BS EN 14196:2016

This standard BS EN 14196:2016 Geosynthetics. Test methods for measuring mass per unit area of clay geosynthetic barriers is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.100.50 Binders. Sealing materials
• 59.080.70 Geotextiles

This European Standard describes a test method for the laboratory determination of the mass per unit area of a sample of clay geosynthetic barrier (GBR-C) in the condition as received.

Since manufacturers quote mass per unit area at a given moisture content, it is necessary to measure the moisture content.
