Summary of Guide4.1 This guide suggests the types o
24、f tests, the methods of thetesting, and verification requirements for acceptance testing ofgeonet and geonet geocomposite materials.4.2 It should be recognized that parties, organizations, orrepresentatives may perform additional tests at other frequen-cies than required in this guide. In this case,
25、 the project-specificacceptance plan will then take precedence over this guide.5. Procedure5.1 The geocomposite components are typically tested dur-ing MQC (Practice D4354) and typically documented bymeans of a letter of certification or summarized MQC test dataor both. These actual tested values (M
26、QC test data) should beverified to be in conformance with the accepted materialspecifications. This can be done by reviewing the MQC testdata, or by additional quality assurance testing, or both, andpurchasers specification conformance testing. Purchasersspecification acceptance/conformance testing
27、should be donedirectly after arrival of the product on site, and definitelybefore product installation. Properties of the individual geo-composite components (geonet and geotextile) are likely tochange during the lamination process. If the properties of thefinished geocomposites component to be cont
28、rolled are thosemeasured before lamination, it might be necessary to samplethe individual components in the plant, before lamination. Ifthe tests are conducted on the components delaminated fromthe geocomposite, those test results will not reflect what isintended to be controlled.5.2 Supplied geonet
29、/geonet geocomposite rolls should beobserved on site to identify any damage to the rolls orwrapping. In case of any damage, Guide D4873 should befollowed. Any damage should be noted and reported.5.3 Before storing or unrolling geonet/geonet geocompositerolls, or both, the individual roll identificat
30、ion should beverified and compared with the packing list. Irregularitiesshould be noted and reported.5.4 If sampling of geonet/geonet geocomposite material isnecessary, for example, for testing purposes, Guide D4354should be followed.5.5 The recommended acceptance tests and test methods forgeonets a
31、re given in Table 1 and for geonet geocompositematerials are given in Table 2. The tests are performed on thegeonets and geotextiles before lamination except for geocom-posite transmissivity and geocomposite ply adhesion andshould be compared with the accepted material specifications.Irregularities
32、should be noted and reported.5.6 All test results should be reported as average roll values(not the value for a single specimen tested) in accordance to theASTM procedures listed in Table 1 and Table 2, and ultimatelycompared to the specified values (manufacturing and or projectspecification) to be
33、acceptable. The pass or fail of the confor-mance test results shall be determined according to PracticeD4759. Geonet and or geonet geocomposite rolls failing theaccepted material specifications need to be rejected. TheD7273/D7273M 08 (2013)12sequence of non-conforming rolls in the lot shall be bound
34、ed/delineated by passing rolls (“blocking tests”).6. Report6.1 All activities on product acceptance should be recordedon a suitable data sheet. Recorded activities may take the formof notes, charts, sketches, photographs, or a combination ofthese. Report the following information:6.1.1 Manufacturers

41、quired depending on the application. For example, in applications in which shear strength is critical, direct shear tests (Test MethodD5321) may be needed.CThis column proposes a pass/fail criterion for the measured average roll value. All measured average roll values (not the value for a single spe
42、cimen tested) should bereported in accordance of the ASTM procedure listed above, measured at a frequency greater than or equal as what is listed above, and ultimately compared to thespecified value (manufacturing and or project specification) to be acceptable or conforming. If the measured average
43、roll value is below the specified value, that particularroll will be catalogued as “failed”, or non-conforming. Note that most individual ASTM standards describe within the standard procedure as of how to address “failed” ornon-conforming measured values. Typically checking all setup and boundary co
44、nditions would be done first in a retest of the initially “failed” sample. If the average of bothtests confirm that the geonet is non-conforming, then the geonet rolls failing the accepted material specification value need to be rejected. The sequence of non-conformingrolls in the lot shall be bound
45、ed/delineated by passing rolls (“blocking tests”). The pass/fail criterion is thus a threshold methodology, a measured average roll value greateror equal as the “specified value” means a passing or conforming result for that particular test method.DThe correct test method should be agreed on prior t
