1.1 This specification covers woven cotton fabrics saturated with either asphalt or coal-tar pitch intended to be used with asphalts conforming to Specifications D 312 or D 449, coal-tar pitches conforming to Specification D 450, or appropriate solvent bearing bituminous materials in the construction of roofing and waterproofing systems.

1.1.1 Asphalt-saturated cotton fabric shall be used with asphalt base plying cement; typical ones are mopping asphalts conforming to Specifications D 312 or D 449 or appropriate solvent bearing asphaltic compounds.

1.1.2 Coal-tar-saturated cotton fabric shall be used with coal-tar based plying cements; a typical one is coal-tar pitch conforming to Specification D 450 or appropriate solvent bearing coal-tar compounds.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.


This specification covers woven cotton fabrics saturated with either asphalt or coal-tar intended for use with asphalt based plying cement (such as mopping asphalts or appropriate solvent bearing asphaltic compounds), coal-tar based plying cement (such as coal-tar pitch or other appropriate solvent bearing coal-tar compounds), or appropriate solvent bearing bituminous materials in the construction of roofing and waterproofing systems. The dry cotton fabric shall be thoroughly and uniformly saturated with bitumen by passing the fabric through the saturant or by spraying with saturant, calendering in the presence of heat, and then cooling before winding on a core. Products shall be sampled, tested, and adhere accordingly to specified physical (breaking load in both the warp and fill directions, and pliability), and dimensional (mass, width, thread count, moisture, and ash content) property requirements. The finished product shall not crack nor be so sticky as to cause tearing or other damage upon being unrolled at a given temperature.
