1.1 These test methods cover procedures for sampling and testing solvent bearing bituminous compounds for use in roofing and waterproofing.

1.2 The test methods appear in the following order:

Section Sampling4 Uniformity5 Weight per gallon6 Nonvolatile content7 Solubility8 Ash content9 Water content10 Consistency11 Behavior at 60°C [140°F]12 Pliability at –0°C [32°F]13 Aluminum content14 Reflectance of aluminum roof coatings15 Strength of laps of rolled roofing adhered with roof adhesive16 Adhesion to damp, wet, or underwater surfaces17 Mineral stabilizers and bitumen18 Mineral matter19 Volatile organic content20

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
