ASTM D6506-01

Standard Specification for Asphalt Based Protection for Below-Grade Waterproofing

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the manufacture, testing, and physical requirements of two classes of asphalt based protection board used for protecting the integrity of below grade or below wearing surface waterproofing. Class A is made with asphalt saturated organic felt on the bottom and a coated or saturated non-woven glass felt on top, while Class B is made with glass fabrics both top and bottom. The boards shall be sampled for testing, and each class shall conform accordingly to specified individual values of the following physical properties: nominal thickness; puncture strength; water absorption; asphalt content; and resistance to decay.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers an asphalt based protection board used for protecting the integrity of below grade or below wearing surface waterproofing. The protection board protects the waterproofing system from backfill, surfacing, construction activities, and weathering conditions prior to backfilling or applying surfacing.
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 determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
