ASTM D3393-91(2014) PDF

Scope: 5.1 The purpose of this specification is to establish a recognized criterion for “waterproofness” in terms of a minimum hydrostatic resistance. The necessary definitions to provide a common understanding of the meaning of this characteristic when it is used to describe a fabric coated with rubber or plastics are also given. The specification does not cover requirements for water repellency or water resistance of fabrics coated with rubber or plastics.
TEST METHOD

1.1 This specification sets forth the minimum requirements for hydrostatic resistance of fabrics coated with rubber or plastics. Coated fabrics satisfying these requirements are considered to be waterproof.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
