ASTM D6164/D6164M-16 PDF Download

The ASTM D6164/D6164M-16 standard is a specification that covers prefabricated bituminous sheet materials modified with styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) thermoplastic elastomer and reinforced with polyester fabric. These materials are primarily used for the fabrication of multiple ply roofing and waterproofing membranes.

The standard outlines various requirements that the sheet materials must meet. These include dimensional requirements such as thickness and net mass per unit area, as well as physical requirements such as peak load before and after heat conditioning, elongation at peak load, tear strength, low-temperature flexibility, dimensional stability, compound stability, and granule embedment.

It is important to note that this specification is focused solely on the material itself and not on issues related to the suitability of specific roof constructions or application techniques. Additionally, the standard establishes minimum properties for the sheet materials and does not address in-place roof system design criteria, such as fire resistance, field strength, impact/puncture resistance, material compatibility, and uplift resistance.
