9、measured.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The core thickness of a textured geomembrane iscalculated as the average value of measurements taken onreplicate specimens of the sample under investigation. Thethickness of each specimen is measured at a specific location asthe distance between two gauge points

10、. The opposing thicknessgauge points are manufactured to a defined geometry, with aspecified force of 0.56 6 0.05 N (2.0 6 0.2 oz) applied alongtheir axis.5. Significance and Use5.1 Thickness is one of the basic index properties used tocontrol and track the quality of many geomembranes. Addi-tionall

11、y, many mechanical properties (for example, tensileyield strength, puncture strength, etc.) can be related to corethickness. Core thickness values may also be required incalculation of some parameters such as diffusion coefficients ortensile stresses.5.2 The measured core thickness of geomembranes m

12、ayvary considerably depending on the pressure applied to thespecimen during measurement. To reduce variation in measure-ments and the chance of unrealistically low values due toexcessively high pressures, a specific gauge point geometryand applied force are prescribed in this test method.5.3 The tes

13、t method is applicable to all commonly availabletextured geomembranes that are deployed as manufacturedgeomembrane sheets.6.

The gauge shall have a base point (or anvil) and afree-moving presser point whose axes are aligned to each other.NOTE 1The geomembrane specim

17、en being measured should be main-tained perpendicular to the axes of the opposing gauge points. Anunderlying support system may be necessary to support large testspecimens.6.2 Thickness Gauge PointsThe gauge points shall bemade of hardened steel.

Frequent use and rough use of the gauge can dull thegauge points and cause misalignment, both of which w

19、ill cause incorrectreadings. These problems can be detected by frequent calibration.7. Sampling7.1 SampleFor the sample, take a full width sample ofsufficient length so that the requirements of 7.2 through 7.4.2can be met. Exclude the inner and outer wraps of the roll or anymaterial not representati

20、ve of the sample (see Note 1).7.2 Remove test specimens from the sample in a randomlydistributed pattern across the width. The thickness readingsmust include measurements within 15 cm (6 in.) of both edgesof the geomembrane roll.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each unit in the sample, removethe specimens so

21、that the edge of the specimen will extendbeyond the edge of the gauge points by 10 mm (0.4 in.) in alldirections. It is recommended to use circular test specimens ofapproximately 75 mm (3 in.) diameter.7.4 Number of SpecimensUnless otherwise agreed upon,as when provided in an applicable material spe

Instead, specify the fixed number ten of specimens.The number of specime

When a reliable estimate of v for the userslaboratory becomes available, Eq 1 will usually require fewerthan the fixed number of specimens.FIG. 1 Dead Weight Thickness Measurement De

Precision, Bias, and Uncertainty312.1 The precision and bias of this test method and theuncertainty of the test results are based on an interlaboratorystudy of conducted in 2007. Eight laboratories performed theprocedure as recorded in Test Method D5994,

35、testing fivedifferent materials. Every test result represents an individualdetermination. Three separate laboratory-day determinationswere taken in triplicate for each material tested. Each labora-tory utilized one technician and one apparatus. One laboratoryrecorded a single measurement in triplica
