Designation:D449/D449M03(Reapproved 2021)Standard Specification forAsphalt Used in Dampproofing and Waterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D449/D449M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers three types of asphalt suitablefor use as a mopping coat in dampproofing;or as a plying ormopping cement in the construction of membrane waterproof-ing systems with felts in accordance with Specification D226/D226M;fabrics in accordance with Specification D173/D173MorD1668/D1668M(asphalttypes);asphalt-impregnated glass mat in accordance with SpecificationD2178/D2178M;and with primer in accordance with Specifi-cation D41/D41M.1.2 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 should be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.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:2D5/D5M Test Method for Penetration of Bituminous Mate-rialsD36/D36M Test Method for Softening Point of Bitumen(Ring-and-Ball Apparatus)D41/D41M Specification for Asphalt Primer Used inRoofing,Dampproofing,and WaterproofingD92 Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by ClevelandOpen Cup TesterD113 Test Method for Ductility of Asphalt MaterialsD140/D140M Practice for Sampling Asphalt MaterialsD173/D173M Specification for Bitumen-Saturated CottonFabrics Used in Roofing and WaterproofingD226/D226M Specification for Asphalt-Saturated OrganicFelt Used in Roofing and WaterproofingD1668/D1668M Specification for Glass Fabrics(Woven andTreated)for Roofing and WaterproofingD2042 Test Method for Solubility of Asphalt Materials inTrichloroethyleneD2178/D2178M Specification forAsphalt Glass Felt Used inRoofing and WaterproofingD3461 Test Method for Softening Point ofAsphalt and Pitch(Mettler Cup-and-Ball Method)3.Classification3.1 Asphalts covered by this specification include threetypes:3.1.1 Type IA soft,adhesive,“self-healing”asphalt thatflows easily under the mop and is suitable for use below gradeunder uniformly moderate temperature conditions both duringthe process of installation and during service.NOTE1Type I asphalt is suitable for foundations,tunnels,subways,and so forth.3.1.2 Type IIA somewhat less susceptible asphalt thanType I,with good adhesive and“self-healing”properties,suitable for use above grade where it will not be exposed totemperatures exceeding 50 C 122 F.NOTE2Type II asphalt is suitable for railroad bridges,culverts,retaining walls,tanks,dams,conduits,spray decks,and so forth.3.1.3 Type IIIAn asphalt less susceptible to temperaturethan Type II,with good adhesive properties,and suitable foruse above grade on vertical surfaces exposed to direct sunlightor temperatures above 50 C 122 F.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.03on Surfacing and Bituminous Materials for Membrane Waterproofing and Built-upRoofing.Current edition approved Jan.1,2021.Published January 2021.Originallyapproved in 1937.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D449/D449M 03(2014)1.DOI:10.1520/D0449_D0449M-03R21.2For 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.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.14.Materials and Manufacture4.1 The asphalt shall be prepared from crude petroleum bysuitable refining processes to conform to the applicable physi-cal requirements for each type.5.Physical Requirements
