Standard Test Method for Adhesion of Mineral Aggregate to Hot Bitumen
Also Known As:
The ASTM D5100/D5100M-95a (R2018) standard provides a laboratory method for determining and recording the mass of mineral aggregate that adheres to a bituminous pour coat on a roof membrane. The adhesion of mineral aggregate to hot bitumen is important for the performance of bituminous membranes on roofs, as the aggregate acts as a shield against solar radiation and helps to protect the bitumen.
The standard acknowledges that the quantities of mineral aggregate adhered to the surface of a roof can vary based on the characteristics and total amount of the aggregate. Unadhered aggregate can be displaced by wind, water, and traffic, which can expose the underlying bitumen. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the adhesion of the aggregate to ensure proper performance of the roof.
