OPTICAL METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF THICKNESS OF COATING OVER SCRIM (REINFORCING FABRIC)FOR REINFORCED GEOMEMBRANEA1.1 ScopeThis method measures the thickness of the coating over reinforcing fabric.A1.2 Measurement MethodA1.2.1
28、 PrincipleThe thickness of coating material over fiber, fabric, or scrim can be observed with a standard reflectancemicroscope. Measurement is made with a calibrated eyepiece.A1.2.2 Apparatus:A1.2.2.1 Microscope, 60 with reticle.A1.2.2.2 Light Source, Ifif light source on the microscope is not adequ
29、ate, use a small high- intensity high-intensity lamp.A1.2.2.3 Stage Micrometre, 0.0254 mm 0.0254-mm divisions.A1.2.3 Calibration Procedure:A1.2.3.1 Place a standard reflectance stage micrometre in place of the specimen.D7613 175A1.2.3.2 Turn on the microscope light source.A1.2.3.3 Position the retic
30、le eyepiece and the micrometre such that the scales are superimposed. Focus the reticle by turning theeyepiece. Focus the specimen and reticle by turning the vertical adjustment knob.A1.2.3.4 Locate a point at which both scales line up. Count the number of micrometre divisions away. Measure to the n
31、earest0.0125 mm. The calibration may be optimized by increasing the number of divisions measured.A1.2.3.5 Repeat the calibration three times and average the results. A calibration example is given in A1.2.3.6.A1.2.3.6 If four reticle divisions (RD) are found equal to 4.5 mmicrometre divisions (MD),
32、then:1RD! 54.5/4MD! or 1RD! 51.125MD! (A1.1)A1.2.3.7 Since 1one micrometre division is also equal to 25.4 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 or equivalent over the fiber intersections along the x-xxx axis
33、.A1.2.4.2 Make a clean bias cut completely through the sheet.A1.2.4.3 Remove the razor-cut section and mount in common 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 the threadintersection by
34、 counting the number of reticle divisions (to the nearest one-half division).A1.2.4.5 Sample three areas of the coatings and average the results.A1.3 Calculation and ReportA1.3.1 Multiply the number or reticle divisions representing the thickness of the coating by the calibration factor. Report thea
35、verage results from the three areas of the coating to the nearest 12.7 m.A1.4 Precision and BiasA1.4.1 PrecisionMeasurements are accurate to 612.7 m when the thickness is about 0.05 mm.A1.4.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material suitable for determining the bias for measuring coating th
