(2) Determine the bend breaking load of a test piece of a corrugated roofing shingle as follows. ‘Take a span of 60 cm in the direction of overall length of the test piece, put the test piece, with its surface up, on the two steel supporting rods approximately 15 mm in radius, next contact one end of a steel cushion rod of the same shape with the middle of the span, and through it apply a load uniformly at such a rete that the mean loading speed will reach the anticipated maximum breaking load in 1 to 3 min to obtain the breaking load. 6.4 Water Content and Water Absorption Tests Immerse a test piece in clean water at ordinary temperature, take Tt out, after a lapse of 24h, quickly wipe all its sides, and immediately measure its mass to take it as ‘the mass (%) at the water absorption time. Then, put it into an air drier fitted with @ stirrer maintained at 105 45°C, take it out after drying for 24 h, put it into a desiccator with its humidity adjusted by calcium chloride (2) or sitica gel (13), cool to ordinary temperature and measure the mass to take it as the mass (1) at the time of dryness.’ Measure the mass to the nearest 0.1 g in both cases. Obtain the water content and water absorption from the following formulae: Water absorption (x)= Mi x 100 Notes (12) Use the calcium chloride (anhydrous) specified in JIS K 8123, 3) Use the silica gel meeting the quality requirements specified in JIS K 1464, 6.5 Test for Warpage Due to Water Absorption Set each 2 reference points 160° mm from the center In two Mlagonal directions on the ‘back face of the test piece as shown in Fig. 3.

After the lapse of the specified time, put the test piece, lying on end vertically, into an air drier fitted with a stirrer maintained at 80+5°C and dry for 1.5 h. Thereafter, take out the test Piece, and measure the distance between the plane connecting the two groups of the reference points and the center by the use of a measuring instrument as shown in Fig. 4 to take it as the second measurement.
