Designation:D7273/D7273M08(Reapproved 2013)1Standard Guide forfor Acceptance Testing Requirements for Geonets andGeonet Drainage 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.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in June 2013.1.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 assure 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 may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.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.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 Test Method for Deterioration of Geotextiles byExposure to Light,Moisture and Heat in a Xenon ArcType ApparatusD4439 Terminology for GeosyntheticsD4491 Test Methods for Water Permeability of Geotextilesby PermittivityD4533 Test Method for Trapezoid Tearing Strength of Geo-textilesD4632 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 Method for DeterminingApparent Opening Sizeof a GeotextileD4759 Practice for Determining the Specification Confor-mance of GeosyntheticsD4873 Guide for Identification,Storage,and Handling ofGeosynthetic Rolls and SamplesD5199 Test Method for Measuring the Nominal Thicknessof GeosyntheticsD5321 Test Method for Determining the Shear Strength of1This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D35 on Geosyntheticsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.01 on Mechanical Properties.Current edition approved May 1,2013.Published June 2013.Originallyapproved in 2008.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D727308.DOI:10.1520/D7273_D7273M-08R13E01.2For 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 States1 Soil-Geosynthetic and Geosynthetic-Geosynthetic Inter-faces by Direct ShearD6241 Test Method for the Static Puncture Strength ofGeotextiles and Geotextile-Related Products Using a50-mm ProbeD7005 Test Method for Determining the Bond Strength(PlyAdhesion)of GeocompositesD7179 Test Method for Determining Geonet Breaking Force3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms related togeosynthetics,refer to Terminology D4439.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 acceptance testing,ntesting performed on a productto determine whether or not an individual lot of the productconforms to specified requirement
