ASTM D2939-03

Standard Test Methods for Emulsified Bitumens Used as Protective Coatings (Withdrawn 2012)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
These tests are useful in evaluating and characterizing coal tar emulsion and other bituminous emulsions to establish uniformity of shipments.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for sampling and testing emulsified bitumens used in relatively thick films as protective coatings for metals, built-up roofs, and bituminous pavements.
1.2 The test methods appear in the following order:Test Procedures for All CoatingsSectionSampling4Uniformity5Resistance to Freezing6Weight per Gallon7Residue by Evaporation8Volatiles9Ash Content10Water Content11Flash Point12Drying Time13Resistance to Heat14Resistance to Water15Flexibility16Tests used primarily for coatings used over metals and built-up roofsBrush-Application Behavior17Spray-Application Behavior18Wet Flow19Direct Flame Test20Solubility of Residue in Trichloroethylene21Tests used primarily for coatings used over bituminous pavementsWet Film Continuity22Resistance to Volatilization23Solubility of Residue in Carbon Disulfide24Resistance to Kerosine25Resistance to Impact26Resistance to Impact After Accelerated Weathering27Aggregate (Sand) Content in Bituminous Emulsions28Precision Bias29
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
These test methods cover procedures for sampling and testing emulsified bitumens used in relatively thick films as protective coatings for metals, built-up roofs, and bituminous pavements.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing, these test methods were withdrawn in July 2012 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
