ASTM D7586/D7586M-11

1.1 This test method provides a laboratory technique for determining the air intrusion in low-sloped mechanically attached membrane roof assemblies under specified negative air pressures differences.

1.2 This test method is intended to measure only air intrusion associated with the opaque roof assembly free from penetrations such as those associated with mechanical devices, roof junctions, and terminations.

1.3 The 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.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
