METHODS OF TEST FOR GEOTEXTILES. PART 6: DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE TO PERFORATION (CONE DROP TEST)

This Part of BS 6906 has been prepared under the direction of the Textiles and Clothing Standards Policy Committee. It describes a test which was developed initially in Scandinavia and Switzerland to simulate the damage likely to result from dropping sharp pointed stones on to geotextiles. As such it is a measure of the propensity of the fabric to be spoiled during installation rather than in use. It is expected to be used as an index test, and information on the accuracy of the test is given in appendix A. It is applicable to woven, and nonwoven material. This standard will eventually comprise eight parts. (TRRL)
