(Specification)Standard Specification for Asphalt Roll Roofing (Organic Felt)
Standard Specification for Asphalt Roll Roofing (Organic Felt)
ABSTRACT
This specification covers three classes and three types of asphalt roll roofing in sheet form, in widths agreed upon between the purchaser and the producer/supplier, and composed of asphalt-saturated organic felt coated on both sides with asphalt. Class M and WS rolls are surfaced on the weather (exposed) side with mineral granules, except for any selvage. Class S rolls are surfaced with powdered talc, mica, or other fine mineral matter to prevent sticking. Type classifications (Types II, III, and IV) are grouped based on minimum net mass per unit area of roofing. Roofing shall adhere to physical property requirements such as breaking strength, water permeance and vapor transmission, width, selvage, area, and moisture.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers asphalt roofing in sheet form, in widths agreed upon between the purchaser and the producer/supplier, composed of asphalt-saturated organic felt coated on both sides with asphalt. Class M and WS rolls are surfaced on the (exposed) weather side with mineral granules, except for any selvage. Class S rolls are surfaced with powdered talc, mica, or other fine mineral matter to prevent sticking.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units 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.

5. Materials and Manufacture
5.1 In the process of manufacture, a single thickness of dry organic felt shall first be saturated with asphalt. A coating asphalt,
compounded with or without a fine mineral stabilizer insoluble in water, shall be applied to one or both sides of the sheet. Class
S rolls shall be surfaced on one side with a suitable material to prevent sticking in the roll. Class M and WS rolls shall be covered
on the weather side with mineral granules, except for any selvage; the reverse side shall be covered with a suitable material to
prevent sticking in the roll.
5.2 The felt shall be roofing felt primarily composed of organic fibers. The surface of the felt shall be uniformly and relatively
smooth. Upon splitting or tearing on the bias, the felt shall appear reasonably free of lumps or particles of foreign substances.
6. Physical Properties
6.1 Class S rolls shall conform to the breaking strength and water permeance requirements prescribed in Table 1.
6.2 Upon being unrolled, the finished product shall not crack at ambient temperatures above 10°C (50°F) nor be so sticky at
any temperature below 60°C (140°F) as to cause tearing or material damage.
6.3 Class M rolls with a 102-mm (4-in.) wide selvage shall meet the lap strength requirements with Type II or Type III cement
specified in Specification D 3019.
6.4 Pliability at 25°C (77°F) —At least eight strips out of ten from the granule-surfaced portion of the sheet shall not crack
when tested in accordance with the appropriate section of Test Methods D 228. The samples shall be tested using a mandrel with
1 3
a radius of 12.7 mm ( ⁄2 in.) for Class S roofing and 19 mm ( ⁄4 in.) radius for Class M and WS roll roofing.
6.5 Behavior on Heating to 80°C (176°F) for 2 h—There shall be no more than 1.5 % volatile loss; and there shall be no
flowing, sagging, blistering, or absorption of the asphalt coating; and any granular surfacing shall not slide more than 2 mm ( ⁄16
in.) when tested in accordance with the appropriate section of Test Methods D 228.
7. Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations
7.1 Width—The material shall be put up in rolls and shall be 914 mm (36 in.) wide, 60.7 %. Other widths agreed upon between
the purchaser and the producer/supplier shall not be prohibited.
7.2 Selvage—Class M rolls are available without a selvage, with a 51 6 6-mm (2 6 ⁄4-in.) selvage, or with a 102 6 6-mm
(4 6 ⁄4-in.) selvage. For Class WS rolls, the coated and granule-surfaced portion of the weather side shall have a uniform,
minimum width of 432 66mm(17 6 ⁄4 in.) for the standard 914-mm (36-in.) wide sheet, or as agreed upon between the
