Designation:D5747/D5747M08(Reapproved 2013)1Standard Practice forTests to Evaluate the Chemical Resistance ofGeomembranes to Liquids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5747/D5747M;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 practice covers procedures for the testing ofgeomembranes for chemical resistance with liquid wastes,prepared chemical solutions,and leachates derived from solidwastes.1.2 This practice covers procedures for testing semi-crystalline,amorphous,elastomeric,and fabric-reinforcedgeomembranes.1.3 This practice is intended to be used in conjunction withPractice D5322 or Practice D5496,or both.The scope of thispractice is limited to testing and reporting procedures forunexposed and exposed geomembrane samples.1.4 Evaluation and interpretation of test data are beyond thescope of this practice.1.5 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.1.6 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.Specific precau-tionary statements are given in Section 7.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C717 Terminology of Building Seals and SealantsD412 Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplas-tic ElastomersTensionD413 Test Methods for Rubber PropertyAdhesion to Flex-ible SubstrateD624 Test Method for Tear Strength of Conventional Vul-canized Rubber and Thermoplastic ElastomersD638 Test Method for Tensile Properties of PlasticsD751 Test Methods for Coated FabricsD882 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Thin PlasticSheetingD883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD907 Terminology of AdhesivesD1004 Test Method for Tear Resistance(Graves Tear)ofPlastic Film and SheetingD1505 Test Method for Density of Plastics by the Density-Gradient TechniqueD2240 Test Method for Rubber PropertyDurometer Hard-nessD3417 Test Method for Enthalpies of Fusion and Crystalli-zation of Polymers by Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC)(Withdrawn 2004)3D3418 Test Method for Transition Temperatures and En-thalpies of Fusion and Crystallization of Polymers byDifferential Scanning CalorimetryD3895 Test Method for Oxidative-Induction Time of Poly-olefins by Differential Scanning CalorimetryD4437 Practice for Non-destructive Testing(NDT)for De-termining the Integrity of Seams Used in Joining FlexiblePolymeric Sheet GeomembranesD4439 Terminology for GeosyntheticsD4545 Practice for Determining the Integrity of FactorySeams Used in Joining Manufactured Flexible SheetGeomembranes(Withdrawn 2008)3D4833/D4833M Test Method for Index Puncture Resistanceof Geomembranes and Related ProductsD5199 Test Method for Measuring the Nominal Thicknessof GeosyntheticsD5322 Practice for Laboratory Immersion Procedures for1This 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 May 1,2013.Published June 2013.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D5747 08.DOI:10.1520/D5747_D5747M-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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 Evaluating the Chemical Resistance of Geosynthetics toLiquidsD5323 Practice for Determination of 2%Secant Modulusfor Polyethylene GeomembranesD5397 Test Method for Evaluation of Stress Crack Resis-tance of Polyolefin Geomembranes Using Notched Con-stant Tensile Load TestD5496 Practice for In Field Immersion Testing of Geosyn-theticsE793 Test Method for Enthalpies of Fusion and Crystalliza-tion by Differential Scanning CalorimetryE794 Test Method for MeltingAnd Crystallization Tempera-tures By Thermal AnalysisF1251 Terminology Relating to Polymeric Biomaterials inMedical and Surgical Devices(Withdrawn 2012)32.2 Government Standard:EPA/600/2-88/052,Lining of Waste Containment and OtherImpoundment Facilities42.3 NSF Standard:NSF Standard 54,Flexible Membrane Liners52.4 FTMS Stand
