508 DOORS, WINDOWS AND GLAZING

A WINDOWS AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS - AIR INFILTRATION

A-1 Test Procedure. Air leakage shall be tested in

accordance with ASTM E 283-91.

A-2 Performance Criteria

A. When tested at a static air pressure of 1.567 psf,

the rate of air leakage shall not exceed 1/2 cfm

per ft of crack length. Air leakage for jalousie

windows is not to exceed 1 1/2 cfm per sq. ft. of

total ventilating areas. Air leakage for sliding

glass doors is not to exceed 1 cfm per sq. ft. of

overall frame dimension.

b\. In areas subject to winds (90 mph and over) the

performance requirement for sliding glass doors may

be increased at the discretion of the HUD Field

Office so that the air leakage will not exceed 1/2

cfm per sq. ft. of overall frame dimension.

B WINDOWS AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS - WATER RESISTANCE

B-1 Test Procedure. Water infiltration shall be tested in

accordance with ASTM E 331-86.

B-2 Performance Criteria

a\. Minimum Performance - No water shall pass the

interior face of the unit when tested at a static

pressure of 2.86 psf with water applied at the rate

of 5.0 U.S. gal. per sq. ft. per hour for a time

period of 15 minutes.

b\. In areas subject to wind driven rain (90 mph and

over) the static pressure in (a) may be raised to

6.24 psf at the discretion of the HUD Field Office.

C WINDOWS AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS - PHYSICAL LOAD

C-1 Test Procedure Physical load tests shall be conducted in

accordance with ASTM E 330-90.

C-2 Performance Criteria

a\. Minimum Performance

\(1\) Under a uniform load of 10 psf applied to

surface of unit, except jalousie windows and

sliding glass doors, max. deflection of any

member shall not exceed 1/175 of its span.

\(2\) Under a uniform load of 20 psf applied for 10

seconds to the ext., then a uniform load of 10

psf applied to the int. for 10 seconds, there

shall be no glass breakage, damage to hardware

or residual deflection.

b\. In areas subject to winds 90 mph and over, the

uniform loads, shown in a. (2) may be increased to

40 psf exterior and 20 psf interior loadings, at

the discretion of the HUD Field Office.
