1、Designation: D6878/D6878M 13D6878/D6878M 17Standard 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

2、 year of last revision. 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 from thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) as the principal polymer, i

3、ntended for usein single-ply roofing membranes exposed to the weather. The sheet shall contain reinforcing fabrics or scrims.1.2 The tests and property limits used to characterize the sheet are values intended to ensure minimum quality for the intendedpurpose. In-place roof system design criteria, s

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

5、e 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 standard.1.4 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standar

6、d does not purport to address allof the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriatesafety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.1.5 This international standard
