Standard Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity (Relative Density) of Plastics by Displacement

Test Method Title

Standard Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity (Relative Density) of Plastics by Displacement

Reference Number

ASTM D792

Material

Geomembrane

Test Property

Specific Gravity, Density & Relative Density

Description of Test

Determine the mass of a specimen of the solid plastic in air. It is then immersed in a liquid, its apparent mass upon immersion is determined, and its specific gravity (relative density) calculated.

Number of Test Specimens

2

Test Specimen Size
