Title
Standard Test Method for Determining Rate of Air Leakage Through Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors Under Specified Pressure Differences Across the Specimen
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2004
Scope:
This test method covers a standard laboratory procedure for
determining the air leakage rates of
exterior windows, curtain walls, and doors under specified
differential pressure conditions across
the specimen. The test method described is for tests with constant
temperature and humidity across
the specimen.
This laboratory procedure is applicable to exterior windows, curtain
walls, and doors and is
intended to measure only such leakage associated with the assembly and
not the installation. The
test method can be adapted for the latter purpose.
NOTE 1 - Performing tests at non-ambient conditions or with a
temperature differential across the
specimen may affect the air leakage rate. This is not addressed by
this test method.
This test method is intended for laboratory use. Persons interested in
performing field air leakage
tests on installed units should reference Test Method E 783.
Persons using this procedure should be knowledgeable in the areas of
fluid mechanics,
instrumentation practices, and shall have a general understanding of
fenestration products and
components.
Throughout this test method, SI units are listed first in accordance
with E06 metric policy, and
shall be considered the primary units. Non-SI units are provided in
parenthesis for reference
purposes.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems,
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 statement see Section 7.
