3、xible sheet made from ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) intended for use insingle-ply roofing membranes exposed to the weather. The tests and property limits used to characterize the sheet are values toensure minimum quality for the intended use. The sheet may be non-reinforced, fabric- or

4、scrim-reinforced, or fabric-backedvulcanized rubber sheet.1.2 In-place roof system design criteria, such as fire resistance, field seaming strength, material compatibility, and upliftresistance, among others, are factors that must be considered but are beyond the scope of this specification.1.3 The

5、values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the s
