Designation:D638917Standard Practice forTests to Evaluate the Chemical Resistance of Geotextiles toLiquids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6389;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice describes the procedures used for testinggeotextiles for chemical resistance to liquids.Reinforcementgeotextiles can also be tested per Practice D6213.1.2 This practice describes test methods for measuringchanges in planar dimensions,tensile properties,and otheroptional physical,mechanical,and hydraulic properties causedby immersion in test liquids which may be representative ofanticipated end-use conditions.This practice may be used toassess the extent to which a products as-manufactured prop-erties are affected by such immersion.1.3 This practice is intended to be used in conjunction witheither Practice D5322 or D5496.The scope of this practice islimited to testing and reporting procedures for unexposed andexposed geotextile samples.1.4 Evaluation or interpretation of test data is beyond thescope of this practice.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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specificwarning statements,see Section 7.1.6 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:2D16 Terminology for Paint,Related Coatings,Materials,andApplicationsD123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD1238 Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplasticsby Extrusion PlastometerD1695 Terminology of Cellulose and Cellulose DerivativesD3895 Test Method for Oxidative-Induction Time of Poly-olefins by Differential Scanning CalorimetryD4439 Terminology for GeosyntheticsD4491 Test Methods for Water Permeability of Geotextilesby PermittivityD4533 Test Method for Trapezoid Tearing Strength of Geo-textilesD4595 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Geotextiles bythe Wide-Width Strip MethodD4603 Test Method for Determining Inherent Viscosity ofPoly(Ethylene Terephthalate)(PET)by Glass CapillaryViscometerD4632 Test Method for Grab Breaking Load and Elongationof GeotextilesD4716 Test Method for Determining the(In-plane)FlowRate per Unit Width and Hydraulic Transmissivity of aGeosynthetic Using a Constant HeadD4751 Test Methods for Determining Apparent OpeningSize of a GeotextileD5199 Test Method for Measuring the Nominal Thicknessof GeosyntheticsD5261 Test Method for Measuring Mass per Unit Area ofGeotextilesD5322 Practice for Laboratory Immersion Procedures forEvaluating the Chemical Resistance of Geosynthetics toLiquidsD5496 Practice for In Field Immersion Testing of Geosyn-thetics1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 on Geosyn-thetics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.02 on EnduranceProperties.Current edition approved June 1,2017.Published June 2017.Orginally approvedin 1999.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as D6389 99(2016).DOI:10.1520/D6389-17.2For 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.1 D5885 Test Method for Oxidative Induction Time of Poly-olefin Geosynthetics by High-Pressure Differential Scan-ning CalorimetryD6213 Practice for Tests to Evaluate the Chemical Resis-tance of Geogrids to LiquidsD6241 Test Method for Static Puncture Strength of Geotex-tiles and Geotextile-Related Products Using a 50-mmProbeD7409 Test Method for Carboxyl End Group Content ofPolyethylene Terephthalate(PET)YarnsE375 Definitions of Terms Relating to Resinography(With-drawn 1992)33.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this practice,refer toTerminologies D16,D123,D883,D1695,D4439,and E375.4.Summary of Practice4.1 This practice defines test methods and proc
