OPTICAL METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF THICKNESS OF COATING OVER SCRIM (REINFORCING FABRIC)FOR REINFORCED GEOMEMBRANEA1.1 ScopeThis method measures the thickness of thecoating over reinforcing fabric.A1.2 Measurement
28、 MethodA1.2.1 PrincipleThe thickness of coating material overfiber, fabric, or scrim can be observed with a standardreflectance microscope. Measurement is made with a calibratedeyepiece.A1.2.2 Apparatus:A1.2.2.1 Microscope,603 with reticle.A1.2.2.2 Light Source, If light source on the microscope isn
29、ot adequate, use a small high- intensity lamp.A1.2.2.3 Stage Micrometre, 0.0254 mm divisions.A1.2.3 Calibration Procedure:A1.2.3.1 Place a standard reflectance stage micrometre inplace of the specimen.A1.2.3.2 Turn on the microscope light source.A1.2.3.3 Position the reticle eyepiece and the microme
30、tresuch that the scales are superimposed. Focus the reticle byturning the eyepiece. Focus the specimen and reticle by turningthe vertical adjustment knob.A1.2.3.4 Locate a point at which both scales line up. Countthe number of micrometre divisions away. Measure to thenearest 0.0125 mm. The calibrati
31、on may be optimized byincreasing the number of divisions measured.A1.2.3.5 Repeat the calibration three times and average theresults. A calibration example is given in A1.2.3.6.A1.2.3.6 If four reticle divisions (RD) are found equal to 4.5m divisions (MD), then:1RD! 5 4.5/4 MD! or 1 RD! 5 1.125MD! (
32、A1.1)A1.2.3.7 Since 1 micrometre division is also equal to25.4 m, therefore, 1(RD) = 28.6 m or the calibration factorA1.2.4 Specimen Analysis:A1.2.4.1 Carefully center a sharp single-edge razor orequivalent over the fiber intersections along the x-x axis.A1.2.4.2 Make a clean bias cut completely thr
33、ough thesheet.A1.2.4.3 Remove the razor-cut section and mount in com-mon putty with the cut surface facing upward.A1.2.4.4 Observe the cut surface with the eyepiece reticle.Measure the thickness of the coating on either side of thethread intersection by counting the number of reticle divisions(to th
34、e nearest one-half division).A1.2.4.5 Sample three areas of the coatings and average theresults.A1.3 Calculation and ReportA1.3.1 Multiply the number or reticle divisions representingthe thickness of the coating by the calibration factor. Report theaverage results from the three areas of the coating
35、 to the nearest12.7 m.A1.4 Precision and BiasA1.4.1 PrecisionMeasurements are accurate to 612.7 mwhen the thickness is about 0.05 mm.A1.4.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for measuring coating thick-ness, no statement on bias is being made.ASTM Int
