ASTM D7349-08a
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Determining the Capability of Roofing and Waterproofing Materials to Seal around Fasteners
Standard Test Method for Determining the Capability of Roofing and Waterproofing Materials to Seal around Fasteners
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
In some situations, penetration through asphalt-based roofing or waterproofing materials by fasteners is a required part of the material installation process or occurs during installation of other system components. When fasteners penetrate the material as a purposeful and planned part of the construction process, it is reasonable to expect that materials designed to limit migration of liquid water at the interface between the penetrating fastener and the material will do so. This qualitative test method provides a means to evaluate the ability of a material to limit water migration at fastener penetrations when tested under defined conditions.
SCOPE
1.1 This qualitative test method determines the capability of asphalt-based roofing or waterproofing material to seal around a fastener that penetrates the material and prevent transmission of liquid water through the material at the penetration under defined conditions.
1.2 This test method is provided for adoption by ASTM or other consensus-based roofing and waterproofing product specifications as a standardized means to evaluate capability to seal around a fastener. Performance of this test method after subjecting the product to conditioning intended to simulate environmental stresses and strains is not prohibited.
1.3 The text of this test method references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the 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.

4.1 The capability of asphalt-based roofing or waterproofing materials to seal around a penetrating fastener and prevent the
passage of liquid water at the fastener/material interface is determined by penetrating the material with a fastener, erecting a water
column over that penetration, and monitoring the assembly for water passage for a period of time.
4.2 The test method includes protocols that establish levels for the test method parameters. The protocol used to evaluate a
material is designated in a standard specification for the material or by the user of this test method.
