ASTM D7088-08

Standard Practice for Resistance to Hydrostatic Pressure for Coatings Used in Below Grade Applications Applied to Masonry (Withdrawn 2017)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test is meant to simulate the ability of a coating applied to a basement or other below grade masonry walls to prevent the intrusion of water through the coating caused by hydrostatic pressure from water on the outside of the structure.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice is for the evaluation of coatings used in below grade applications to resist the passage of water through concrete block.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
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 to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications, this practice was withdrawn in January 2017 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the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.

4cm(1 ⁄2 in.) are coated on all four faces with the test paint and allowed to cure. Rubber gaskets are sealed to the top and bottom
of the test blocks typically with an epoxy or sealant. Water is then used to fill each coated test block. They are allowed to sit for
seven days.Air pressure is then introduced and the face of the blocks is evaluated for the size and frequency of water droplets on
the face of the coating, any blistering, loss of adhesion, softening, discoloration or other film irregularities.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 This test is meant to simulate the ability of a coating applied to a basement or other below grade masonry walls to prevent
the intrusion of water through the coating caused by hydrostatic pressure from water on the outside of the structure.
5. Apparatus
5.1 The metal frame test apparatus used in this practice (See Fig. 1) consists of a series of bolts and wing nuts used for clamping
the plate tightly against the gasket and the test block. The top metal plate has an opening in the center into which a pipe cap is
drilled and tapped to receive an air supply from a compressor tank or hand pump to increase in inside pressure. (See Fig. 2.)
