ASTM D 6388 : 2018

1.1This practice describes procedures for testing geonet products for chemical resistance with liquid wastes, prepared chemical solutions, or leachates, or both, derived from solid wastes.

1.2This practice describes test methods for measuring changes in mass, dimensions, tensile and hydraulic properties, and other optional physical and mechanical properties caused by immersion in test solutions, which may be representative of anticipated end-use conditions. This practice may be used to assess the extent to which a product's as-manufactured properties are affected by such immersion.

1.3This practice is intended to be used in conjunction with Practice D5322 or D5496. The scope of this practice is limited to testing and reporting procedures for unexposed and exposed geonet samples.

1.4Evaluation or interpretation of test data is beyond the scope of this practice.
