ASTM D6162/D6162M-21 PDF Download

The ASTM D6162/D6162M-21 standard specifies the requirements for prefabricated bituminous sheet materials that are reinforced with a combination of polyester fabric and glass fiber. These materials are modified with styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) thermoplastic elastomer and are used in the fabrication of multiple ply roofing and waterproofing membranes.

The standard focuses on the material specifications only and does not address issues related to specific roof constructions or application techniques. It also does not cover in-place roof system design criteria such as fire resistance, field strength, impact/puncture resistance, material compatibility, and uplift resistance.

The standard establishes minimum properties for the sheet materials through specified tests and property limits. These properties include dimensional and physical properties such as total and bottom coating thickness, net mass per unit area, peak load before and after heat conditioning, elongation at peak load, ultimate elongation, tear strength, low temperature flexibility, dimensional stability, compound stability, and granule embedment.
