1.1These test methods2 cover the determination of the properties of flexible membranes to be used as vapor retarders in contact with earth under concrete slabs, against walls, or as ground cover in crawl spaces. The test methods are applicable primarily to plastic films and other flexible sheets. The materials are not intended to be subjected to sustained hydrostatic pressure. The procedures simulate conditions to which vapor retarders may be subjected prior to and during installation, and in service.
1.2The test methods included are:
| Section | |
| Water-Vapor Transmission of Material as Received | |
| Water-Vapor Transmission after Wetting and Drying and after Long- | |
| Tensile Strength | |
| Resistance to Puncture | |
| Resistance to Plastic Flow and Elevated Temperature | |
| Effect of Low Temperatures on Flexibility | |
| Resistance to Deterioration from Organisms and Substances in Con- | |
| Resistance to Deterioration from Petroleum Vehicles for Soil Poisons | |
| Resistance to Deterioration from Exposure to Ultraviolet Light | |
| Resistance to Flame Spread | |

1.3The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
