Summary of Test Method4.1 This procedure provides a method for measuring thevolume of granular media or water, or both, that geocompositedrain layers can hold. The test involves filling the geocompos-ite drain layers

18、with sand and water to establish the respectivevolumes. Since water capture will be influenced by theinclination of the geocomposite drain layer, the tests areconducted at several inclinations.5.
