• examination of the roof sys-tem assembly’s uplift resis-tance from the dynamic affectof variable wind velocities.

4.2 A contractor licensed to install roofing inthe high-velocity hurricane zone shall bepresent during all tests should roof repairsbe necessary. Any roofing componentdamaged during testing shall be repairedimmediately subsequent to test comple-tion.

4.3 When new construction will require a tearoff of the existing roof system assembly,areas of existing roofing shall be removedto deck level. Sample assemblies shall beapplied including a lifting panel, as de-tailed in Section 5.2 when the bonded pull

Procedure:9.

9.1 Bell chamber tests over an existing roofsystem assembly:

9.1.1 The test area’s membrane surfaceshall be clean, smooth and dry toprovide a continuous contact sur-face for the edges of the pressurechamber. For roof surfaces whichcontain surfacing such as gravel,slag or granules, the test areasshall be prepared as follows:

• Remove the loose gravelsurfacing; sweeping a 12 inch(300 mm) wide square inwhich the chamber perimeterwill be placed.

• Apply a heavy pouring of hotasphalt over the swept areaand allow to completely cool.

• This test area preparation isintended to provide a continu-ous, smooth surface to whichthe edges of the test chambermake contact such that accu-rate pressure measurementsare taken.

9.1.2 Place the bar with attached dial in-dicator such that the tip of the dialindicator is in contact with theroof membrane at the center of thetest area.

9.1.3 Place the assembled chamber overthe roof test area such that the barwith attached dial indicator is cen-tered within the chamber and is


(TAS) No. 124-11

perpendicular to the sides of thechamber. The edges of the cham-ber shall be in complete contactwith the roof surface. Position thechamber such that its edges areparallel with the direction of thestructural framing of the building.

9.1.4 Install the pressure measurementdevice to the uplift pressure cham-ber and calibrate to zero pressure.

9.1.5 Position the vacuum pump overthe hole provided in the chamber,insuring that the bypass valve onthe pump is open before startingthe pump or, if a rheostat is used,that it is in the OFF position.

9.1.6 Raise the pressure within thechamber to 15 + 0.5 lbf/ft2 (720 +20 Pa) and hold this pressure levelfor one minute.

9.1.7 Continuously observe the deflec-tion and pressure measurementdevice throughout the vacuumpumping process for sudden orvariable rates of movement.

9.1.8 At the end of the first one minuteinterval, increase the pressurewithin the chamber in incrementsof 15 + 0.5 lbf/ft2 (720 + 20 Pa),holding each pressure level for aperiod of one minute, until:

• the roof system assemblyfails, as noted in Section 10.1;or,

• the pressure within the cham-ber is held at the design pres-sure for the particular roofarea (i.e., field, perimeter orcorner area) for a period ofone minute. These designpressures are determined incompliance with ASCE 7-98,as specified in Section 1606of the Florida Building Code,Building and are listed onSection II of the UniformBuilding Permit.

9.1.9 If “failure,” as defined in Section10.1, occurs, record the appliedload and time.

9.2 Bell chamber test for a new roof systemassembly applied directly to the substrate:

9.2.1 Remove the existing roofingmembrane to the deck in an areaof 8 feet by 8 feet, thoroughlycleaning the deck of all existingroofing material.

9.2.2 If the new assembly is to be ad-hered, prime the deck with ASTMD 41 primer and allow to com-pletely dry.

9.2.3 Install the proposed roof systemassembly utilizing the precise ma-terials proposed for the reroof ap-pl icat ion. Insta l l the tes tassemblies in strict compliancewith published application rec-ommendations.

9.2.4 Provide the testing agency withtwo copies of manufacturer’s lit-erature and application instruc-tions.

9.2.5 Allow the test panel to cure for 48hours if applied in hot asphalt or28 days if solvent or waterbasedadhesives are employed.

9.2.6 Do not apply aggregate surfacingto the test assembly. If an aggre-gate surface or coating is to be ap-plied to the final assembly finishthe test assembly with a flood coatof asphalt at an application rate of384 pounds ± 10 pounds.

9.2.7 Seal the test assembly by stripflashing the test panel to the exist-ing roof system assembly.

9.2.7.1 If the test assembly islower than the existingroof system assemblythe test assembly areashall be filled with aloose insulation mate-rial and the test areashall be covered for thecure period.

