(Test Method)Standard Test Methods for Strength of Modified Bitumen Sheet Material Laps Using Cold Process Adhesive
Standard Test Methods for Strength of Modified Bitumen Sheet Material Laps Using Cold Process Adhesive
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
These tests are useful in sampling and testing combinations of modified bitumen sheet materials used with cold applied adhesives.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the procedure for sampling and testing the strength of laps formed with adhesive used with polymer-modified bituminous sheet materials.
1.2 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.
1.3 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.
