Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of sealing the test specimeninto or against one face of a test chamber, supplying air to orexhausting air from the chamber

22、according to a specific testloading program, at the rate required to maintain the testpressure difference across the specimen, and observing, mea-suring, and recording the deflection, deformations, and natureof any distress or failures of the specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is a

23、 standard procedure for determiningstructural performance under uniform static air pressure differ-ence. This typically is intended to represent the effects of awind load on exterior building surface elements. The actualloading on building surfaces is quite complex, varying withwind direction, time,

24、 height above ground, building shape,terrain, surrounding structures, and other factors. The resis-tance of many windows, curtain walls, and door assemblies towind loading is also complex and depends on the completehistory of load, magnitude, duration, and repetition. Thesefactors are discussed in A

25、SCE 7 and in the literature (1-8).55.2 Design wind velocities are selected for particular geo-graphic locations and probabilities of occurrence based on datafrom wind velocity maps such as are provided in ASCE 7.These wind velocities are translated into uniform static airpressure differences and dur

26、ations acting inward and outward.Complexities of wind pressures, as related to building design,wind intensity versus duration, frequency of occurrence, andother factors must be considered. Superimposed on sustainedwinds are gusting winds which, for short periods of time froma fraction of a second to

27、 a few seconds, are capable of movingat considerably higher velocities than the sustained winds. Theanalytical procedures in ASCE 7, wind tunnel studies, com-puter simulations, and model analyses are helpful in determin-ing the appropriate design wind loads on exterior surfaceelements of buildings.

28、Generally, wind load durations obtainedfrom ASCE 7 are 2 to 10 s and are dependent upon the specifictime reference employed in determining the pressure coeffi-cients.5.3 Some materials have strength or deflection characteris-tics that are time dependent. Therefore, the duration of theapplied test lo

29、ad may have a significant impact on theperformance of materials used in the test specimen. The mostcommon examples of materials with time-dependent responsecharacteristics that are used are glass, plastics, and compositesthat employ plastics. For this reason, the strength of anassembly is tested for

30、 the actual time duration to which itwould be exposed to a sustained or a gust load, or both, asdiscussed above. Generally, U.S. practice for wind load testinghas been to require a minimum test period of 10 s for test loadsequal to the design wind load and proof loads equal to 1.5times the design wi

31、nd load. Thus a safety factor is incorporatedin the testing. With test loads for wind higher than thosedetermined byASCE 7 or of longer time duration than 10 s, thedesigner must consider what safety factors are appropriate. Fortest loads that represent design loads other than wind, such assnow load,

32、 consideration shall be given to establish an appro-priate test period for both design and proof load testing.5.4 This standard is not intended to account for the effect ofwindborne debris or cyclic loads. Consideration of cyclic airpressure differentials is addressed in Test Method E1233.Considerat

33、ion of windborne debris in combination with cyclicair pressure differential representing extreme wind events isaddressed in Test Method E1886 and Specification E1996.5.5 This test method is not intended for use in evaluating thestructural adequacy of glass for a particular application. Whenthe struc

34、tural performance of glass is to be evaluated, theprocedure described in Test Method E997 or E998 shall beused.NOTE 1In applying the results of tests by this test method, note thatthe performance of a wall or its components, or both, may be a functionof fabrication, installation, and adjustment. The

35、 specimen may or may nottruly represent every aspect of the actual structure. In service, theperformance will also depend on the rigidity of supporting construction,temperature, and on the resistance of components to deterioration byvarious other causes, including vibration, thermal expansion and co

36、ntrac-tion, etc.6. Apparatus6.1 The description of the apparatus is general in nature; anyequipment capable of performing the test procedure within theallowable tolerances is permitted.6.2 Major Components (see Fig. 1):6.2.1 Test Chamber, or a box with an opening, a removablemounting panel, or one o

37、pen side in which or against which the5The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.E330 02 (2010)2specimen is installed. Provide a static pressure tap to measurethe pressure difference across the test specimen. Locate the tapso that the reading is una

38、ffected by the velocity of air suppliedto or from the chamber or by any other air movements. The airsupply opening into the chamber shall be arranged so that theair does not impinge directly on the test specimen with anysignificant velocity. A means shall be provided to facilitate testspecimen adjus

39、tments and observations. The test chamber orthe specimen mounting frame, or both, must not deflect underthe test load in such a manner that the performance of thespecimen will be affected.6.2.2 Air System, a controllable blower, a compressed-airsupply, an exhaust system, or reversible controllable b

40、lowerdesigned to provide the required maximum air-pressure differ-ence across the specimen. The system shall provide an essen-tially constant air-pressure difference for the required testperiod.NOTE 2It is convenient to use a reversible blower or a separatepressure and exhaust system to provide the

41、required air-pressure differ-ence so that the test specimen can be tested for the effect of wind blowingagainst the wall (positive pressure) or for the effect of suction on the leeside of the building (negative pressure) without removing, reversing, andreinstalling the test specimen. If an adequate

42、air supply is available, acompletely airtight seal need not be provided around the perimeter of thetest specimen and the mounting panel, although it is preferable. However,substantial air leakage will require an air supply of much greater capacityto maintain the required pressure differences.6.2.3 P

43、ressure-Measuring Apparatus, to measure the testpressure difference within a tolerance of 62% or 62.5 Pa(60.01 in. of water column), whichever is greater.6.2.4 Deflection-Measuring System, to measure deflectionswithin a tolerance of 60.25 mm (60.01 in.).6.2.4.1 For Procedure A, any locations at whic

44、h deflectionsare to be measured shall be stated by the specifier.6.2.4.2 For Procedure B, maximum and end deflections of atleast one of each type of principal member not directly andcontinuously supported by surrounding construction shall bemeasured. Additional locations for deflection measurements,

45、 ifrequired, shall be stated by the specifier.6.2.4.3 When deflections are to be measured, the deflectiongages shall be installed so that the deflections of the compo-nents can be measured without being influenced by possiblemovements of, or movements within, the specimen or membersupports.6.2.4.4 F

46、or proof load tests, permanent deformation can bedetermined by the use of a straightedge-type gage applied tothe members after preloading and again after the test load hasbeen removed.7. Hazards7.1 Take proper precautions to protect the observers in theevent of any failure. Considerable energy and h

47、azard areinvolved at the pressures used in this test method.(WarningAt the pressure used in this test method, consid-erable hazards are involved. Do not permit personnel innegative pressure chambers during tests.)8. Test Specimens8.1 Curtain wall test specimens shall be of sufficient sizeand configu

48、ration to determine the performance of all typicalparts of the system and to provide full loading on each typicalvertical and horizontal framing member, including buildingcorner details and end joints, if applicable. For multistorysystems, the specimen height shall not be less than two fullbuilding

49、stories plus the height necessary to include at least onefull horizontal joint accommodating vertical expansion. Ifwater testing is to be performed on the test specimens, at leastone full horizontal joint accommodating vertical expansionshall be included and located in the bottom third of thespecimen. The specimen shall include all typical expansionjoints, connections, anchorages, and supporting elements in-cluding those at the top, bottom, and both sides of thespecimen. Where the largest system or building wall is smallerthan that required herein, the largest system
