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

1.2The test methods appear in the following order:

	Section
Sampling	4
Uniformity	5
Weight per gallon	6
Nonvolatile content	7
Solubility	8
Ash content	9
Water content	10
Consistency	11
Behavior at 60°C [140°F]	12
Pliability at –0°C [32°F]	13
Aluminum content	14
Reflectance of aluminum roof coatings	15
Strength of laps of rolled roofing adhered with roof adhesive	16
Adhesion to damp, wet, or underwater surfaces	17
Mineral stabilizers and bitumen	18
Mineral matter	19
Volatile organic content	20

1.3The 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.

1.4This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
