1、Designation:D5076/D5076M13Standard Test Method forMeasuring Voids in Roofing and Waterproofing Membranes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5076/D5076M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of las
2、t 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 includes two procedures for measuringthe area of voids in the adhesive between materials used inroofing and w
3、aterproofing systems.Both procedures require acount of the number of voids.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 shall be used independently of the other.
4、Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and de
