Thinking they refer to this metal as 5V. The ply is covered with the tar paper to shed any condensation down. I dunno, their specs.

It's raining now, subtle sound of the drops hitting above.......

Just an age thing..............tar paper will disintegrate as well but by the time it has the roof is prettty old as well................just surprised that system is still used today when insulation has advanced and covers the noise and condensation as well as insulates against heat and cold

Fred, true enough, ya gotta be careful not to overtighten the gasketed screws, but on the other hand....
20 + years ago, I built a shed and used ridged (corrugated) sheet-metal roofing that I salvaged from a demolished barn. The nailing on a steel roof goes through the peak of the ridges. Because the spacing of my strapping was different than that of the old barn, I made all new holes for the retaining screws. I left all the existing holes open/uncaulked. Ya know what? Because they are on the tops of the ridges, that roof full of holes does not leak at all! The water just runs off the ridges onto the flats in between.

you have done well .every tin roof that i had to go and fix because of leaks was the fault of the perished rubber seal..
