1、Designation: D 2523 00 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Practice forTesting Load-Strain Properties of Roofing Membranes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2523; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o

2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice is a guide for determining the load-strainproperties of roofing membranes and their components atvari

3、ous temperatures. Test specimens may be prepared in thelaboratory or cut from samples obtained in the field.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thes

4、afety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 roofing membranethat part of the roofing

6、systemwhose primary function is to exclude water; it does not includefield-applied aggregate.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is designed to aid those interested in theengineering properties of roofing membranes.4.2 The data obtained will not permit prediction of theservice life of a membran

7、e under field conditions. The data willprovide a basis for study of the mechanical properties of themembrane. Note that if strain rates, specimen dimensions,initial clear distance between clamps, or temperatures andmoisture contents are varied, the data may not be strictlycomparable.5. Sampling5.1 T

8、ake field membrane sample at least 100 by 250 mm (4by 10 in.) in accordance with good roofing practices. In caseswhere field-applied aggregate is in place, remove it with ascraper such as a heated putty knife.5.1.1 Sample those areas of the membrane that are expectedto represent the extremes in load

9、/strain characteristics.5.1.2 At least one sample is required for each test tempera-ture at which it is desired to determine load/strain properties.5.2 Prepare laboratory samples at least 100 by 250 mm (4by 10 in.) in strict accordance with the roofing specificationbeing tested. Observe all cautions

10、 specified, such as notoverheating the bitumen. Do not oven condition any of thecomponents or the final sample.5.2.1 Select those areas of the membrane that are expectedto represent the extremes in load-strain characteristics. Prepareat least one sample of each type for each proposed testtemperature

11、. If there is any doubt about these areas, include allpossible variations. The samples must be uniform in crosssection.5.2.2 Select materials at random when possible. Compo-nents should be conditioned at 50 6 5 % relative humidity and25 6 2.5C (77 6 4.5F) for 24 h prior to constructingsamples.5.2.3

12、The quantity of material in any layer should be within610 %, and the entire sample should be within 65 % of thequantities specified.6. Test Specimens6.1 Condition the samples at room temperature at 50 6 5%relative humidity for a minimum of 16 h for non-solvent-containing membranes, and until constan

13、t mass has beenreached for solvent-containing membranes.6.2 Die-cut three tension test specimens from each sample.The shape of the specimens for membranes with less than 50 %ultimate elongation is shown in Fig. 1.

If any sample is too small topermit the removal of three specimens, more than one sampleof that type must be prepared or obtained in the

17、 field to yieldthe required three specimens.7. Procedure7.1 Condition each specimen at least1hattheselected testtemperature.7.2 Control the following standard test temperatures to atolerance of 62.5C (4.5F): 18C (0F), 0C (32F), and25C (77F). Recommended additional test temperatures,where appropriate

18、, are: 34.4C ( 30F), 50C (122F) and70C (158F).7.3 Use a tension testing machine, preferably with auto-matic load and strain recording equipment, and clamps thatpermit a uniform clamping pressure on the specimen withoutslipping. The clamps should be 178 6 5mm(76 0.2 in.) apartat the start of the test

19、.7.4 Maintain a rate of elongation of 1.0 6 0.3 %/min forbituminous membranes or other materials having under 50 %ultimate elongation. This rate will be achieved if the jaws areseparated at 1.3 mm/min (0.05 in./min).7.5 Use a rate of elongation of 500 mm/min (20 in./min) formembranes whose ultimate

20、elongation exceeds 50 %.7.6 Measure the elongation of dumbbell specimens as thechange in distance between reference marks on the constrictedarea of the specimen (see Fig. 1). Discard all specimensbreaking outside the reference marks.7.7 Test a minimum of three specimens from each sample ateach selec

21、ted temperature.7.8 Measure the moisture content of broken bituminousmembrane specimens in accordance with Test Method D95.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the strain by the following equation:s 5 100c 2 c0!/c0(1)where:s = specimen strain, %,c0= distance between reference marks before applicationof load,

22、 andc = distance between reference marks at a given load.8.2 Calculate the load/strain modulus by dividing one halfthe maximum load per unit specimen width by the strain at thatload in consistent units. Due to the difficulty of measuring thethickness of roofing membranes, and their nonhomogeneity,lo

23、ads should be reported in force per unit specimen width.9. Report9.1 Report the following information:9.1.1 Source and type of all components of the membrane,9.1.2 Specification for the membrane tested,9.1.3 Details of sample construction, including componentorientation and dimensions, specimen shap

24、e, test temperature,rate of strain, number of specimens tested, and moisturecontent,9.1.4 Strain corresponding to each increase in load of 1.75kN/m (10.0 lbf/in.) for each specimen,9.1.5 Load and strain at failure for each specimen,9.1.6 Load - strain diagram and modulus for each specimen,and9.1.7 C

25、ompute and report the average of all tests onspecimens from each sample at each temperature. Disregardindividual values exceeding the 5 % level of significance asdefined and computed in Practice E 178, and compute a newaverage without them. The new average must be based on notless than three tests,

26、and preferably more. Comment on anyobservable factors which may have contributed to large differ-ences from the average.10.
