 This practice provi
8、des a means by which the purchasercan determine the conformance of geosynthetic properties asapplied to the acceptance or rejection of a material in regardsto a material specification.4.2 This practice has been developed with strong emphasison practicality and the realization that all geosynthetics
9、aresubjected to a vigorous quality control program prior toshipping.NOTE 1It is suggested that the user obtain the mean, standarddeviation, and/or the coefficient of variation for given physical/mechanicalproperties of a product directly from the manufacturer. If this data isunavailable, it is sugge
10、sted that users of this practice begin to accumulatedata that can be used to estimate product averages and standard deviationsfor each product.NOTE 2The risk to the purchaser of buying out of specificationmaterials is minimal when conformance requirements are detailed in thepurchase specification an
11、d adequate conformance testing is performed. Itis the producers responsibility to perform thorough quality control testingfor all properties requiring certification. The producers risk of rejection isminimal with the performance of this thorough quality control testing.5. Procedure5.1 Divide into lo
12、ts and select lot and laboratory samples asdirected in Practice D 4354.5.2 Test the number of specimens as directed in the appli-cable testing method.5.3 If the average test values for the individual lot samplingunit meet all the acceptable specification values, the lot passes.5.4 If the average tes
13、t value for any individual lot samplingunit does not meet one or more of the acceptable specificationvalues, the lot shall be resampled and tested, except as noted in5.4.3.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 on Geosyn-thetics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommitte

EXAMPLE OF DETERMINING CONFORMANCE TO SPECIFICATIONX1.1 AssumptionsThis example assumes the following:X1.1.1 A geotextile is to be tested against a specificationthat requires a minimum of trapezoid tear st
19、rength of 356 N (80lbf).X1.1.2 For this example, the lot consists of 300 rolls.Practice D 4354, Procedure C requires two lot sampling unitsper lot for lots of 201 to 500 rolls. The 300 rolls in the lot wereassigned numbers and the five rolls to be used as lot samplingunits were selected using a tabl
20、e of random numbers.X1.1.3 Test Method D 4533 specifies there will be onelaboratory sampling unit taken from each lot sampling unit andrequires the following number of test specimens per laboratorysampling unit in each direction:n 5 tv/A!2where:n = number of test specimens per laboratory sampling un

Lot sampling unit 2 failed in the machine direction.Since lot sampling unit 2 does not meet the specificationrequirement, the lot was resampled.X1.3 ResamplingThe supplier and the purchaser agreedto increase the number of r

The three rolls in the second sample were selected usinga table of random numbers excluding the roll from which lotsampling unit 2 was taken.X1.4 Data for Sample Set 2The data are given in TableX1.2. None of the lots sampling units failed. The lot wasaccepted.T
