Standard Test Method for Hydrostatic Pressure Resistance of Waterproofing Membranes
Also Known As:
The ASTM D5385/D5385M-20 standard is a test method that evaluates the hydrostatic pressure resistance of waterproofing membranes. The purpose of this test is to determine the ability of a membrane to resist the penetration of water under controlled laboratory conditions.
The standard emphasizes that the test method is specifically designed to compare the hydrostatic resistance of different waterproofing membranes. It is important to note, however, that no correlation has been established between the performance of a membrane in this laboratory test and its performance in actual field conditions.
The standard also clarifies that this test method is not suitable for evaluating systems that rely on the confinement of seams by backfill, as the presence of backfill is not taken into account in this test method.
