(Practice)Standard Practice for Sampling and Analysis of Existing Built-Up Roof Systems
Standard Practice for Sampling and Analysis of Existing Built-Up Roof Systems
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This practice is for the sampling and analysis of existing built-up roof systems. For roofs under construction, use Practice D3617/D3617M.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice is a guide for removing test specimens from existing built-up roofing systems in the field and for determining the approximate quantities of the components of that specimen (Note 1). Components determined may be:
1.1.1 Insulation components when they are part of the roof membrane system,
1.1.2 Plies of roofing felt,
1.1.3 Interply layers of bituminous material,
1.1.4 Top coating, and
1.1.5 Surfacing.
Note 1: This procedure is for the investigation of existing roofs and is not intended for new construction inspection.
1.2 This practice is applicable to both 914-mm [36-in.] and 1000-mm [39 3/8-in.] wide felt rolls.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
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 this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precautionary information, see 6.3.2.1.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions—For definitions of terms used in this practice, refer to Terminology D1079.
4. Securing of Specimens in the Field
4.1 Do not disturb any surfacing in the area from which a specimen is to be taken. Cut each specimen at least 300 by 300 mm
(12[12 by 12 in.)in.] and use the total specimen taken in the field for laboratory analysis.
4.2 The recommended practice is to use a cutting template (Fig. 1) consisting of a 300 by 300-mm (12[12 by 12-in.)12-in.] metal
box with an open bottom. Place the box over the roof area that is to be removed, and while the template is held firmly in position,
remove the surfacing around the perimeter and then cut through the roof membrane around the perimeter of the box. Lift the
specimen, including all associated loose materials, from the roof and place it in a plastic bag. Fully identify the specimen. Note
if the insulation is adhered to the specimen or, where insulation is not used, if bitumen is left on the deck, and the type of deck.
Estimate bitumen mass per unit area left on the deck.
4.2.1 Alternate Method:
4.2.1.1 Mark each sample as at least a square 356 mm (14 in.)[14 in.] on a side. Try to include a seam in each membrane sample.
During cold weather, use a square 457 mm (18 in.)[18 in.] on a side, since cold weather cutting may inadvertently break, distort
or delaminate the sample. If the roofing membrane is mechanically fastened, mark rectangular 864 by 457 mm (34[34 by 18 in.)in.]
sample, with the longer dimension perpendicular to the length of the ply felts. Half of these large samples can be shipped to the
laboratory for analysis after the number of fasteners in the larger area is recorded.
4.2.1.2 Carefully broom off the loose aggregate, and spud off the adhered aggregate and flood coating at the perimeter of the
sample. (The application of dry ice at the areas to be spudded will ease the removal of the top coating during hot weather. A large
propane torch can also be used as an alternate to the dry ice method, to melt the top coating so that it can be easily removed with
a scraper and facilitate cutting.) Record the length and width of the sample. If the quantities of unadhered surfacing or total
surfacing are desired, collect and package the unadhered surfacing from the sample area.
4.2.1.3 Cut through the roofing membrane with a razor knife or sharp power cutting tool, taking care not to damage the edge
of the sample. Do not pound on the sample, as this might cause interply delamination. Carefully loosen and remove the roofing
membrane including all adhered insulation. Observe and record the kind and degree of attachment between the roofing membrane
and the insulation or deck.

4.2.1.4 Cut through the roof insulation with a blade long enough to penetrate all of the insulation layers. Observe and record
the type and thickness of each insulation layer, and the percent of the sample area adhered between the layers and between the
insulation and the deck and vapor retarder.
4.2.1.5 Cut and remove a small specimen of the vapor retarder, if it is present, to observe its attachment to the deck and to obtain
a specimen for moisture content and analysis.
NOTE 2—This procedure will not provide as accurate a measure of total aggregate as the procedure described in 4.2.
