  • Fabric Nomenclature
DEF

Of or relating to a fabric that is woven with a double thread at regular intervals so that small tears do not spread.

CONT

Ripstop nylon is a light-weight nylon fabric with inter-woven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern. The material comes in many different colors and sizes, including thickness. It is woven with coarse, strong warp and filling yarns spaced at intervals so that tears will not spread. Ripstop nylon produced for various purposes may be waterproof, water resistant, fire resistant, or have zero porosity(will not allow air or water through), and can come in light, medium and heavy weights. Textures range from a soft and silk-like material to a crisp or stiff fabric that sounds like a paper bag when moved.

DEF

A woven, open-mesh reinforcing fabric made from continuous-filament yarn. Used in the reinforcement of polymeric sheeting.

CONT

Woven fabrics are used to reinforce some spread coated and some calendered geomembranes. The type of woven fabric generally used to reinforce calendered geomembranes is a scrim. A scrim is a type of open weave fabric with a low mass per unit area (ie, a "lightweight" fabric),

CONT

Open weave fabrics, used to form composite geotextiles, are sometimes referred to as scrims.

Géotextiles composites. Nous rassemblerons [...] sous ce type, tous les géotextiles constitués par des associations judicieuses de géotextiles «simples» : tissé, non-tissé, tricoté, fil, film, etc. [...] Nous illustrerons ci-après quelques exemples de ces géotextiles du type «composites» : [...] Géotextile non-tissé de fibres aiguilletés sur un renfort tissé : La figure 33 illustre une micrographie optique de l'état de surface (envers) du produit, sur laquelle on peut distinguer nettement le renfort tissé.

Record 5 1991-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Technical Textiles
  • Civil Engineering
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

Manufactured, reinforced geomembranes are made in a plant, usually by spread coating or calendering. In spread-coated geomembranes, the reinforcing fabric (woven or nonwoven) is impregnated and coated on one or both sides with the compound, either polymeric or asphaltic. In calendered reinforced geomembranes, the reinforcing fabric is usually a scrim.

OBS

[R geomembrane] An abbreviated system for identifying geomembranes consists of providing the generic name (or initials) of the base product, followed by the letter R if the geomembrane is reinforced. Examples: A PVC geomembrane; a CPE-R geomembrane.

OBS

[Supported geomembrane] ... the term "supported", sometimes used for "reinforced", is not recommended because it may create a confusion with the "supporting" soil or geotextile on which the geomembrane is resting.

OBS

Scrim : A woven, open-mesh reinforcing fabric made from continuous-filament yarn. Used in the reinforcement of polymeric sheeting.

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Géomembrane renforcée, dont le renfort, appelé armature, est constitué d'une structure ou d'éléments continus.

CONT

Géomembrane renforcée (...) les renforts utilisés peuvent être fibreux ou granulaires, en matière organique ou minérale. Ils sont très fortement liés à la matrice constituant la géomembrane. Ils peuvent être répartis uniformément dans toute la masse ou localisés dans l'épaisseur. Lorsqu'ils se présentent sous forme de structures ou d'éléments continus, on les appelle armature [...) géomembrane armée).
