1.1.1 Asphalt-saturated cotton fabric shall be used with asphalt base plying cement; typical ones are mopping asphalts conforming to Specification D312/D312M or D449/D449M or appropriate solvent bearing asphaltic compounds.

1.1.2 Coal-tar-saturated cotton fabric shall be used with coal-tar based plying cements; a typical one is coal-tar pitch conforming to Specification D450/D450M or appropriate solvent bearing coal-tar compounds.

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.
