Expert Commentary
The Index Puncture Resistance of Geotextiles, Geomembranes, and Related Products. A 8 mm diameter solid steel rod is pushed through a clamped specimen. The engineering focus is on the Initial Puncture Force. MTO’s fixture features a beveled clamping ring to prevent the material from slipping. This test is a standard requirement for landfill liners and environmental containment systems where the membrane must resist being pierced by stones or construction debris.
