1、Designation: E3075 16Standard Test Method forWater Immersion and Drying for Evaluation of FloodDamage Resistance1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3075; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe performance of construction materials during flood events is an item of importance for propertyowners and communi

3、ties, especially those located in flood-prone areas. Requirements for the use offlood-resistant building materials in flood hazard areas can be found in the US model codes, standards,and guidelines pertaining to flood resistant design and construction. To promote uniformity inevaluation of building

Otherdeleterious effects of floods that are outside the scope of this test method include, but are not limitedto, debris impact, flood

Scope1.1 This test method is intended to apply to buildingma

The results ofthese tests are one factor in assessing the characteristics ofbuilding materials with regard to water immersion, drying, andability

Summary of Test Method4.1 The pr

20、ocedures described in this test method are used toevaluate the response of building materials noted in 1.1 whensubjected to water immersion, subsequent drying, and clean-ing.4.1.1 This test method exposes test specimens to waterimmersion followed by a drying period and surface cleaning.4.1.2 Test sp

Forexample, a test specimen simulating wall assembly construc-tion is immersed in a vertical orientation, while a test specimensimulating floor/ceiling assembly construction is immersed in ahoriz

Significance and Use5.1 This test method establishes water immersion, drying,and cleaning procedures to be used when determining whetherbuilding materials noted in 1.1

23、are flood damage resistant forapplications that comply with the National Flood InsuranceProgram (NFIP) 44 CFR 60.3(a)(3).5.2 This test method exposes the test specimen to waterimmersion and drying conditions to simulate the effects ofwetting and subsequent drying that occurs with a flood event.The w

24、etting and drying exposure is followed by surfacecleaning. This test method provides a measure of how testspecimens may respond to water immersion, subsequentdrying, and cleaning that occur with flood events.5.3 This test method is useful for determining water absorp-tion characteristics of differen

25、t test specimens in terms ofpercent increase in test specimen weight, their drying charac-teristics in terms of elapsed time to dry to equilibrium weight,and changes in physical appearance following water immersionand surface cleaning.5.4 This test method is useful in comparing the waterabsorption c

26、haracteristics of different test specimens, theirdrying characteristics, and changes in physical appearancefollowing water immersion and surface cleaning. This testmethod is also useful in comparing test specimen physicaldimensions before water immersion, immediately followingremoval from water imme

27、rsion, after drying, and after clean-ing.5.5 The ability to directly compare test results will vary bymany factors including test specimen size and whether testspecimens are individual building materials or compositeassemblies of building materials.6. Test Specimens6.1 The test specimens shall be id

28、entified as fully aspossible by including the building materials and details ofconstruction, method of fabrication, and other pertinent detailsthat potentially affect the response to water immersion, drying,and cleaning.NOTE 1Test specimens can vary in size and makeup depending on thepurpose of the

29、testing. Where the purpose of testing is to evaluate theresponse of a particular building material to exposures in this test method,test specimen can consist solely of the building material of interest. Suchtest specimens enable evaluation of the building material alone withoutinfluence by water abs

Procedure8.1 Water ImmersionImmerse test specimens in water inaccordance with specifications in 7.1 to the level specified in8.1.2 for a period

41、 of not less than 72 h nor more than 80 h.8.1.1 ApparatusA corrosion resistant tub or container,clean and free of debris, shall be used for soaking testspecimens and shall be of adequate size to accommodate waterimmersion of test specimens as required in this test method.8.1.2 Test Specimen Orientat

42、ion:8.1.2.1 Where end-use is in a vertical orientation (forexample, a wall assembly specimen), immerse test specimensto 50 6 10 % of the height of the specimen.8.1.2.2 Where end-use is in a horizontal orientation (forexample, a floor or ceiling assembly specimen), immerse suchthat no portion of the

43、test specimen is less than 1 in. (25 mm)below the surface of the water.8.1.3 The test specimens shall be placed on supports capableof supporting the test specimens off the bottom of the waterbath while submerged to the specified depth. For test speci-mens that may otherwise float, weights or other m

44、ethods ofkeeping test specimens submerged to the specified depth shallbe used.8.2 Water AbsorptionCompute water absorption as a per-cent increase over the initial pre-immersion test specimenweight as:WA 5Wwet2 WinitialWinitial3100 (1)where:WA = Percent increase in test specimen weight due towater im

45、mersion;Wwet= Weight of wet test specimen measured within 1 hafter removal from water immersion, g; andWinitial= Equilibrium weight of test specimen before waterimmersion, g.NOTE 3The weight increase after water immersion can be determinedby subtracting Winitialfrom Wwet. When other characterization

46、s of waterabsorption are reported, such as ratio of weight increase to the dry volumeof the test specimen, it is important to describe the basis for determinationof volume of the test specimen. The description should include factorssuch as whether the test specimen volume is based only on solid port

47、ionsof materials making up the test specimen, whether dry volume is based onactual measured dry dimensions at equilibrium weight or specifiednominal dimensions for the test specimen under dry conditions.8.3 DryingRemove test specimens from the water mixtureand dry in a controlled environment at 75 6

48、 5F(246 3 C)and 50 6 5 % RH until the equilibrium weight of the testspecimen is achieved.8.3.1 Measure test specimen weight within1hofremovalof the test specimen from the water mixture and periodicallythereafter to determine when equilibrium weight, Wfinal,isachieved (see 6.3).8.4 The elapsed time t

49、o reach equilibrium weight afterremoval from water immersion, Wfinal, shall be recorded.8.5 CleaningClean the test specimens with generallyavailable, anti-bacterial soap and potable tap water and rinsewith potable tap water.NOTE 4Use of a microfiber cloth or non-metal wire scrub brush asapplicable for the test specimen has been shown to be sufficient to removethe presence of mold and bacteria contaminants introduced into the waterfrom exposed surfaces of the test specimen.8.6 Swabbing RequirementsAssess test specimens for sur-viving sewage and mold