4.3 If bituminous material has been absorbed by the insulation (4.2), remove sufficient insulation to allow laboratory analysis
of absorbed bitumen mass (weight).
4.4 If felt lapping is to be determined, take a separate specimen at least 100 mm (4 in.)[4 in.] wide and not less than 1.12 m
(44 in.)[44 in.] long, cut at right angles to the long dimension of the roofing felts.
4.5 Protect each specimen from physical damage such as bending or breakage of the felts or coating layers during removal and
transportation. Protect from moisture, excessive heat, and loss of material.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 This practice is for the sampling and analysis of existing built-up roof systems. For roofs under construction, use Practice
D3617D3617/D3617M.
6. Procedure
6.1 Preserve all identifications and log the specimens in the laboratory. Ensure continued identity and location of the
components within each specimen. Remove the insulation fully (if present), removing as little bituminous coating from the
underside of the membrane as possible.
6.2 Calculate the area of the specimen from eight different measurements taken in each direction. Weigh the specimen, including
all associated loose materials (except insulation), being careful to avoid loss of any component, and calculate the mass per unit
area. Dry the insulation removed in 4.3 to constant mass and record.
6.3 Place the specimen on aluminum foil or release paper and carefully scrape off the top surfacing (if any) and top coating
without damaging the top felt. Use heat only to produce the lowest temperature required to remove the coating.
2 2
NOTE 3—This will usually leave 200 to 400 g/m (4[4 to 8 lb/100 ft )] of bituminous material on the surface of the roofing felt.
6.3.1 Collect the surfacing and top coating, including any loose material taken with the specimen, and weigh.
6.3.2 Separate surfacing material from the surfacing-top coating mixture by solvent washing on an 850-μm (No. 20)[No. 20]
sieve.
NOTE 4—The recommended solvent for coal-tar pitch is carbon disulfide (CS ). Complete extraction of coal-tar pitch is not possible. Extraction with
carbon disulfide may result in a recovery error of coal-tar pitch in the range from 17 to 38 %.
6.3.2.1 Warning—Carbon disulfide is toxic when taken internally or when inhaled. Conduct the test in a hood, or other
well-ventilated location. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin and inhalation of vapors.
6.3.3 When all traces of bituminous materials have been removed, dry the surfacing retained on the sieve in an oven at 100°C
(212°F),[212°F], cool, and weigh. The approximate mass per unit area of the top coating is the difference between this mass and
the mass obtained in 6.3.1, divided by the specimen area obtained in 6.2.
6.4 Remove all bituminous material from the bottom of the membrane (see 6.3), then weigh the membrane. Separate the plies,
using a heat lamp as needed to achieve minimum temperature required for separation. Do not distort the felts (see 6.8 for an
alternative method of separating the plies).
6.4.1 Measure the individual felts and calculate the area of each ply (due to lapping, not all plies will be the size of the original
specimen). Follow the procedure in 6.2. Record the total area of all felts.
6.4.2 Divide the sum of all individual felt areas (6.4.1) by the area of the original specimen (6.2) and record the results as
“number of plies.”
6.5 Calculate the mass per unit area of the original saturated felts by multiplying the area of each ply determined in 6.4.1 by
2 2
the following values in g/m (lb/100[lb/100 ft )] and dividing by the specimen area determined in 6.2. Add the masses per unit
area for each felt, to find the total mass per unit area of the original saturated felts. If all plies are the same, simply multiply the
assumed felt mass per unit area by the number of plies (6.4.2). Use the manufacturer’s information for components not within the
2 2 2
scope of the specifications in Table 1, using the factor 48.825 to convert from lb/100 ft to g/m , and 0.02048 to convert from g/m
to lb/100 ft .
6.6 Calculate the total interply bituminous material per unit area by subtracting the total mass per unit area of the original
“saturated felts” determined in 6.5 from the mass per unit area determined by dividing the mass of felts and interply bitumen in
6.4 by the specimen size in 6.2.
