1、Designation: E 2190 08Standard Specification forInsulating Glass Unit Performance and Evaluation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2190; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers preassembled permanentlysealed insulating glass units with one or two airspaces andpreassembled insulating
3、 glass units with capillary tubes inten-tionally left open.1.2 This specification is applicable only to sealed insulatingglass units that are constructed with glass.1.3 The qualification of test specimens is based on frost/dewpoint and on the absence of fog after the specified testdurations.1.4 Qual
4、ification under this specification is intended toprovide a basis for evaluating the durability of sealed insulatingglass units.1.5 This specification is not applicable to sealed insulatingglass units containing a spandrel glass coating due to testmethod limitations.1.6 This specification does not co
5、ver other physical require-ments such as appearance, thermophysical properties, heat andlight transmission, and glass displacement.NOTE 1Sealed insulating glass units qualified according to thisspecification are not necessarily suitable for structurally glazed applica-tions. Factors such as sealant
6、longevity when exposed to long termultraviolet light and the structural properties of the sealant must bereviewed for these applications. For more information on the requirementsfor structural sealant glazing applications, refer to Specification C 1369,Guide C 1249, and Test Method C 1265.1.7 The va
7、lues stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound values given in parentheses are forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user
8、of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

The final frost/dew points shall be40C or colder when measured in accordance with TestMethod E 546 or equivalent.4.3 Final frost/dew points shall be determined after 24 h butno later than 7 days.4.4 FogNo
17、 fog shall be visible after testing in accordancewith Test Method E 2189.5. Test Specimens5.1 Specimen design and construction techniques shall beestablished by Test Method E 2188.5.2 The glass and airspace thickness(es) for qualificationunder this specification are 4 mm (532 in.) glass with 12 mm (
18、12in.) airspace or 5 mm (316 in.) glass with 6 mm (14 in.)airspace.5.3 Glass or airspace thickness(es), or both, may be in-creased. (For example, using 6 mm glass with 12 mm air-space.) This may result in a more rigorous test.5.4 For triple pane units, 4 mm (532 in.) glass with 6 mm (14in.) airspace
