2、e year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the adhe-sion strength(180 peel)between plies of reinforced geomem-bra
3、nes such as internally reinforced geomembranes and coatedfabrics.1.2 This test method is not intended for determining thestrength of geomembrane seams or for determining the plyadhesion strength of geocomposite components(such as non-woven geotextile bonded to geomembrane,or geotextilebonded to drai

10、rated at an angle of180 at a constant rate of extension and the cross-headmovement and force are recorded.5.Significance and Use5.1 This method is an index test and measures the forcerequired to separate individual plies of a reinforced geomem-brane.The acceptable value of adhesion will vary for dif
11、ferenttypes of products.However for a particular type of product,minimum values of ply adhesion can be determined and agreedto by producer and consumer,and both can monitor to assurecompliance with the agreed-upon value.5.2 DisputesIn case of a dispute arising from differencesin reported test result
