Designation:D6134/D6134M07(Reapproved 2019)1Standard Specification forVulcanized Rubber Sheets Used in Waterproofing Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6134/D6134M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in November 2019.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers unreinforced vulcanized rub-ber sheets made from ethylene propylene diene terpolymer(EPDM)or butyl(IIR),intended for use in preventing waterunder hydrostatic pressure from entering a structure.1.2 The tests and property limits used to characterize thesesheets are specific for each classification and are minimumvalues to make the product fit for its intended purpose.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D412 Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplas-tic ElastomersTensionD471 Test Method for Rubber PropertyEffect of LiquidsD573 Test Method for RubberDeterioration in an AirOvenD624 Test Method for Tear Strength of Conventional Vul-canized Rubber and Thermoplastic ElastomersD746 Test Method for Brittleness Temperature of Plasticsand Elastomers by ImpactD816 Test Methods for Rubber CementsD1204 Test Method for Linear Dimensional Changes ofNonrigid Thermoplastic Sheeting or Film at ElevatedTemperatureD2240 Test Method for Rubber PropertyDurometer Hard-nessD3083 Specification for Flexible Poly(Vinyl Chloride)Plas-tic Sheeting for Pond,Canal,and Reservoir Lining(With-drawn 1998)3E96/E96M Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission ofMaterialsE154/E154M Test Methods for Water Vapor Retarders Usedin Contact with Earth Under Concrete Slabs,on Walls,oras Ground Cover3.Classification3.1 Types used to identify the principal polymer componentof the sheet include:Type I:Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer(EPDM),andType II:Butyl(IIR)3.2 The mass percentage of the principal polymer in relationto the total polymer shall be greater than 95%.4.Materials and Manufacture4.1 The sheet shall be formulated from the appropriatepolymers and other compounding ingredients.The principalpolymer used in the sheet shall be one of those listed in 3.1 inaccordance with the percentage listed in 3.2.4.2 The sheet shall be capable of being bonded to itself formaking field splices and repairs,and the manufacturer shallrecommend bonding methods and materials.5.Physical Requirements5.1 The sheet shall conform to the physical requirementsprescribed in Table 1.Other requirements shall be agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the supplier.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.18on Nonbituminous Organic Roof Coverings.Current edition approved Nov.1,2019.Published November 2019.Originallyapproved in 1997.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D6134 07(2013).DOI:10.1520/D6134_D6134M-07R19E01.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 6.Dimensions and Permissible Variations6.1 The width and length of the sheet shall be agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the supplier.The width and lengthtolerance shall be+3,0%.6.2 Sheet thickness greater than the minimum shall beagreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier.Thethickness tolerance shall be+15,10%of the specifiedthickness,but in no case shall the thickness be less than theminimum listed in Table 1.7.Workmanship,Finish,and Appearance7.1 The sheet shall be watertight and visually free ofpinholes,particles o
