SECTION 3
TEST METHOD(S)
The specimen was evaluated in accordance with the following:
AAMA 508-14, Voluntary Test Method and Specification for Pressure Equalized Rain Screen
Wall Cladding Systems
AAMA 501.1-05, Standard Test Method for Water Penetration of Windows, Curtain Walls, and
Doors Using Dynamic Pressure. Testing was conducted with a dynamic pressure equivalent
of 300 Pa (6.24 psf) for a 15-minute duration. Water was applied to the mock-up at a
minimum rate of 5 gal/hr/ft2.
ASTM E283-04(2012), Standard Test Method for Determining Rate of Air Leakage Through
Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors Under Specified Pressure Differences Across the
Specimen. Testing was conducted at 75 Pa (1.57 psf) positive static air pressure difference.
ASTM E331-00(2016), Standard Test Method for Water Penetration of Exterior Windows,
Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference. Testing was
conducted at 300 Pa (6.24 psf) positive static air pressure difference for a 15-minute duration.
Water was applied to the mock-up at a minimum rate of 5 gal/hr/ft2.
ASTM E1233/E1233M-14, Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Exterior
Windows, Doors, Skylights, and Curtain Walls by Cyclic Static Air Pressure Differential. Testing
was conducted for 100, three-second cycles from 240 Pa (5.0 psf) to 1200 Pa (25.0 psf) to 240
Pa (5.0 psf).
SECTION 4
MATERIAL SOURCE/INSTALLATION
Test specimen was provided by the client. Representative samples of the test specimen(s) will be
retained by Intertek B&C for a minimum of two years from the test completion date.
Installation of the tested product was performed by the client. The specimen was installed
utilizing an aluminum extruded interlocking stud and rail system. The interlocking rails were
located along the perimeter and the horizontal and vertical midspans. The vertical rails were
secured into the studs utilizing #10 x 3/4" self-tapping hex head screws 16" on center. The
horizontal rails were secured into the studs with # 10 x 1-1/2" hex head screws 16" on center. The
panels were interlocked into the rail system. A 3" high continuous aluminum flashing was
installed underneath the horizontal rails at the head, sill and midspan. The flashing was secured
into the studs with #10 x 1-1/2" hex head screws 16" on center. A 1-1/4" wide by 1/2" by 48" long
U-shaped PVC support was utilized at each steel stud where the interlocking rail system was not
located. The PVC support was secured into the studs with #10 x 3/4" self-tapping hex head screws
16" on center. Polyurethane panel support blocks were utilized at the top edge of each panel.
The panel support blocks were spaced 8" from the vertical edge of the panel and spaced 8" on
center and secured into the lexan with #10 x 3/4" self-tapping hex head screws.

SECTION 5
EQUIPMENT
Computerized control panel to run positive pressures, cyclic pressures, and measure air leakage
rates.
Structural test chamber to mount the test wall, as to evaluate the performance of the wall panel
system for static and cyclic pressures, as well as water penetration. The wall was situated such
that the interior side of the test wall was accessible to observe air and water leakage.
Dynamic wind generator to create a wind pressure to test the wall panel system for dynamic water
penetration.
Computerized data management equipment to read, log, and graph differential pressures.

Panel Construction: The panels were comprised of a 0.11" thick composite core with a 0.024"
aluminum skin.
Test Wall Construction: The 96" wide by 96" high test wall was constructed of 16 gauge, 6"
galvanized steel studs. The steel studs were spaced 16" on center inside a 2x10 wood buck. The
stud wall was covered with 3/16" thick clear lexan, sealed, and secured to the exterior of the wall
to simulate an air/water barrier. The wall panel system was then installed onto the clear
polycarbonate in a manner consistent with normal construction procedures for the system. The
clear lexan was calibrated to a pre-determined air leakage rate by drilling 1/8" diameter holes on
the backside in a uniform pattern, making sure to create an even pressure drop and leakage rate
across the wall and in each quadrant. The exterior of the test unit was sealed to the wood buck
with silicone.
Cavity Depth: 14.3 mm (9/16")
