Abstract

This specification covers asbestos roving have a specified minimum of mass % asbestos fiber, excluding the mass of other inorganic reinforcing strands which may be present. Asbestos roving covered here are classified into classes (Classes A, B, C, D, and E) according to structural component, grades (Commercial, Underwriters', A, AA, AAA, and AAAA) according to percentage of asbestos content by mass, and electrical insulation type (Types II, IV, and VI) according to magnetic rating. Specimens shall be sampled, prepared, tested, and conform accordingly to specified chemical composition (reinforcement and asbestos content), electromagnetic (electrical insulation), mechanical (tensile or breaking strength), and dimensional (roving number or linear density) property requirements.

Scope

1.1 This specification covers asbestos roving having a minimum of 75 mass % asbestos fiber, excluding the mass of other inorganic reinforcing strands which may be present.

1.2 Warning-Breathing of asbestos dust is hazardous. Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated health risks for users and for those with whom they come into contact. In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results.
