Title
Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Glass in Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors under the Influence of Uniform Static Loads by Destructive Methods
ASTM International
Publication Date:

Scope:
1. Scope
1.1 This test method is a procedure to determine if the probability of
breakage of glass specimens tested is significantly greater than,
signficantly less than, or not significantly different than the
specified probability of breakage when exposed to a specified 60-s
duration equivalent design load. It is not intended to be a design
standard for determining the load resistance of glass. Practice E 1300
shall be used for this purpose.
1.2 This test method describes apparatus and procedures to select and
apply a 60-s duration proof load to glass specimens, to determine the
number of glass specimens to be tested, and to evaluate statistically
the probability of breakage. This test method may be conducted using
the standard test frame specified herein or a test frame of the user's
design.
1.3 Proper use of this test method requires a knowledge of the
principles of pressure measurement and an understanding of recommended
glazing practices.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard.
1.5 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. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section
7.
