Summary of Test Method4.1 This method can be used to determine either themaximum sustained static test pressure or the ultimatepressure, or both, for the siding specimen. The procedureconsists of sealing the te

11、st specimen with or against one face ofa test chamber, supplying air to or exhausting air from thechamber at a rate required to maintain a specific static airpressure across the specimen for a specific time period.Pressure is applied in increments and the sample observed forfailure at each stage, to

12、 determine the maximum sustainedstatic test pressure, the ultimate test pressure, or both.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is a standard procedure for determiningwindload resistance of rigid plastic siding under specifieduniform static pressure difference. This typically is intended torep

13、resent the effects of wind loads on exterior building sur-faces. The actual loading on building surfaces is quite complex,varying with wind direction, time, height above ground,building shape, terrain, surrounding structures, and other fac-tors.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Com

17、luation of rigid poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) siding.NOTE 2In applying the results of this test method, note that theperformance of rigid PVC siding is a function of installation, and thespecimen may or may not truly represent the actual application. In service,performance will also depend on the rigid

18、ity of supporting construction,and on the resistance of other components to deterioration by variouscauses, to thermal expansion and contraction, etc.6. Apparatus6.1 The description of apparatus is general in nature; anyequipment capable of performing the test procedure within theallowable tolerance

19、s is permitted.6.2 Major Components (See Fig. 1):6.2.1 Test ChamberA test chamber or box with anopening, a removable mounting panel, or one open side inwhich or against which the specimen is installed. Either thepositive test chamber configuration or the negative test cham-ber configuration shall be

20、 used to perform this test. (See Fig.1.) At least one static pressure tap shall be provided to measurethe chamber pressure and shall be so located that the reading isunaffected by the velocity of the air supply to or from thechamber or any other air movement. The air supply openinginto the chamber s

21、hall be arranged so that the air does notimpinge directly on the test specimen with any significantvelocity. A means of access into the chamber to facilitateadjustments, observations, and measurements after the speci-men has been installed is permitted.NOTE 3The test chamber or the specimen mounting

22、 frame, or both,must not deflect under the test load in such a manner that the performanceof the specimen will be affected.6.2.2 Air SystemA controllable blower, a compressed airsupply, an exhaust system, or reversible controllable blowerdesigned to provide the required maximum air pressure differ-e

23、nce across the specimen. The system shall provide an essen-tially constant air pressure difference for the required testperiod.6.2.3 Pressure Measuring ApparatusA device to measurethe test pressure difference within a tolerance of 62%.7. Safety Precautions7.1 Take proper precautions to protect the o

24、bservers in theevent of any failure. At the pressures used in this test method,considerable energy and hazard are involved. In cases offailure, the hazard to personnel is less with a negative pressureconfiguration, as the specimen will tend to blow into the testchamber rather than out. Do not permit

25、 personnel in suchchambers during tests and lockout chambers during tests.8. Test Specimens8.1 SamplingSiding samples for test specimens shall beselected at random from production stock.FIG. 1 Test ChamberD5206 1328.2 Prepare a test specimen frame to simulate constructionmethods that will be expecte

26、d in the field. The frame shall besized to accommodate a minimum of three stud spaces wideand a minimum of four siding panels high. Measure the nailhem thickness at a minimum of 5 locations along the nail hemprior to mounting the panel.8.2.1 Stud spacing shall have either 16 or 24-in. (406 or 609mm)

27、 centers in accordance with the manufacturers fasteninginstructions.8.2.2 The overall height of the test specimen frame shall beadjusted for siding panels of varying height to keep thedistance between the frame and the siding at the top and bottomto a minimum and yet provide clearance between siding

28、 andframe. (See Fig. 1.)8.3 Apply 2-mil (0.0508 mm) maximum thickness plasticfilm between the siding and the studs or sheathing and seal itto the perimeter of the test frame. If sheathing is applied to theexterior of the studs, 2-in. (50.8 mm) minimum diameter holescentered horizontally and vertical

29、ly between studs shall be cutthrough the sheathing to allow pressure application to theplastic film.8.3.1 Film application must permit full pressure load trans-fer to the siding test specimen and must not prevent movementor failure of the specimen. Apply film loosely with extra foldsof material at e

30、ach corner and at all offsets and recesses. Whenload is applied, there shall be no fillet caused by tightness ofthe plastic film.8.4 Apply a starter strip and at least four siding panels to thetest specimen frame as specified in the section on application ofhorizontal siding in Practice D4756 (9.1).

31、8.5 In cases where siding is not designed or configured foruse as horizontal panels, the test structure shall be modified toprovide a test exposure similar to that described in 8.2 and 8.4,with the siding installed in accordance with the manufacturersinstructions.8.6 Prepare six identical test speci

32、mens under uniformpreparation conditions by experienced personnel so as toprovide adequate specimens for retests or determination ofultimate test pressure (when required) in addition to static testpressure.9. Procedure9.1 Position a test specimen frame vertically or horizontallyover the opening in t

33、he test chamber (box) so as to subject theentire test specimen to the pressure load. The orientation of thesiding face will depend upon whether a positive or negativechamber configuration is used. The test configuration shallcreate a load on the siding in the direction that would tend topull the sid

34、ing off the wall.9.2 Install a filler panel in the test chamber of box openingnot covered by the specimen frame.9.3 Seal all seams in the equipment and test chamber whichcould permit pressure leakage during the test.9.4 Failure of siding specimen has occurred when any of thefollowing criteria are pr

35、esent:9.4.1 Siding nail tab is torn or disengaged from fastener.9.4.2 Permanent buckling of siding.9.4.3 Fastener withdrawal from frame.9.4.4 Permanent disengagement of locks.9.5 ProcedureThis procedure determines the maximumsustained static test pressure, the ultimate test pressure forfailure, or b

36、oth, for the siding.9.5.1 Check the specimen for proper adjustment and lockoutthe chamber if human entry is possible.9.5.2 Apply a preload of 5 lbf/ft2(239.4 Pa) to the testspecimen and hold for 30 s. Release pressure difference acrossthe specimen, and allow a 1-min recovery period.9.5.3 Apply a pre

37、ssure difference across the specimen inincrements of 5 lbf/ft2(239.4 Pa), holding for 30 s beforeincreasing the next 5 lbf/ft2(239.4 Pa). Continue test untilfailure occurs. Record the pressure at failure, which is theultimate pressure, as well as the mode of failure. Record thehighest pressure that

38、was sustained for 30 s without failure,which is the maximum sustained static test pressure.9.5.4 Test two additional specimens for failure pressuredifference as detailed in 9.5.1 to 9.5.3. For each sample, recordthe pressure at failure, which is the ultimate test pressure, andthe failure mode. Recor

Average the highest pressuret

40、hat was sustained for 30 s without failure for each of the threespecimens and report this value as the average maximumsustained static test pressure.9.5.6 For the test results to be considered valid, the ultimatetest pressure and the maximum sustained static test pressure foreach of the three specim

41、ens must fall within the followingrequired range:(1) For average test pressure less than 33.33 lbf/ft2, theresult for each of the three specimens is not greater than 5 psfabove or below the average of the three specimens.(2) For average test pressure greater than or equal to 33.33lbf/ft2(1596 Pa), t

42、he result for each of the three specimens isnot greater than 15 percent above or below the average of thethree pressures.9.5.6.1 If the result for any of the three specimens fallsoutside the required range, a test with a fourth specimen is tobe conducted. The average of all four tests is reported.10
