1.Scope
1.1This test method is an index test which provides a procedure for determining the breaking load(grab strength) and elongation(grab elongation)of geotextiles using the grab method.This test method is not suitable for knitted fabrics and alternate test methods should be ud.While uful for quality control and acceptance testing for a specific fabric structure, the results can only be ud comparatively between fabrics with very similar structures,becau each different fabric structure performs in a unique and characteristic manner in this test.The grab test methods does not provide all the information needed for all design applications and other test methods should be ud.
1.2Procedures for measuring the breaking load and elon-gation by the grab method in both the dry and wet state are included;however,testing is normally done in the dry condi-tion unless specified otherwi in an agreement or specifica-tion.
1.3The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded parately as standard.The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be ud independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its u.It is the responsibility of the ur of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to u.

3.1.8For definitions of other terms ud in this test method, refer to Terminology D123or Terminology D4439.
4.Summary of Test Method
4.1A continually increasing load is applied longitudinally to the specimen and the test is carried to rupture.Values for the breaking load and elongation of the test specimen are obtained from machine scales or dials,autographic recording charts,or interfaced computers.
5.Significance and U
5.1The grab method is applicable whenever it is desired to determine the“effective strength”of the fabric in u,that is, the strength of the material in a specific width,together with the additional strength contributed by adjacent material.There is no simple relationship between grab tests and strip tests since the amount of fabric assistance depends on the construction of the fabric.It is uful
as a quality control or acceptance test.
5.2The procedure in Test Method D4632/D4632M for the determination of grab strength of geotextiles may be ud for acceptance testing of commercial shipments,but caution is advid since information about between-laboratory precision is incomplete.Comparative tests as directed in 5.2.1are advisable.
5.2.1In ca of a dispute arising from differences in reported test results when using the procedures in Test Method D4632/D4632M for acceptance testing of commercial shipments,the purchar and the manufacturer should conduct comparative tests to determine if there is a statistical bias between their laboratories.Competent statistical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum,the two parties should take a group of test specimens that are as homogeneous as possible and which are from a lot of material of the type in question.The test specimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing.The average results from the two laboratories should be compared using the appropriate Student’s t-test and an accept-able probability level chon by the two parties before testing is begun.If a bias is found,either its cau must be found and corrected or the purchar and the manufacturer must agree to interpret future test results in the light of the known bias. 5.3Most geotextile fabrics can be tested by this test metho
jenningsd. Some modification of clamping techniques may be necessary for a given fabric,depending upon its structure.Special adaptation may be necessary with strong fabrics,or fabrics made from glassfibers,to prevent them from slipping in the clamps or being damaged as a result of being gripped in the clamps,such as cushioning the clamp or boarding the specimen within the clamp.
5.4This test method is applicable for testing fabrics either dry or wet.It may be ud with constant-rate-of-traver(CRT) or constant-rate-of-extension(CRE)type tension machines. However,there may be no overall correlation between the results obtained with the CRT machine and the CRE machine. Conquently,the two tension testers cannot be ud inter-changeably.In ca of controversy,the CRE machine shall prevail.
6.Apparatus
6.1Tensile Testing Machine,of the constant-rate-of-extension(CRE)or constant-rate-of-traver(CRT)type with autographic recorder conforming to the requirements of Speci-fication D76/D76M.
6.2Clamps,having all gripping surfaces parallel,flat,and capable of preventing slipping of the specimen during a test. Each clamp shall have one jaw face measuring25.4by50.8 mm[1by2in.],with
the longer dimension parallel to the direction of application of the load.The other jaw face of each clamp shall be at least as large as its mate.Each jaw face shall be in line,both with respect to its mate in the same clamp and to the corresponding jaw of the other clamp.
7.Sampling and Selection
7.1Division into Lots and Lot Samples—Divide the material into lots and take a lot sample as directed in Practice D4354. Rolls of fabric are the primary sampling unit.
7.2Laboratory Sample—Take for the laboratory sample a swatch extending the width of the fabric and approximately 1m[39.37in.]along the lvage from each roll in the lot sample.The swatch may be taken from the end portion of a roll provided there is no evidence that it is distorted or different from other portions of the roll.In cas of dispute,take a swatch that will exclude fabric from the outer wrap of the roll or the inner wrap around the core.
