2、ion or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers flexible chlorinated polyethyl-ene (CPE) sheet
3、ing which is used without mastic, bedding, orcoating for construction of concealed water-containment mem-branes in applications where there is potential for costlysecondary damage from leakage, and where very long-termreliable performance is essential. Examples are fountains,pools, planters, shower
4、and safe pans, tile tubs, and similarinstallations where the membrane is inaccessible once con-struction is complete. Included are requirements forcomposition, strength and toughness, test methods, workman-ship criteria, and methods of marking.1.2 Manufacturers have the option to use recycled materi
5、alsin this product. Recycled materials must be in accordance withthe requirements in Section 4.1.3 The test methods used to characterize the sheeting areintended to ensure quality and performance and are notnecessarily adequate for design purposes. Test methods havebeen selected to be conducted prim
6、arily with liquids thatsimulate the environments to which the membrane will besubjected during actual installation and use.1.4 This specification does not cover water-containmentmembranes exposed in use to ultraviolet light or direct sun-light.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be rega
