Standard Test Method for
Electrical Resistivity of Membrane-Pavement Systems1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3633; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the electrical resistivity of water-barrier membrane-pavement systems
when applied to concrete bridge decks.

1.2 Measurements shall be performed on the bituminous
pavement surface covering the water-barrier membrane.

1.3 This test method utilizes a measure of electrical resistance between the saturated top surface of the water-barrier
membrane and the reinforcing steel embedded in the concrete
bridge deck.

1.4 The values measured represent the electrical resistance
obtained with the equipment and procedures stated herein and
do not necessarily agree or correlate with those using other
equipment or procedures.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.

1.6 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.
