Title
Standard Test Method for Determination of Operating Force of Sliding Windows and Doors
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 10, 2000
Scope:
This test method determines the operating forces for opening and
closing horizontal and vertical
sliding windows and horizontal sliding door systems. It does not
address the forces required for
opening pivoting, projecting, or other fenestration systems. This test
method does not address the
use or performance of add-on devices or mechanical operators that
might be installed to reduce
operating forces of sliding windows or doors. It deals only with the
forces necessary to open and
close a sash or panel through the direct application of force to the
operable sash or panel.
This test method is suitable for laboratory product comparisons or for
qualifying products, or
both, as meeting window or door operating force specifications. This
test method is also suitable
for use in the field to determine the operating forces required to
open and close installed sliding
windows and doors.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
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. For
specific precautionary statements, see Section 7.
