Notes:

1. PGI 1104 replaces PGI 1103 Specification effective 1/1/04. 2. Certified properties are tested by lot as specified in PGI 1104 Appendix A. 3. Metric values are converted from US values and are rounded to the available significant digits. 4. Modifications or further details of test are described in PGI 1104 Appendix B. 5. Index properties are tested once per formulation as specified in PGI 1104 Appendix A.

The PGI 1104 Specification was developed with the cooperation of PGI member companies in order to meet the stringent requirements of todays geosynthetic applications. To assure this level of quality, be sure to specify that your PVC geomembrane is produced and fabricated by a PGI member.

PGI 1104 APPENDIX A TESTING FREQUENCIES


MANUFACTURING TESTING FREQUENCIES
Certified Properties Certified properties are tested based on a quantity of material produced. Certified properties are tested once per lot, or once every 40,000 lbs of material (18,000 kg), whichever is more frequent. The certification properties include thickness, tensile break strength, elongation at break, modulus at 100% strain, tear resistance, dimensional stability, and low temperature impact. Thickness is to be tested once per roll unless automatic thickness measuring equipment is installed on the production equipment. Certified test reports (Mill Certificates) for the tested properties are to be provided with every order on request. Index Properties Index tests are performed when preparing and approving a geomembrane formulation. The tests are performed on the final production formulation of a geomembrane. The index properties include specific gravity, water extraction, volatile loss, hydrostatic resistance, and soil burial resistance. A certified statement of the test results for the formulation is to be made available to the customer on request.
