Sets out a series of test methods for determining the physical properties of geotextiles.

This Standard sets out general requirements for the testing of fabrics intended for use as geotextiles. It sets out sampling and conditioning procedures, the methods for the determination of basic physical properties such as length and mass per unit area, and the principles of statistical analysis to be applied to the other Standards in this series, as appropriate.
