Note 1: This type of test not commonly performed on this type of material, but it can be performed if desired.
Note 2: While Test Method D6392 was originally developed for non-reinforced geomembranes, it is standard practice for some manufacturers, fabricators, designers, and installers to use this method for reinforced products. However, a new standard test method is being worked on in D35.10 for seam evaluation of reinforced geomembranes, which shall be preferred to Test Method D6392 as soon as it is available.
Note 3: Only provides evaluation of seam continuity, but not seam strength.
Note 4: May not be applicable to very flexible geomembranes, especially thinner ones, that will highly deform into the vacuum box.
Note 5: There are some experiences with air lance on HDPE geomembrane seams for hole detection, although this is not common practice.
Note 6: Typically applicable to materials that are 1.0 mm and thinner.
Note 8: Applicable to dual track seam only.
Note 9: Not applicable to extrusion fillet.
Note 10: Applicable to factory seams only.
Note 11: Refer to Guide D6747.
