1、Designation: D 5721 95 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Practice forAir-Oven Aging of Polyolefin Geomembranes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5721; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last rev

2、ision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a means for estimating the resis-tance of polyolefin geomembranes to thermal aging in thepresence of air

3、. Only the procedure for heat exposure isspecified, not the test method or specimen. The effect of heaton any particular property may be determined by selection ofthe appropriate test method and specimen.1.2 This practice should be used as a guide to comparethermal aging characteristics of materials

4、 as measured by thechange in some property of interest. This practice does notpredict thermal aging characteristics where interactions be-tween stress, environment, temperature, and time controlfailure.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.4 This standard does not pur

5、port to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
