Title
Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration of Installed Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls, by Uniform or Cyclic Static Air Pressure Difference
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 2000
Scope:
This test method covers the determination of the resistance of
installed exterior windows, curtain walls, skylights, and doors to
water penetration when water is applied to the outdoor face and
exposed edges simultaneously with a static air pressure at the
outdoor face higher than the pressure at the indoor face.
This test method is applicable to any curtain-wall area or to
windows, skylights, or doors alone. It is intended primarily for
determining the resistance to water penetration through such
assemblies for compliance with specified performance criteria, but
it may also be used to determine the resistance to penetration
through the joints between the assemblies and the adjacent
construction. Other procedures may be appropriate to identify
sources of leakage.
This test method addresses water penetration through a
manufactured assembly. Water that penetrates the assembly, but does
not result in a failure as defined herein, may have adverse effects
on the performance of contained materials such as sealants and
insulating or laminated glass. This test method does not address
these issues.
The proper use of this test method requires a knowledge of the
principles of pressure measurement.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The inch-pound equivalents of SI units may be
approximate.
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 hazard statements, see
7.1.
