Blog 3 6 月, 2025
With the geotextile can participate in the project is more and more large, the major workers on the geotextile requirements are also more and more high, so the geotextile in all aspects of the performance had to be improved to adapt to the market demand, in line with the use of engineering standards. So that nowadays people people on geotextile testing has become quite important.
Geotextile, also known as geotextile. It is a permeable geosynthetic material made of synthetic fibers by needling or weaving. Geotextile is a new type of construction material. According to the manufacturing method is divided into: spun geotextile and non-woven geotextile two types. In the project can play the role of filtration, drainage, isolation, protection, strengthening and so on.
I. Geotextile testing scope:

15. Determination of joint/seam breaking strength: GB/T16989 implementation.
16. Determination of ultraviolet resistance: reference to ISO4892.2 determination, usually determined after the light intensity retention rate, the test time can be selected according to need, such as 150. 300. 500h.
Third, the purchase of geotextile 3 points of attention
In the purchase of geotextiles, in addition to working on specifications, in other areas can not be sloppy, mainly the following 3 points of attention.
1. in the choice of geotextile, if you can choose a thick type of geotextile do not thin type, because compared to thin geotextile, thick geotextile not only tensile strength and pressure resistance performance is good, in the use of the process can also play a very good role in the barrier and protection.
2. as far as possible to choose the national standard geotextile, because non-standard geotextile in all aspects of performance are not compared to the national standard geotextile, especially in the strength of them and puncture resistance and durability.
3. as far as possible, choose wide enough geotextile, because this can reduce the number of geotextile welding or stitching in the construction process, can greatly improve the construction progress.
