(1)
Test methods modified to 20 in./min. for unreinforced and 12 in./min.
for reinforced. |
|
| |
(2)
Calculation based on a 2.0 in. gage length |
|
| |
(3)
Using 1/ in. mandrel for 4-hours |
|
| |
(4) Applicable only to black geomembranes. Also D1603 is an acceptable
method to determine carbon black content.
|
|
| |
(5)
Not recommended since high temperature of the Std-OIT test procedures
an unrealistic result for some antioxidants used in fPP formulations. |
|
| |
(6) It is also recommended to evaluate samples at 15 days to compare
with the 30 day response. |
|
| |
(7) The condition
of the test should be 20 hr. UV cycle at 75ºC
followed by 4 hr. condensation at 60ºC.` |
