Designation:D146/D146M04(Reapproved 2012)1Standard Test Methods forSampling and Testing Bitumen-Saturated Felts and WovenFabrics for Roofing and Waterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D146/D146M;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in June 2012.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover the sampling and examinationof felts or woven fabrics,saturated or impregnated but notcoated with asphaltic or coal-tar materials,for use in water-proofing or for the construction of built-up roof coverings.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 shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith 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 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Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD645/D645M Test Method for Thickness of Paper andPaperboard(Withdrawn 2010)3D828 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Paper andPaperboard Using Constant-Rate-of-ElongationApparatus(Withdrawn 2009)3D1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD1682 Test Method for Breaking Load and Elongation ofTextile Fabric(Withdrawn 1992)3D1910 Methods of Test for Construction Characteristics ofWoven Fabrics;Replaced by D 3773,D 3774,D 3775,D 3776,D 3882,D 3883(Withdrawn 1981)3D4072 Test Method for Toluene-Insoluble(TI)Content ofTar and PitchD4312 Test Method for Toluene-Insoluble(TI)Content ofTar and Pitch(Short Method)3.Sampling3.1 From each shipment of the specified saturated felt orfabric,select at random a number of rolls equal to one half thecube root of the total number of rolls in the lot.If thespecification requires sampling during manufacture,considerthe lot to be the planned production quantity and select the rollsat uniformly spaced time intervals throughout the productionperiod.The minimum sample shall consist of five rolls.If thecalculated number is fractional,express it as the next highestwhole number.For convenience,the following table,showingthe number of rolls to be selected from lots of various sizes,isgiven:1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and are the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD08.04 on Felts,Fabrics and Bituminous Sheet Materials.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published June 2012.Originallyapproved in 1922.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D146 04.DOI:10.1520/D0146_D0146M-04R12E01.2For 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 Number of Rolls in ShipmentNumber of Rolls in SampleUp to1 00051 001 to1 72861 729 to2 74472 745 to4 09684 097 to5 83295 833 to8 000108 001 to 10 6481110 649 to 13 8421213 843 to 17 5761317 577 to 21 95214The rolls so selected constitute the representative sampleused for all subsequent observations and tests pertaining to thelot of material being examined.Identify each individual roll.EXAMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE4.Gross Mass per Roll4.1 Weigh each roll,intact,to the nearest 100 g 14lb,andrecord each weight as the gross mass of that roll.5.Mass of Wrapping Material and Mandrel(Core)5.1 Strip each roll of its wrappings and weigh it to thenearest 100 g 14lb.If mandrels(cores)are used,collect themafter the rolls are unwound and weigh them together,to thenearest 100 g 14lb.Calculate the average mass of thewrappings and mandrels per roll and record.6.Mandrels(Cores)6.1 Determine the shape of the cross section of the mandrels(cores)and report.If circular,measure the outside diameter tothe nearest 1 mm 132in.If square,measure each outside edgeto the nearest 1 mm 132in.Measure and report the length ofthe mandrel projecting beyond each end of each roll to thenearest 5 mm 316in.7.Net Mass7.1 Subtract the average mass of the wrappings and man-drels(Section 5)from the gross mass of each roll(Section 4)and record as the
