(Specification)Standard Specification for Vulcanized Rubber Sheets Used in Waterproofing Systems
Standard Specification for Vulcanized Rubber Sheets Used in Waterproofing Systems
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers unreinforced vulcanized rubber sheets made from ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) or butyl (IIR), intended for use in preventing water under hydrostatic pressure from entering a structure.
1.2 The tests and property limits used to characterize these sheets are specific for each classification and are minimum values to make the product fit for its intended purpose.
