About This Item
ASTM D6163/D6163M is the ASTM standard that covers Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) modified bituminous sheet materials using glass fiber reinforcements. It is used as a technical reference for product specification, helping buyers, manufacturers, and specifiers align on material expectations and quality requirements. By defining a common framework for these reinforced sheet materials, the standard supports more consistent evaluation and procurement of roofing and related waterproofing products.
What is ASTM D6163/D6163M?
This standard is a specification for SBS modified bituminous sheet materials that incorporate glass fiber reinforcement. In practical terms, ASTM D6163/D6163M helps describe the material type, construction, and performance-related requirements that such sheets are expected to meet. It is most useful when comparing products or confirming that a sheet material is intended for the same general application and reinforcement category. The designation also appears in inch-pound and SI units, which supports broader technical and commercial use.
Where is ASTM D6163/D6163M used?
ASTM D6163/D6163M is commonly used in the selection, procurement, and quality review of SBS modified bituminous sheet materials with glass fiber reinforcement. It is relevant in roofing and similar sheet-applied building envelope work where reinforced bituminous membranes are specified. The standard is also useful for manufacturers, laboratories, and specifiers who need a shared basis for product documentation, testing, and comparison. In many workflows, it supports communication between purchasing teams and technical reviewers.
Why is ASTM D6163/D6163M important?
This specification matters because it helps establish a consistent benchmark for product performance and acceptance. ASTM D6163/D6163M supports compliance checks, quality control, and product evaluation by giving stakeholders a common technical reference. That can reduce confusion during procurement and make it easier to compare similar sheet materials from different sources. For projects that rely on reinforced SBS modified bituminous products, using a recognized ASTM standard also helps manage risk and improve specification clarity.
