10、en prepared under the direction of the Elements and Components (of Diverse Materials) for Buildings Standards Committee. It supersedes BS988, BS1076, BS1097, BS1451:1973, which is withdrawn. This standard has been revised under a new BS number, however the original BS numbers, preceded by a letter,
11、are retained to classify the types of mastic asphalt. In revising this standard all requirements relating to flux oils have been deleted as they are no longer used. Appendix A gives guidance on the grades and thicknesses of mastic asphalt flooring recommended for a variety of applications. The recom
12、mendations relating to the on-site remelting of mastic asphalt, the addition of coarse aggregate to the heavy duty grade of flooring during remelting and the hardness numbers to be obtained on material at the time of laying, are given in Appendix B. Information on the mass per unit area of mastic as
13、phalt is given inAppendix C. The opportunity has been taken to update terminology, to adjust certain specification limits to take account of current practices, and to cross-refer to BS5284 in respect of sampling and testing procedures for mastic asphalt. Information regarding the methods of applicat
14、ion is given in the relevant British Standard Codes of Practice, viz: CP102, CP144-4 and CP204-2. Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of third party certification of product conformity with this British Standard based on testing and continui
15、ng surveillance, which may be coupled with assessment of a suppliers quality systems against the appropriate Part of BS5750. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification schemes may be forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certification Bodies. If a third party certification scheme
16、 does not already exist, users should consider approaching an appropriate body from the list of Association members. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a
17、British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 8, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendme
18、nts incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS6925:1988 BSI 09-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for roofing, tanking and flooring grades of mastic asphalt for building and civil engineering purposes, composed of ground limeston
19、e, coarse aggregate and pigment if required, incorporated with asphaltic cements. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 bitumen a viscous liquid
20、, or a solid, consisting essentially of hydrocarbons and their derivatives, which is soluble in carbon disulphide 1) ; and is substantially non-volatile and softens gradually when heated. It is black or brown in colour and possesses waterproofing and adhesive properties. It is obtained by refinery p
21、rocesses from petroleum, and is also found as a natural deposit or as a component of naturally occurring asphalt in which it is associated with mineral matter 2.2 asphaltite a naturally occurring substance allied to bitumen, substantially soluble in carbon disulphide 1)and characterized by a high so
22、ftening point 2.3 asphalt a mixture of bitumen with a substantial proportion of inert mineral matter NOTEThis term is normally qualified by the indication of the origin, e.g.natural rock asphalt, Trinidad Lake asphalt; or type, e.g.mastic asphalt, rolled asphalt. 2.4 refined lake asphalt a naturally
23、 occurring mixture of bitumen and finely divided mineral matter, which is found in well-defined surface deposits, and from which unwanted components such as water and vegetable matter have been removed 2.5 lake asphalt-bitumen mixture a homogeneous mixture of refined lake asphalt and bitumen, with o
24、r without the addition of flux oil, used in the manufacture of asphalts and other coated materials 2.6 asphaltic cement bitumen or a mixture of refined lake asphalt with bitumen and/or asphaltite having adhesive qualities suitable for the manufacture of mastic asphalt 2.7 limestone a naturally occur
25、ring consolidated stratified calcareous rock NOTEThe term is used here in a restricted geological sense. 2.8 pigment finely ground metallic oxide 2.9 mastic asphalt a type of asphalt composed of suitably graded mineral matter and asphaltic cement in such proportions as to form a coherent, voidless,
26、impermeable mass, solid or semi-solid under normal temperature conditions, but sufficiently fluid when brought to a suitable temperature to be spread by means of a hand float, or by mechanical means 3 Classification The types of mastic asphalt are classified as follows: R988: mastic asphalt for roof
27、ing (limestone aggregate); F1076: mastic asphalt for flooring (limestone aggregate); T1097: mastic asphalt for tanking and damp-proof courses (limestone aggregate); F1451: coloured mastic asphalt for flooring (limestone aggregate). Types F1076 and F1451 mastic asphalt for flooring are graded accordi
28、ng to usage as follows: grade I: special hard flooring; grade II: light duty flooring; grade III: medium duty flooring; grade IV: heavy duty flooring. NOTE 1Types F1076 and F1451 do not cover grades of mastic asphalt for special applications such as chemical resistant, oil resistant or spark free fl
29、ooring, for which purposes proprietary variants are available, nor are they suitable for external applications such as loading bays, balconies and rooftop car parks for which paving grade mastic asphalt is specified in BS1446 and BS1447. NOTE 2A guide to the selection of the appropriate grade of flo
30、oring is given in Appendix A. 1) The internationally agreed definition of bitumen relates to its solubility in carbon disulphide but in the UK trichloroethylene is used as the test solvent as it is safer than carbon disulphide and has the same solvent power for all practical purposes.BS6925:1988 2 B

The asphaltic cement for type T1097 shall consist o
32、f bitumen or a mixture containing bitumen and255% of refined lake asphalt according to the grade specified and its properties shall be as given in Table 1. The asphaltic cement for grade I of types F1076 and F1451 shall consist of a mixture containing bitumen and15 5% refined lake asphalt; and its p
33、roperties shall be as given in Table 2. The asphaltic cement for grades II, III and IV of types F1076 and F1451 shall consist of bitumen or a mixture containing bitumen and25 5% refined lake asphalt according to the grade specified; and its properties shall be as given in Table 2. NOTEThe refined la
34、ke asphalt content is controlled and determined by the solubility in trichloroethylene and ash content tolerances specified for the asphaltic cement.
