11、testing machine.While maintaining these temperatures,50.8 mm 2 in.cut or ravel strip tensile tests are performed asdirected in Test Method D5035.The same tests are conductedas control under the standard laboratory test conditions.Tensilestrength and percent elongation properties obtained at varioust
12、est temperatures are recorded.Changes in strength character-istics due to the effects of temperature are determined.4.2 The temperatures used for conditioning and testing thegeotextiles are the temperatures at which the geotextile willperform or are typically exposed to in the field.5.Significance a
13、nd Use5.1 This test method is used for evaluating the relativeeffects of temperature on geotextiles manufactured from dif-ferent polymers,by a different manufacturing process,or both.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 onGeosynthetics and is the direct responsibility of
