Material

Geonet

Test Property

nominal thickness

Description of Test

The nominal thickness of geosynthetics is determined by observing the perpendicular distance that a movable plane is displaced from a parallel surface by the geotextile or geomembrane material while under a specified pressure (2 kPa for geotextiles and 20 kPa for geomembranes for 5s).
