Designation:D5747/D5747M21Standard 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.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 D5496,or both.The scope of this practice islimited to testing and reporting procedures for unexposed andexposed 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 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.1.6 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 7.1.7 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: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 TechniqueD2124 Test Method for Analysis of Components in Poly(Vi-nyl Chloride)Compounds Using an Infrared Spectropho-tometric Technique(Withdrawn 2020)3D2240 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/D4437M Practice for Nondestructive Testing(NDT)for Determining the Integrity of Seams Used in JoiningFlexible Polymeric Sheet GeomembranesD4439 Terminology for Geosynthetics1This 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 March 1,2021.Published March 2021.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2020 as D5747/D5747M 20.DOI:10.1520/D5747_D5747M-21.2For 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 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.1D4545 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 forEvaluating the Chemical Resistance of Geosynthetics toLiquids