7.3Test Specimens—Cut the number of specimens from each swatch in the laboratory sample determined as directed in Section8.Take no specimens nearer the lvage of fabric edge than1⁄20of the fabric width or150mm[6in.],whichever is the smaller.Cut rectangular specimens101.6by203.2 mm[4by8in.].Cut the specimens to be ud for grab tests in the machine direction with the longer di
mension parallel to the machine direction and the specimens to be ud for grab tests in the cross-machine direction with the longer dimension parallel to the cross-machine direction.Locate each group of specimens along a diagonal line on the swatch so that each specimen will contain different warp ends andfilling picks. Draw a line37mm[1.5in.]from the edge of the specimen running its full length.For woven and reinforced nonwoven fabrics,this line must be accurately parallel to the lengthwi yarns in the specimen.
8.Number of Specimens
8.1Unless otherwi agreed upon as when provided in an applicable material specification,take a number of test speci-mens per swatch in the laboratory sample such that the ur may expect at the95%probability level that the test result is no more than5%above the true average for each swatch in the laboratory sample for each the machine and cross-machine direction,respectively.
8.1.1Reliable Estimate of v—When there is a reliable estimate of v bad upon extensive past records for similar materials tested in the ur’s laboratory as directed in the method,calculate the required number of specimens using Eq 1,as follows:
n5~tv/A!2

where:
n =number of test specimens (rounded upward to a whole
number),
v =reliable estimate of the coefficient of variation of indi-vidual obrvations on similar materials in the ur’s laboratory under conditions of single-operator precision,%,
t =the value of Student’s t for one-sided limits (e Table
1),a 95%probability level,and the degrees of freedom associated with the estimate of v ,and
A = 5.0%of the average,the value of the allowable
variation.
happen
8.1.2No Reliable Estimate of v—When there is no reliable estimate of v for the ur’s laboratory,Eq 1should not be ud directly.Instead,specify the fixed number of 10specimens for the machine direction tests and 10specimens for the cross-machine direction tests.The number of specimens is calculated using v =9.5%of the average for both machine direction and cross-machine direction.The values for v are somewhat larger than usually found in practice.When a reliable estimate of v for the ur’s laboratory becomes available,Eq 1will usually require fewer than the fixed number of specimens.9.Conditioning
9.1Bring the specimens to moisture equilibrium in the atmosphere for testing geotextiles.Equilibrium is considered to have been reached when the increa in mass of the specimen in successive weighings made at intervals of not less than 2h does not exceed 0.1%of the mass of the specimen.In general practice,the industry approaches equilibrium from the “as received”side.
N OTE 1—It is recognized that in practice geotextile materials are frequently not weighed to determine when moisture equilibrium has been reached.While such a procedure cannot be accepted
in cas of dispute,it may be sufficient in routine testing to expo the material to the standard atmosphere for testing for a reasonable period of time before the specimens are tested.A time of at least 24h has been found acceptable in most cas.However,certain fibers may exhibit slow moisture equaliza-tion rates from the “as received”wet side.When this is known,a preconditioning cycle,as described in Practice D1776/D1776M ,may be agreed upon between contractual parties.
9.2Specimens to be tested in the wet condition shall be immerd in water maintained at a temperature of 2162°C [7064°F].The time of immersion must be sufficient to wet-out the specimens thoroughly,as indicated by no signifi-cant change in strength or elongation following a longer period of immersion,and at least 2min.To obtain thorough wetting,it may be necessary or advisable to add not more than 0.05%of a nonionic neutral wetting agent to the water.10.Procedure
10.1Test the conditioned specimens in the standard atmo-sphere for testing in accordance with Section 9.
10.2Set the distance between the clamps at the start of the test at 7561mm [360.05in.].Select the load range of the testing machine such that the maximum load occurs between 10and 90%of full-scale load.Set the machine to operate at a speed of 300610mm/min [1260.5in./min].
10.3Secure the specimen in the clamps of the testing machine,taking care that the long dimension is as nearly as possible parallel to the direction of application of the load.Be sure that the tension in the specimen is uniform across the clamped width.Inrt the specimen in the clamps so that approximately the same length of fabric extends beyond the jaw at each end.Locate the jaws centrally in the widthwi direction by having the line which was drawn 37mm [1.5in.]from the edge of the specimen run adjacent to the side of the upper and lower front jaws which are nearest this edge.This ensures that the same lengthwi yarns are gripped in both clamps.
10.4If a specimen slips in the jaws,breaks at the edge of or in the jaws,or if for any reason attributed to a faulty operation the result falls markedly below the average for the t of specimens,discard the result and take another specimen.Continue this procedure until the required number of accept-able breaks have been obtained.
