Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens of a geotextile are conditioned at selectedtemperatures in an environmental chamber attached to a tensiletesting machine. While mainta

9、ining these temperatures, 2 in.cut or ravel strip tensile tests are performed as directed in TestMethod D 5035. The same tests are conducted as control underthe standard laboratory test conditions. Tensile strength andpercent elongation properties obtained at various test tempera-tures are recorded.

10、 Changes in strength characteristics due tothe effects of temperature are determined.4.2 The temperatures used for conditioning and testing thegeotextiles are the temperatures at which the geotextile willperform or are typically exposed to in the field.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is

11、used for evaluating the relativeeffects of temperature on geotextiles manufactured from dif-ferent polymers, by a different manufacturing process, or both.5.2 During shipping and storage, the geotextile may beexposed to abnormal temperatures. The fabric could be testedat these temperatures to determ

12、ine the detrimental effects ofthese conditions on the strength properties.5.3 This test method may also be used to evaluate the cycliceffects of temperature (freeze-thaw), that is, samples can beconditioned to below normal temperatures (below freezing)and then to above normal temperatures (elevated

13、temperatures)for a given number of cycles. Strength characteristics can bedetermined after these cyclic exposures.5.4 Most nonwoven, woven, and composite fabric can betested by this method. Modification of the techniques is likelyto be necessary for any fabric having a strength in excess of179 kg/cm

14、 (1000 lb/in.) width. This test method is notrecommended for knitted fabrics.5.5 This test method is an index test method and is notrecommended for acceptance testing of commercial shipments,since information on between laboratory precision has not been1This test method is under the jurisdiction of

In some cases the purchaser and seller may have totest a commercial shipment of one or more geotextiles by thebest available method, even though the method has not beenrecommended for acceptance testing of commercial shipments.A comparative test performed as directed in

18、 5.5.1 may beadvisable.5.5.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using Test Method D 4594 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their labo

19、ratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens that are as homogenous as possible and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned i

20、n equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before the testing is begun. If a bias is found, eitherits cause must be found and correc

21、ted or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in the light ofthe known bias.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing Machine, of the constant rate-of-extension (CRE) or constant rate-of-traverse type with auto-matic recorder conforming to the requirement of SpecificationD76

22、.6.2 Environmental Chamber, capable of maintaining a tem-perature range from 40 to + 100C (40 to + 212F) andequipped with temperature regulation capable of maintainingthe test temperature within 62C (64F) inside the chamber.6.3 Various Tubing and Fittings, to hook up the gas to theenvironmental cham

23、ber.6.4 Thermometer, capable of measuring the temperaturerange within which tests are being performed and graduated ina 1C (2F) division scale.7. Materials7.1 Liquid Nitrogen, commercial grade or any other drymedium capable of producing temperature below 0C (32F).7.1.1 WarningSince liquid nitrogen i

24、s a cryogenic liquidwhich produces extremely low temperatures when vented tothe atmosphere, keep hands clear of open valves and tubings,etc. During testing, use insulated leather gloves to handlesamples and to open and close the environmental chamberdoor. The laboratory should be well ventilated.7.1

25、.2 Other gases which can be used are helium 167C(269F), oxygen 119C (183F), argon 121C (186F),and carbon dioxide 62C (79F). Temperatures values listedare the minimum temperatures these gases can attain.7.1.3 The use of liquid nitrogen is suggested for the test.Nitrogen is less hazardous, more econom

26、ical than other gases,and also capable of attaining a minimum temperatureof 127C (196F). Oxygen, being a strong oxidizer, shouldbe avoided if possible; otherwise, use cautiously in a wellventilated area away from open flame.8. Sampling8.1 Division into Lots and Lot SampleUnless otherwiseagreed upon

27、as in an applicable material specification, dividethe material into lots and take a lot sample as directed inPractice D 4354. Consider rolls of fabric to be the primarysampling units.8.2 Laboratory SampleTake for the laboratory sample, aswatch extending the width of the fabric and approximately 1m (

28、1 yd) along the selvage from each roll in the lot sample. Theswatch may be taken from the end portion of a roll providedthere is no evidence that it is distorted or different from otherportions of the roll. In cases of dispute, take a swatch that willexclude fabric from the outer wrap of the roll or

29、 the inner wraparound the core.8.3 Test SpecimensFor the standard conditions and foreach test temperature to which the geotextile is to be exposed,cut five specimens at least 50.8 mm (2 in.) wide by 152.4 mm(6 in.) long from each swatch in the laboratory sample with thelong dimension of the specimen

30、s parallel to the lengthwisedirection. Cut five specimens of the same size from eachswatch in the laboratory sample with the long dimension of thespecimen parallel to the width-wise direction. Prepare thespecimens as directed in Test Method D 5035 for ravelled striptest, cut strip test, or both.9. T