9.2.8 Testing of the panel shall be asnoted in Section 9.1


(TAS) No. 124-11

9.3 Bonded pull test over existing roof systemassemblies:

9.3.1 The test area’s membrane surfaceshall be clean, smooth and dry toprovide a continuous contact sur-face for test panel adhesion.

9.3.2 Cut an indentation in the center ofthe test area to accommodate thenut and washer on the undersideof the test panel where a doubleplywood panel is used. Outlinethe test area perimeter, assign areference number and photo-graph.

9.3.3 Suspend the wood or wood andsteel test panel, with eye-bolt orwelded ring installed, from theload application apparatus and re-cord the downward load.

9.3.4 Apply a flood coat of hot steep as-phalt or coal tar pitch over themarked test area at an applicationrate of 4 lb/ft2 and float the testpanel into place. Allow a curingtime of 24 hours for hot asphaltand 48 hours for coal tar pitch ap-plications. Curing time may varydue to atmospheric conditions.

9.3.4.1 Report any variation incure time.

9.3.4.2 The flood coat applica-tion rate may be in-creased for unusualconditions to ensure acomplete bond of thetest assembly.

9.3.4.3 Report any variation inthe adhesive applica-tion rate.

9.3.5 Determine the required upliftforce (F) to be applied using infor-mation determined in Section9.3.3 and the following equation:

where,F = (4 by P) + W

F = required uplift force (lbf);

P = design pressure (lbf/ft2);and

W = weight of test panel (lbf).

9.3.6 When the flood coat, noted in Sec-tion 9.3.4, has fully cured, cut a 2inch to 3 inch wide strip throughthe roof covering around the testpanel down to deck level. The in-tent is to fully isolate the test sam-ple from surrounding roofingmaterials.

9.3.7 Position the support system overthe test panel and attach the loadapplication and measurement de-vices to the eye-bolt or weldedring.

9.3.8 Apply an initial load of 40 lbf plusthe weight of the test panel (W +40) and hold for 1 minute. Afterthe initial 1 minute, increase theapplied load by 40 lbf incrementsin 1 minute time intervals until thedesign pressure (P) is attained, asnoted in Table 2, below.

9.3.9 If “failure,” as defined in Section10.2, occurs, record the appliedload and time.

Interpretation of Results:10.

10.1 Bell chamber test:

10.1.1 Most roof system assemblies sub-jected to a negative pressure willexhibit an upward deflection thatwill increase as the negative pres-sure increases. Poorly adheredsystems will exhibit relativelylarge increases in upward deflec-tions with relatively small in-creases in applied pressure. Forroof system assemblies that arewell adhered, the increase in de-


(TAS) No. 124-11

flection will be gradual and at arelatively constant rate up to apoint at or near failure. The up-ward deflection may slowly in-crease while maintaining thepressure within the chamber.When failure occurs due to lack ofadhesive or cohesive resistance ofthe roof system assembly, therewill be a sudden increase in theupward deflection, and mostlikely the deflection will exceedthe capacity of the dial indicator.

10.1.2 Any roof system assembly whichexhibits an upward deflectiongreater than or equal to 1 inch (25mm) during any of the tests shallbe considered as failing at thepoint where 1 inch (25 mm) of de-flection is recorded.

10.1.3 An upward deflection in excess of1/4 inch (6 mm) or a sudden in-crease in deflection, as measuredby the dial indicator, may indicatean attachment and/or adhesionproblem in the roof system assem-bly and may require further inves-tigation.

10.1.4 Upward deflection of the roof sys-tem assembly due to negativepressure may vary at different lo-cations due to varying stiffness ofthe roof system assembly. Stiff-ness of a roof system assembly isinfluenced by the thickness of in-sulation; stiffness of decking; andby the type, proximity and rigidityof connections between the deck-ing and framing system.


10.2.1 Any roof system assembly whichexhibits delamination of any por-tion of the test sample prior to thefull 1 minute duration at an ap-plied load equal to the design load(F) shall be considered as failingthe bonded pull test.

10.2.2 If delamination occurs betweenthe plywood test panel and theroof covering, the test panel shall

be re-adhered to the test area, in-creasing the curing period of thehot steep asphalt coal tar pitch orsuch other adhesive material thatmay better adhere the test panel tothe roof membrane.
