NF EN ISO 13433
Geosynthetics - Dynamic perforation test (cone drop test)
ISO 13433:2006 specifies a method to determine the resistance of geosynthetics to penetration by a steel cone dropped from a fixed height. The degree of penetration is an indication of the behaviour of the geosynthetic when sharp stones are dropped on its surface. The method is generally applicable to geosynthetics. However, the validity of this test for some types of products should be considered carefully, as the test principle may not be applicable.

Ce document décrit une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la résistance d'un géotextile à la pénétration par un cône d'acier tombant en chute libre d'une hauteur fixée. L'essai permet de déterminer le diamètre moyen des trous d'un cône effilé gradué par insertion de celui-ci.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
