GOST 32491  Geosynthetics. Tensile Test with Wide Strip

GOST 32491   establishes a tensile test method using a wide belt to determine the mechanical properties of geosynthetic materials.

The test method applies to geosynthetic materials, including woven and non-woven geotextiles, geocomposites, thread-geotextiles and needle-punched fabrics.

The test method also applies to geogrids and similar geotextile materials with an open structure, but sample sizes can be adjusted.

*** The test method does not apply to polymer or bitumen geosynthetic barriers, but applies to geosynthetic clay barriers (bentonite mats)

*** Before conducting this GOST standard , it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
