scope:

1.1 This specification covers asphalt-saturated and coated organic felt base sheet with mineral surfacing on the top side, with or without perforations, for use as the first ply of a built-up roof. When not perforated, this sheet is suitable for use as a vapor retarder, with a solid mopping of asphaltic material, under roof insulation or between multiple layers of roof insulation.

1.2 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.
