Geviexillus are Used in engineering, batiding constuction, hydraulic works, eft, all outside the textile industry. Geolexitfes are usually supplied in rolls. typically with an area of 500m? per roli for a product of average mass per uni area Typically, se of goatextiles ts based upon utilization of the entire roll in one piece. Tharetore, whist the testing of geolextiie somples shoutd ensure the best possible statistical sinnificance of the average result and the coefficient of variation, there are practical inmits to the possible gistributign of samples and specimens over the entire iol and its single units suppiied to @ duitding siteINTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9862:1990(E) Geotextiles — Sampling and preparation of test specimens 1 Scope 4.1. This international Standard establishes gen- eral principles for te camping of geotextllas and preparation of test specimens from the samples 1.2. The sampling principles are applicable to gedlextifes suppked in rolls. [SC 188 may be used for units in othar shapes, 1.3.