N OTE 2—The decision to discard a break shall be bad on obrvation of the specimen during the test and upon the inherent variability of the fabric.In the abnce of other criteria for rejecting a so-called jaw break,any break occurring within 5mm [1⁄4in.]of the jaws which results in a value below 80%of the average of all the other breaks shall be discarded.No other break shall be discarded unless it is known to be faulty.
N OTE 3—It is difficult to determine the preci reason for breakage of test specimens near the edge of the jaws.If breaks are caud by damage to the specimen by the jaws,then the results should be discarded.If,however,they are merely due to randomly distributed weak places in specimens,the results should be considered perfectly legitimate.In some cas,breaks may be caud by a concentration of stress in the area adjacent to the jaws.If this occurs,the specimen is prevented from contracting in width as the load is applied.In such cas,a break near the edge of the jaws is inevitable and shall be accepted as a characteristic of the geotextile when tested by this test method.
10.5Start the tensile testing machine and the area measur-ing device,if ud,and continue running the test to rupture.Stop the machine and ret to the initial gage position.Record and report the test results for each direction parately.10.6If fabric manifests slippage in the jaws,the jaw faces,but not the jaw dimensions,may be modified.If a modification is ud,the method of modification should be stated in the report.

10.7Unless otherwi specified,measure the elongation of the fabric at any stated load by means of a suitable autographic recording device,at the same time the breaking strength is determined.Measure the elongation from the point where the curve leaves the zero loading axis to a point of corresponding force in millimetres [inches].11.Calculation
11.1Breaking Load—Calculate the breaking load by aver-aging the value of breaking load for all accepted specimen results.The breaking load shall be determined parately for the machine direction specimens and cross-machine direction specimens.
11.2Apparent Elongation—Calculate the apparent elonga-tion at the breaking load or at other specified loads by averaging the values of apparent elongation for all accepted specimen results.The apparent elongation shall be determined parately for the machine direction specimens and cross-machine direction specimens and expresd as the percentage increa in length,bad upon the initial nominal gage length of the specimen.Report this as the apparent elongation.
N OTE 4—The obrved elongation calculated as a percentage of the initial nominal gage length of the specimen should be referred to as “apparent elongation.”Becau the actual length of fabric stretched is usually somewhat greater than this initial length due to pull-out of fabric from between the jaws,elongation calculated on initial length may be somewhat in error,depending upon the amount of this pull-out.
12.Report
12.1Report the following information:
12.1.1State that the tests were performed as directed in Test Method D4632/D4632M.Describe the material(s)or prod-uct(s)sampled and the method of sampling ud.
12.1.2The average grab breaking load for specimens cut in each direction,for all specimens giving acceptable breaks.12.1.3The average grab percent apparent elongation of specimens cut in each direction,for all specimens giving acceptable breaks,if required.Identify this as “apparent breaking elongation,”or “apparent elongation at x lb load,”as required by the test specifications.
12.1.4Number of specimens tested in each direction.12.1.5Condition of specimens (wet or dry).12.1.6Type of testing machine ud.
12.1.7Maximum load obtainable in the range ud for testing.
12.1.8Type of padding ud in jaws,modification of specimen gripped in the jaws,or modification of jaw faces,if ud.
12.1.9Any modifications of sample specimens as manufactured,or test method as described.13.Precision and Bias 4
13.1Precision—The precision of this test method is bad on an interlaboratory study of D4632/D4632M,Standard Test Method for Grab Breaking Load and Elongation of Geotextiles,conducted in 2013.Ten laboratories tested a total of four different geotextile samples for elongation and tensile strength at rupture.Every “test result”reprents an individual determination.All labs were asked to report triplicate test results for each material tested.Practice E691was followed for the design and analysis of the data;the details are given in ASTM Rearch Report No.RR:D35-1021.
13.1.1Repeatability Limit (r)—Two test results obtained within one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if they differ by more than the “r”value for that material;“r”is the interval reprenting the critical difference between two test results for the same material,obtained by the same operator usin
g the same equipment on the same day in the same laboratory.
13.1.1.1Repeatability limits are listed in Tables 2and 3.13.1.2Reproducibility limit (R)—Two test results shall be judged not equivalent if they differ by more than the “R”value for that material;“R”is the interval reprenting the critical difference between two test results for the same material,obtained by different operators using different equipment in different laboratories.
13.1.2.1Reproducibility limits are listed in Tables 2and 3.13.1.3The above terms (repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit)are ud as specified in Practice E177.
13.1.4Any judgment in accordance with statements 13.1.1and 13.1.2would have an approximate 95%probability of being correct.
13.2Bias—At the time of the study,there was no accepted reference material suitable for determining the bias for this test method,therefore no statement on bias is being made.
