    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Requirements for roofing, tanking and flooring grades of mastic asphalt for building, composed of ground limestone, coarse aggregate and pigment if required, incorporated with asphaltic cements. Appendices give guidance on selection of grades and thicknesses for flooring, remelting and hardness numbers at time of laying and mass per unit area.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This British Standard specifies requirements for roofing, tanking and flooring grades of mastic asphalt for building and civil engineering purposes, composed of ground limestone, coarse aggregate and pigment if required, incorporated with asphaltic cements.
