A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.e1NOTEAsbestos warning editorially added in February 2005.1. Scope1.1
3、This specification covers asbestos-cement siding, in-cluding accessories, designed to provide the weather-exposedsidewall surfaces of buildings. Siding in the following forms iscovered:1.1.1 Siding ShinglesUniform thickness, generally rectan-gular in shape and having wavy, random, thatched, straight
4、, orirregular butts.1.1.2 ClapboardsUniform thickness, generally longer andnarrower in shape than siding shingles, and usually with theexposed edge straight.1.1.3 SheetsUniform thickness, rectangular in shape,larger in unit sizes than shingles or clapboards.NOTE 1For additional information, see Spec
5、ification C 725 for Semi-dense Mineral Fiber Siding.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for user
6、s and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results. For informa-tion on the safe use of chrysotile asbestos, refer to “Safe Use ofChrysotile: A Manual on Preventive and Control Measures.”22. Re

Siding units of one half normal len
16、gth may besupplied in an amount not exceeding two per bundle. Fifteenpercent of the clapboard units may be supplied shorter than thestandard length in multiples of 406 mm (16 in.).4.3 ThicknessThe average thickness of all units suppliedunder this specification shall be as shown in Table 1, and theav
17、erage thickness of any one unit shall not be less than theaverage of all units within the shipment by more than 10 %.For textured siding, the thickness shall be construed as thegross over-all measurement from the top of the textured surfaceto the back of the unit.4.4 Width and LengthThe permissible
18、variation from thenominal width or length shall be 3.2 mm (618 in.), asmeasured after 48 h at 23C (73F) and 50 % relative humidity.5. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance5.1 WorkmanshipThe surface of the siding to be exposedshall be free of defects that impair appearance or serviceability.5.2 FinishT
19、he exposed surface of the siding may besmooth, grained, granuled, coated, or otherwise textured.5.3 ColorThe exposed surface of the siding may benatural color of the asbestos-cement product or may be coloredby the addition of mineral pigments, chemical impregnation,pigmented coatings, veneers, or em
20、bedded mineral granules.5.4 Holes for Nails and FastenersUnless otherwise speci-fied for special application methods, holes for nails andfasteners shall be provided and shall be so placed as to satisfythe top lap requirements given in Table 2.5.5 EfflorescenceEfflorescence that sometimes may ap-pear
21、 on asbestos-cement siding is not a defect and should notresult in a permanent change in color.6. Nails and Fasteners6.1 Face nails shall have small, flat heads with shanks sizedto enter the face nail holes provided in the units. They shall belong enough to hold the siding units securely to a wood l
22、umbernailing base, and be of nonstaining, corrosion-resistant mate-rial. Face nails shall be furnished with the siding by themanufacturer.6.2 Special fasteners for attaching siding units to other thana wood lumber nailing base must be purchased separately andare not furnished with the siding. Fasten
23、ers of this type shall beof the nonstaining corrosion-resistant type.6.3 Baker strips in sufficient quantity and proper size forflashing the vertical joining between siding units shall befurnished by the manufacturer with the siding. These stripsshould be made of an asphalt-(not coal tar-)saturated
24、andcoated material. Joint flashing materials are not furnished withsheets used for siding and must be purchased separately.7. Underlayment Sheet7.1 Underlayment sheet material for use in the applicationof asbestos-cement siding is not furnished, but must bepurchased separately.7.2 Asphalt-saturated
25、felt is suitable for underlayment use.Coal tar-saturated felt is not suitable. The felt shall weigh notless than 63.5 kg/100 m2(13 lb/100 ft2). Underlayment sheetmaterial for use with asbestos-cement siding shall be water-resistant and of the “breather” type, permeable to water vapor.8. Composition
26、Requirements8.1 Asbestos-cement siding shall be composed of a combi-nation of asbestos fiber and portland cement or portlandblast-furnace slag cement, and not more than 1 weight % oforganic fiber, (as determined by Test Methods C 458 orC 1096), with or without the addition of curing agents, water-re
27、pellent substances, mineral fillers, coatings, pigments, ormineral granules, formed under pressure and cured to meet thephysical requirements of this specification.9. Rejection and Retesting9.1 If the sample fails to conform to any one of therequirements of this specification, a second sample from t
28、hesame lot shall be prepared and tested. The results of the retestshall be averaged with the results of the original test todetermine compliance with this specification.9.2 Failure to conform to any one of the requirements of thisspecification, upon retest as prescribed above, shall constituteground
29、s for rejection. In case of rejection, the seller shall havethe right to reinspect the rejected shipment and resubmit the lotafter removal of the portion of the shipment not conforming tothe specified requirements, provided this is done within 20days after receipt of notice of the specific cause for
30、 rejection.10. Inspection10.1 Inspection of material shall be made at the point ofshipment. The inspector representing the purchaser shall havefree access to the carriers being loaded for shipment to thepurchaser. He shall be afforded all reasonable and availablefacilities at the point of shipment f
31、or sampling and inspectionof the material, which shall be so conducted as not to interfereunnecessarily with the loading of the carriers.TABLE 1 Typical Dimensions of Asbestos-Cement Sidingmm (in.)Type Width Minimum Top LapASiding shingles 200 to 405(8 to 16)610 to 1220(24to48)25 (1)Clapboards 200 t
