ASTM D7408
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers the minimum values for seams fabricated into unreinforced PVC geomembranes in factory and field applications.
1.2 This specification covers PVC Geomembranes in thickness of .25 through 1.52 mm (0.010 through 0.060 in.)
1.3 In addition to structural characteristics, the specifier shall evaluate other characteristics beyond the scope of this specification that affect the final choice of construction. These include, but are not limited to, functional, legal, insurance and economic considerations.
1.4 This specification is not intended to exclude products or systems not covered by the referenced documents.
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
