ASTM D 4551 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Plastic Flexible Concealed Water-Containment Membrane
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 10, 1996
Scope:
This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) flexible
sheeting which is used without mastic, bedding, or coating for
construction of concealed water-containment-membranes in
applications where there is potential for costly secondary damage
from water leakage and very long-term reliable performance is
essential. Examples are fountains, pools, planters, shower and safe
pans, tile tubs, or similar wet installations where the membrane is
inaccessible once the construction is complete. Included are
requirements for materials and sheeting, test methods, workmanship
criteria, and methods of marking.
Recycled materials may be used in this product in accordance
with the requirements in Section 5.
The tests are intended to ensure quality and performance and are
not intended for design purposes. Tests have been selected to be
conducted primarily with liquids that simulate the environment to
which the membrane will be subjected during actual use.
This specification does not cover water-containment membranes
exposed to ultraviolet light.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are for information
only.
There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test
method portion, Section 13, of this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
