1、Designation: D5683/D5683M 95 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forFlexibility of Roofing and Waterproofing Materials andMembranes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5683/D5683M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the c
2、ase of revision, the 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 test method measures the flexibility of roofing orwaterproofing sheet materials or m
3、embranes by bending thetest material over a block containing arcs of specific radii at astandard temperature.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shal

Summary of Test Method4.1 Bend the five specimens of roofing or waterproofingsheet materials or membrane, conditioned at 4.4C 40F, (seeNote 1), over a block (see Fig. 1) designed to provide arcs ofequal length with 6-mm 14-in., 13-mm 12-in., 19-mm34-in., and
7、25-mm 1-in. radii, and the smallest radius isreported where cracking is not observed in any specimen.NOTE 1Other test temperatures may be used in addition to the testsrequired at 4.4C 40F, and refrigerated conditioning chambers may beused instead of the water bath specified. Follow procedures outlin
8、ed inSection 8, if refrigerated chamber is utilized; however, the plastic bag maybe omitted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to aid those interested inthe engineering properties of roofing and waterproofing sheetmaterials and membranes.5.2 This test method enables a researcher
9、 to measure therelative flexibility of roofing and waterproofing sheet materialsand membranes under standard conditions in the laboratory.5.3 The data obtained from this test method will not permitprediction of the service life of a membrane. Membraneflexibility is important during application, and
10、changes inflexibility are believed to be linked to the performance ofroofing and waterproofing membranes, but the actual linkbetween test data and performance is unknown and is depen-dent on the materials and exposure.6.
