The purpose of our testing was to evaluate the installed conditions of the curtain wall mockup. 1.02 Scope of Testing The general scope of this testing program included the following: Perform testing in accordance with the ASTM and AAMA specifications. Preparation of this report providing descriptions and results of the above testing and our conclusions.
1.03 Specimen Description See Toro Glass wall system drawings. The MU was built of 9 unitized pre-glazed CW panels with over all size of 14.6 x 28.2 (4456 x 8596 mm).
File No: 39140 February 19, 2010 Laboratory No: L-10-259 Page 3 of 18 1.04 Test Methods The general test methods used were. E283-91(1999) Standard Test Method for Determining the Rate of Air Leakage Through Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors Under Specified Pressure Differences Across the Specimen, E330-02 Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Exterior Windows, Doors, Skylights and Curtain Walls by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference, E331-00 Standard Test Method for Water Penetration of Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference, AAMA 501.1: Standard Test Method for Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls and Doors for Water Penetration using Dynamic Pressure AAMA 501.4 Seismic Drift. In addition to the test standards noted above, testing was performed in general accordance with generally accepted engineering principles and practices. They have incorporated federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, which in our professional opinion are applicable at the time of preparation of this report. 2.00 Testing & Findings. February 2010 TESTING SEQUEANCE 1. PRELOAD TEST PROCEDURE Preload at 50% of the inward design wind pressure 37.5 PSF (1795.5 Pa). ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: Visually inspect the assembly for any detrimental affects. Results. Pass. Observations: No visual damage observed. 2. AIR INFILTRATION TEST (Ref: ASTM E 283) TEST PROCEDURE Cover and seal the mockup completely with polyethylene sheeting while leaving the chamber uncovered. Develop a positive differential pressure of 6.24 PSF (298.8 Pa) on the chamber. Record the airflow required to maintain this pressure. This number represents the airflow through the chamber. Remove the sheeting and reestablish the positive pressure of 6.24 PSF (298.8 Pa). Record the airflow required to maintain this pressure. This number is the airflow through the mockup and chamber. The difference between the two-recorded airflows is the airflow through the mockup.
