1、Designation: D6878/D6878M 13Standard Specification forThermoplastic Polyolefin Based Sheet Roofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6878/D6878M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r

2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers flexible sheet made fromthermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) as the principal polymer,intended for use i

3、n single-ply roofing membranes exposed tothe weather. The sheet shall contain reinforcing fabrics orscrims.1.2 The tests and property limits used to characterize thesheet are values intended to ensure minimum quality for theintended purpose. In-place roof system design criteria, such asfire resistan

4、ce, field seaming strength, material compatibility,and uplift resistance, among others, are factors which should beconsidered but are beyond the scope of this specification.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach

5、 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 may involve hazardous materials,operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport toaddr

6、ess all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with itsuse. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.

11、tight fieldsplices and repairs, and the supplier or fabricator shall recom-mend suitable methods and materials.3.3 Sheet shall be reinforced with fabric or scrim.4. Physical Properties and Tolerances4.1 Each sheet specimen shall meet or exceed the physicalrequirements prescribed in Table 1.4.2 The t

12、olerance for time conditions (aging, weathering,and so forth) is 615 min or 61 % of the period, whichever isgreater, unless otherwise specified.4.3 The tolerance for temperature conditions (aging,weathering, and so forth) is 62C 64F of the specifiedtemperature, unless otherwise specified.5.
