This is used for measuring the thickness of the geotextile. The thickness of the geosynthetic material can be measured with an accuracy of 0.002 mm for thickness up to 10 mm. Accuracy is 0.01 mm for thickness greater than 10 mm. Simple mechanism is provided to apply desired foot pressure varying from 1 to 10 kPa Surface plate is grounded and is rust free to enable reproducible results.
SGE-1016
Puncture TestIn this test, developed by the Corps of Engineers, USA, the geotextile specimen is clamped to obtain an inside dia of 44.45 mm and force is applied through an 8 mm dia plunger till failure. The Modified ASTM D-3787 provides for a hemispherical plunger and accordingly has been developed. The puncture strength so obtained is felt to reflect the fabric's ability to withstand aggregate penetration.
