ASTM D 6637/D6637M : 2015

1.1This test method covers the determination of the tensile strength properties of geogrids by subjecting strips of varying width to tensile loading.

1.2Three alternative procedures are provided to determine the tensile strength, as follows:

1.3This test method is intended for quality control and conformance testing of geogrids.

1.4The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.5This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
