Understanding minimum average roll value (MARV) is essential in ensuring data support product requirements reported by the manufacturer. There appears to be confusion in the geosynthetic industry concerning the application and definition of product requirements particularly as they relate to MARV. MARV is a statistical value and not a ‘minimum’ number. The interpretation of these values has become an issue and actual data may not support a calculated MARV that meets or exceeds the published MARV.
Attendees will learn about:
- The statistical approach used to determine MARV
- Current methods of calculation for MARV as compared to the statistical approach based on process performance
- Additional guidance including ASTM test methods will be discussed to provide an organized approach to sampling, testing and management of test data and certifications
Participants will earn 1 PDH at the conclusion of this webinar.
