Test for Downtime of Joints Made of ASTM D5405 Organic Roofing Membrane Material

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D5405 testing. This standard covers the laboratory determination of the breaking time (creep-rupture) of joints produced from non-bituminous organic roofing membrane material.

The test method covers both T-peel and lap shear joints subjected to constant tensile loads under controlled environmental conditions. Joints made of non-reinforced or fabric-reinforced membrane material are prepared in the laboratory or samples are taken from the roofs in the service.

Sheet materials from which connections are made include vulcanized rubbers, uncured polymeric sheets and thermoplastics. Bonding methods for joint formation include the use of liquid-based adhesives, preformed tapes, and thermal and solvent welding processes.

Values ​​stated in inch-pound units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​given in parentheses are for information purposes only.

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