1.1 This practice describes an approach and methodology for immersion testing of geosynthetics (for example, geomem-branes used for landfill liner).
1.2 This practice does not provide for definition of the testing to be performed on the geosynthetic samples for field immersion. This practice does not address the determination of resistance of the geosynthetic to the liquid in which it is immersed. The user of this practice is referred to the appropri-ate Standard Guide for Tests to evaluate the chemical resis-tance and for defining the testing to be performed for each of the geosynthetic components listed in 2.1.
NOTE 1—EPA Method 9090 has been used in the past to investigate the compatibility of geomembrane to leachates.
