Geosynthetics - Screening test method for determining the resistance of geotextiles and geotextile-related products to oxidation (ISO 13438:2018)

This international standard specifies a screening test method for determining the resistance of geotextiles and geotextile-related products to oxidation. The test is applicable to polypropylene and polyethylene based products.
The data are suitable for screening purposes but not for deriving performance data such as lifetime unless supported by further evidence.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 221, Geosynthetics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13438:2004), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— procedural guidance regarding the use of exposure ovens has been added;
— procedural guidance regarding the use of autoclaves has been added.

ISO 13438:2018(E)

Introduction
In many civil engineering applications, geotextiles and geotextile-related products can come into
contact with water or aqueous solutions present in the soil environment. At the same time, in specific
parts of the construction, they can be exposed to oxygen, giving rise to oxidative degradation processes.
These processes are usually very slow.
Polyolefin materials, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), are inherently more sensitive
to oxidation than those based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Other polymers, such as poly(vinyl
alcohol) (PVAL according to ISO 1043-1), are also sensitive to oxidation in specific conditions (aqueous
media with oxidizing agent). This behaviour can be improved very effectively by the use of appropriate
stabilizing additives.
It is the purpose of this document to provide a method for screening the resistance to oxidation of
geotextiles and geotextile-related products in service for 25, 50 and 100 years. In order to achieve
the sufficiently short exposure times needed for screening tests, the oxidative degradation process
is accelerated. This acceleration can be achieved either by raising the temperature or by increasing
the concentration of the active reaction partner. Raising the temperature can lead to the oxidation
rate being limited by oxygen diffusion, thus invalidating the acceleration. This applies particularly
to materials with a low surface-to-volume ratio and less to nonwovens made from fine fibres. Two
methods are therefore proposed.
Method A (which was Method B in the previous edition) uses temperature alone as the accelerating
factor and is used for PE, PP, PA and AR.
Method B operates at moderately high temperatures and, at the same time, the oxygen concentration is
increased by using pure oxygen at high pressure. Method B is used for PVAL.
