Designation:D7273/D7273M08(Reapproved 2020)Standard Guide forAcceptance Testing Requirements for Geonets and GeonetDrainage Geocomposites1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7273/D7273M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers guidelines for the acceptance testingfrequency requirements for geonet and geonet drainage geo-composite materials describing types of tests,test methods,andrecommended verifications.1.2 This guide is intended to aid purchasers,installers,contractors,owners,operators,designers,and agencies inestablishing a minimum level of effort for product acceptancetesting and verification.This is intended to ensure that thesupplied geonet and/or geonet drainage geocomposite roll(s)meet accepted material specifications.1.3 This guide offers an organized collection of informationor a series of options and does not recommend a specific courseof action.This guide cannot replace education or experienceand should be used in conjunction with professional judgment.Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circum-stances.This guide is not intended to represent or replace thestandard of care by which the adequacy of a given professionalservice must be judged,nor should this guide be appliedwithout consideration of a projects many unique aspects.Theword“Standard”in the title of this guide means only that theguide has been approved through the ASTM Internationalconsensus process.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system are not necessarily exact equivalents;therefore,toensure conformance with the standard,each system shall beused independently of the other,and values from the twosystems shall not be combined.1.5 This standard does not purport 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D792 Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity(Rela-tive Density)of Plastics by DisplacementD1505 Test Method for Density of Plastics by the Density-Gradient TechniqueD1603 Test Method for Carbon Black Content in OlefinPlasticsD4218 Test Method for Determination of Carbon BlackContent in Polyethylene Compounds by the Muffle-Furnace TechniqueD4354 Practice for Sampling of Geosynthetics and RolledErosion Control Products(RECPs)for TestingD4355/D4355M Test Method for Deterioration of Geotex-tiles by Exposure to Light,Moisture and Heat in a XenonArc-Type ApparatusD4439 Terminology for GeosyntheticsD4491/D4491M Test Methods for Water Permeability ofGeotextiles by PermittivityD4533/D4533M TestMethodforTrapezoidTearingStrength of GeotextilesD4632/D4632M Test Method for Grab Breaking Load andElongation of GeotextilesD4716/D4716M Test Method for Determining the(In-plane)Flow Rate per Unit Width and Hydraulic Transmissivityof a Geosynthetic Using a Constant HeadD4751 Test Methods for Determining Apparent OpeningSize of a GeotextileD4759 Practice for Determining the Specification Confor-mance of GeosyntheticsD4873/D4873M Guide for Identification,Storage,and Han-dling of Geosynthetic Rolls and Samples1This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D35 on Geosyntheticsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.01 on Mechanical Properties.Current edition approved June 1,2020.Published June 2020.Originallyapproved in 2008.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D7273/D7273M 08(2013)1.DOI:10.1520/D7273_D7273M-08R20.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.D5199 Test Method for Measuring the Nominal Thicknessof GeosyntheticsD5321/D5321M Test Method for Det
