ASTM D6637/D6637M, Standard Test Method for Determining Tensile Properties of Geogrids by the Single or Multi-Rib Tensile Method, is the test method for tensile properties.
ASTM D6637/D6637M Standard Test Method for Determining Tensile Properties of Geogrids by the Single or Multi-Rib Tensile Method
At a Glance
Document type: Test Method.
Edition: active, current edition D6637/D6637M-15.
Property determined: tensile properties.
Scope
Determination of the tensile strength properties of geogrids by subjecting strips of varying width to tensile loading.
Three alternative procedures: Method A, a single geogrid rib in tension; Method B, multiple geogrid ribs in tension; Method C, multiple layers of multiple geogrid ribs in tension.
Used for quality control and acceptance testing of commercial shipments of geogrids.
What the Result Tells You
A test to ASTM D6637/D6637M characterises the tensile properties of the material or assembly under the conditions the method fixes: specimen form, rate of loading and the environment in which the test is run.
Because the numbers depend on those fixed conditions, a result is only meaningful when the report names the standard, the edition and any options the method allows.

Reading the Designation
ASTM D6637/D6637M: a dual designation. One half carries the inch-pound version and the other the SI version. The two systems are used independently, never mixed inside a single report.
When a drawing, purchase order or quality procedure cites this document, the test setup, the specimen and the report follow that citation.
