ASTM D6162/D6162M-16 PDF Download

The ASTM D6162/D6162M-16 standard is a specification that covers prefabricated bituminous sheet materials, specifically those reinforced with a combination of polyester fabric and glass fiber, which are modified by the use of styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) thermoplastic elastomer. These materials are primarily intended for use in the fabrication of multiple ply roofing and waterproofing membranes.

It is important to note that this specification is solely focused on the material itself and does not address issues related to the suitability of specific roof constructions or application techniques. The standard 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 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, tear strength, low temperature flexibility, dimensional stability, compound stability, and granule embedment.
