Designation:D228/D228M15Standard Test Methods forSampling,Testing,and Analysis of Asphalt Roll Roofing,Cap Sheets,and Shingles Used in Roofing andWaterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D228/D228M;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 These test methods cover procedures for sampling,examination,physical testing,and analyses of asphalt-containing materials used in roofing and waterproofing.Thesematerials include but are not limited to roll roofing,cap sheets,and shingles.Any of these materials are allowed to be partiallyor fully coated,surfaced,or laminated,or a combinationthereof.1.2 The test methods and procedures in this standard appearin the following order:SectionContent6Types of Roofing7Sampling8Mass and Area Determination9Selection of Representative Specimens10Moisture11Pliability12Mass Loss and Behavior on Heating13Tear Strength14Fastener Pull-Through Resistance15Preparation and Selection of Small Test Specimensfor Analyses16Analysis of Glass Felt Products17Analysis of Roofing Products with Organic Felts18Ash of Desaturated Felt19Calculation20Adjusting Back Coating Fine Mineral Matter andBack Surfacing21Report22Precision and Bias1.3 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 non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD146 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Bitumen-Saturated Felts and Woven Fabrics for Roofing andWaterproofingD225 Specification for Asphalt Shingles(Organic Felt)Sur-faced With Mineral Granules(Withdrawn 2012)3D1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD1922 Test Method for Propagation Tear Resistance ofPlastic Film and Thin Sheeting by Pendulum MethodD2178 Specification for Asphalt Glass Felt Used in Roofingand WaterproofingD2626 Specification for Asphalt-Saturated and Coated Or-ganic Felt Base Sheet Used in RoofingD3462 Specification for Asphalt Shingles Made from GlassFelt and Surfaced with Mineral GranulesD3909 Specification for Asphalt Roll Roofing(Glass Felt)Surfaced With Mineral GranulesD4601 Specification for Asphalt-Coated Glass Fiber BaseSheet Used in RoofingD4897 Specification forAsphalt-Coated Glass-Fiber VentingBase Sheet Used in RoofingD4932 Test Method for Fastener Rupture and Tear Resis-tance of Roofing and Waterproofing Sheets,Roll Roofing,and ShinglesD6380 Specification forAsphalt Roll Roofing(Organic Felt)F1667 Specification for Driven Fasteners:Nails,Spikes,andStaples1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and are the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD08.02 on Steep Roofing Products and Assemblies.Current edition approved May 1,2015.Published May 2015.Originallyapproved in 1925.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D228/D228M 09(2014).DOI:10.1520/D0228_D0228M-15.2For 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 States1 3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in these test methods,seeTerminology D1079.3.1.2 As referenced in 15.1,“Materials of Uniform Compo-sition”designates products that are manufactured to be thesame thickness,ply count,and mass per unit area in all areasof the material.This would include traditional mineral surfacedrolls,“3 Tab”shingles,and other shingles that have areas ofmaterial removed for appearance purposes(cut-outs)but therest of the shingle is of uniform composition.See Fig.1,Type1 or Type 2.3.1.3 As referenced in 15.2,“Materials of NonuniformComposition”designates products that are intentionally manu-factured to have different thickness or mass per unit area withindifferent areas of the product.Examples of materials ofnonuniform composition are selvage edge rolls and overlaid orembossed shingles(where not all of the product has the samethickness).See Fig.1,Type 3.3.1.4
