ASTM D6768-04
Historical Standard: ASTM D6768-04 Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength of Geosynthetic Clay Liners
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6768
1. Scope
1.1 The test method establishes the procedures for the measurement of tensile strength of Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL). This test method is strictly an index test method to be used to verify the tensile strength of GCLs. Results from this test method should not be considered as an indication of actual or long-term performance of the geosynthetic(s) in field applications.
1.2 The values in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Values in pound units are in parentheses for information.
1.3 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
