ASTM D6141-97
Historical Standard: ASTM D6141-97 Standard Guide for Screening the Clay Portion of a Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) for Chemical Compatibility to Liquids
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6141
1. Scope
1.1 This guide suggests procedures and test methods that can be used in the evaluation of the ability of the clay portion of a geosynthetic clay liner to resist change due to exposure to liquids. These liquids may come from a site, or be generated in a laboratory from a site-specific soil.
1.2 The scope of this guide is limited to short-term screening and is not intended to replace evaluation procedures that measure a performance property such as EPA 9100. Test Method D 5887, or other suitable ASTM standards as they become available.
1.3 This guide applies to the clay component of a GCL. The synthetic carrier components are covered independently as described in Practice D 5322.
1.4 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.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
