23、g the resistance of geomembranes to liquid exposureby monitoring physical and chemical properties of geomem-brane coupons immersed in a test liquid. The physical condi-tion of the geomembrane is monitored as a function ofcumulative exposure time by means of dimensional measure-ments, and physical an
24、d chemical property tests.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended to provide a list of standardprocedures for test programs investigating the chemical resis-tance of a geomembrane with a liquid waste, leachate, orchemical. This practice should be used in the absence of otherspecificatio
25、ns required for the particular situation being ad-dressed.5.2 Chemical resistance, as used in this practice, is not aquantifiable term. This practice is intended to provide a basis ofstandardization for those wishing to compare or investigate thechemical resistance of a geomembrane. It should be rec
26、ognizedthat chemical resistance is a user judgement evaluation and thatthis practice does not offer procedures for interpreting theresults obtained from test procedures contained in this practice.As a practice, this does not produce a test result.NOTE 2This practice is for the chemical resistance as
27、sessment ofgeomembranes and is written in parallel to similar standard practices forgeotextiles, geonets, geogrids, geopipes, and geosynthetic clay liners.Each standard is to be considered individually for the geosynthetic underinvestigation and collectively for all geosynthetics exposed to the pote

Refer to the appropriate standardsfor a description of the apparatus necessary to
31、 perform thosetests.7. HazardsNOTE 3Warning: The solutions used in this practice may containhazardous chemicals. Appropriate precautions must be taken when han-dling hazardous waste, chemicals, and the immersion solutions. Protectiveequipment suitable for the chemicals being used must be worn by all
32、personnel handling or exposed to the chemicals. Particular care should betaken when opening storage vessels at elevated temperatures due to theincreased volatility of organics and the increased activity of acids andbases. Care must also be taken to prevent the spilling of hazardousmaterials and prov
33、isions must be made to clean up any accidental spillswhich do occur.8. Sampling8.1 Determine the number and dimensions of the testspecimens according to the requirements of the dimensionalmeasurements and physical/chemical property tests to beperformed, the duration of the immersion, and the number
34、oftest intervals.8.2 Sample in accordance with the respective test methodsselected.8.3 Cut the geomembrane coupons so that they are repre-sentative of the geomembrane being evaluated. Discard cou-pons that contain scratches or other imperfections that mightaffect the test results.NOTE 4Since rate of
35、 leachate absorption is a function of thicknessand can have an impact on the test results, the geomembrane couponsshould be as close in thickness as possible.8.4 Mix the selected coupons in a random fashion and thenre-select coupons for the immersion and baseline testing.8.5 Cut individual test spec
36、imens for thickness, weight, andvolatile loss measurements. Specimens may be of any size forwhich accurate and repeatable measurements can be made. Cutspecimens from sheet stock using a die to ensure consistency ofdimensions.NOTE 5Circular specimens 7.98 cm2(3.14 in.2) have been found to besatisfact
37、ory for thickness, weight, and volatile loss measurements. Thesame individual specimen may be used for thickness, weight, and volatileloss measurements if desired.9. Conditioning9.1 ConditioningCondition samples at 21 6 2C (70 64F) and a relative humidity between 50 and 70 % for not lessthan 40 h pr
38、ior to weighing or baseline testing and immersion,or combination thereof.10. Procedure10.1 Immerse the geomembrane in the test solution asspecified in Practice D 5322 or Practice D 5496, or both.10.2 Immerse a sufficient number of coupons to perform therequired testing for each of the immersion peri
39、ods.10.3 Immerse additional pieces of geomembrane for weightchanges, thickness changes, and volatile loss for each immer-sion period. Record the weight of the specimens to an accuracyof at least 0.1 % of the specimens weight. Record thethickness of the specimens to an accuracy of 0.0025 mm(0.0001 in
40、.).10.4 Remove a sufficient number of coupons at the pre-scribed test period for the required testing. Rinse each couponwith deionized water and blot dry with water-absorbent,lint-free paper towels to remove any visible liquid or solidresidue on the coupon surface. Allow elevated temperaturecoupons
41、to cool to room temperature in a sample of immersionfluid. Store coupons in an airtight container or bag with as littleair as possible when not being used or tested in order tominimize moisture or volatile loss, or both. Keep cut speci-mens in an airtight container between tests.10.5 The tests to be
42、 performed on the geomembrane arelisted in Sections 11 through 20 for each of the four types ofgeomembranes addressed by this practice. The tests consist ofrequired testing to be done on the geomembrane and recom-mended testing to be performed at the discretion of the user.Conduct recommended tests
43、whenever possible as this datawill aid in the interpretation of the final test results.All the testsshould be completed on the unexposed geomembrane as wellas on the exposed material after each test period. Test twice asmany specimens as listed below on the unexposed material inorder to increase pre
44、cision of baseline data.10.6 Testing (except the extractables test) of the materialexposed to the leachate must be done within 24 h of removalfrom the test solution.11. Required Testing, All Geomembranes11.1 Weight ChangeAfter each period, remove three pre-weighed pieces of geomembrane from the liqu
45、id, quickly blotdry with water-absorbent, lint-free paper towels any visibleliquid or solid residue on the specimen surface, and weigh tothe nearest 0.001 g. Calculate the percent weight change to thenearest 0.1 %.NOTE 6Extra care should be taken to completely dry texturedsurfaces to avoid an appare
46、nt increase in weight caused by residual surfacemoisture.11.2 Dimension ChangesMeasure thickness as directed inTest Methods D 751, D 638, or D 5199 to the nearest 0.0025mm (0.0001 in.) at three locations near the center of the piecesof geomembrane used for weight changes before and afterimmersion. M
47、easure length and width (machine and transversedirections) at two locations on the sheets of geomembrane usedfor the physical testing before and after immersion. Calculatepercent changes to the nearest 0.1 %.11.3 Volatile LossDry the pieces of geomembrane fromthe weight changes at 105 6 2C for 24 h
48、and then weigh to thenearest 0.001 g. Calculate the percent volatiles to the nearest0.1 %.11.4 Visual ObservationsDescribe the samples before andafter immersion. Visual appearance can help in the interpreta-tion of the data and may explain anomalous test results.Appearance items to be considered may
49、 include change fromoriginal color, including any mottling; change in surface gloss;D5747083change in surface roughness; curling, swelling, or other changeat the edges of the specimen; scratch, scoring, fracture initia-tion, or splitting of specimen into separate parts; and grossspecimen changes such as wrinkling, ovalization, or noticeablecurling.12.
