ASTM C1306-08
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Hydrostatic Pressure Resistance of a Liquid-Applied Waterproofing Membrane
Standard Test Method for Hydrostatic Pressure Resistance of a Liquid-Applied Waterproofing Membrane
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is used as a screening tool to determine the hydrostatic pressure to which a liquid-applied waterproofing membrane may be subjected without failing when stretched over a crack in the substrate. This test method discriminates between a membrane that is very resistant to hydrostatic pressure and one that is not. Because of the variability inherent in this test method, it is not recommended that this test method be used to set a numerical standard for hydrostatic pressure resistance. No prediction of durability at lower hydrostatic pressures can be made when using the results of this test method.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes a laboratory procedure for determining the resistance of a waterproofing membrane to hydrostatic pressure.
1.2 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is not aware of any comparable standards published by other organizations.
1.3 There are no ISO standards similar or equivalent to this ASTM standard.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
