Questions 1:
In high-wind situations, when uplift in roofing assemblies is critical, minor components, such as mechanical fasteners and cover boards, have enhanced wind uplift performance systems significantly.
 

a) True

b) False

Questions 2:
Changes in cover board core materials and the development of more surface coating features were designed to do all but which of the following:

a) Limit moisture-related problems.

b) Reduce the quantities of adhesive required to
         apply membranes.

c) Enhance adhesion performance.

d) Reduce unit costs as more features were added
         to improve performance levels.
 

Questions 3:
Calcination refers to which of the following:

a) The white powdery substance that appears on
          brick and masonry walls.

b) A chemical process that occurs at high
         temperatures, releasing chemically bound
         moisture.

c) Calcium deposits within natural materials.3 feet

d) 4 feet
 

Questions 4:
Cover boards are an essential roofing system component designed to enhance most roofing systems against all of the following except:

a)  Wind

b)  Hail

c)  Fire

d)  Earthquakes

e)  Foot traffic.
 

Questions 5:
Cover boards must resist moderate levels of moisture without degradation and surface bonding layers must not delaminate from the core because delamination does which of the following:

a) Causes calcinations.

b) Increases uplift performance.

c) Reduces the bond strength.
 

Questions 6:
Industry testing groups have performed tests for cover board roof assemblies relating to all but which of the following criteria?

a) Hail

b) Impact

c) Snow loads

d) Puncture resistance.

Question 7:
The presence of moisture in cover boards may result in mold within the roof assembly and mold spores migrating to the building interiors.
 

a) True

b) False

Question 8:
Typical cover board options include all but which of the following:

a) Fiber board and perlite roof board.

b) Calcinated mineral materials and recycled
         phosphate board.

c) Glass/mineral board and asphaltic core boards.

d) Glass mat-faced gypsum board and fiber-
         reinforced gypsum panels.

Questions 9:
When specifying cover boards as part of a roof assembly or system, all but which of the following are true?

  - 

a) If a fire or wind uplift resistance rating is
         required, only the cover board carries the rating,
         not the roofing assembly.

b) Each part of the system must be a tested
         component within the assembly.

c) The climate and environmental characteristics
         of where the board will be placed must be
         considered.

d) Roof collapse or roofing assembly failure may
         occur if moisture cannot be anticipated in the
         roofing system.
 

Questions 10:
The primary function of cover boards is to protect, separate and support the roof membrane.
 

(a) True

(b) False
