Site Inspections continues to bring innovation to the building industry with the Reach Blade III, a key part of its ground-breaking product line - THE TRINITY BLADES. This gauge is meticulously designed to measure fillet/bond breaker requirements in the most challenging and hard-to-reach locations, offering precision and convenience in your professional toolkit.

Reach Blade III: The Specialised Tool for Class III Liquid Membrane Applications

Reach Blade III is engineered with an eye for detail, designed to deliver a 12mm minimum fillet/bond breaker measurement. This adheres to the AS 3740 standards for Class III liquid membrane applications.

AS 3740 Table 4.10 Bond Breakers

 Membrane class
Elongation at break
Minimum bond breaker/tape width
I
10 % to 59 %
100 mm
II
60 % to 299 %
35 mm
III
≥ 300 %
12 mm

NOTE 1 Bond breakers for Class I membranes (low extensibility) allow the membrane to flex rather than stretch.
NOTE 2 Bond breakers for Class II membranes (medium extensibility) allow the membrane to stretch. If a tape is used as a bond breaker, either the membrane will not bond to the tape or the tape will have elastic properties similar to the membrane.
NOTE 3 Bond breakers for Class III membranes (high extensibility) allow the membrane to have even thickness.

As always, it's essential to refer to the product manufacturer's Technical Data Sheet. This ensures that the fillet/bond breaker sizes are suitable for the membrane system and meet the minimum requirements stipulated by the Australian standards.
