Scope

This Standard sets out the method for determining the transmissivity of geotextiles by
measuring the rate of flow of water in the plane of the fabric under a constant head using a
radial flow apparatus.
NOTES:
1 Transmissivity is the preferred measure of the in-plane water flow capacity of a geotextile.
2 This method may have limitations for materials where the transmissivity varies with direction
of flow.
3 The transmissivity of the fabric varies with other contact surfaces, compressive stress and
hydraulic gradient.
