Principle of the Test Method4.1 Air pressure is applied to the underside of an airpermeable assembly of a specified type of roofing elements.The diff
9、erence in air pressure across the assembly and thevolume air flow rate are measured and used to determine the airpermeability of the assembly.5. Significance and Use5.1 The air permeability of roofing systems constructedfrom discrete elements, as is the case for clay and concrete tileand slate roof
10、systems, is a critical factor in determining thewind resistance of the roof system. The ability of the roofsystem to relieve wind-induced uplift pressures as a result ofthe overall air permeability of the roof assembly relates to theresistance of the roof system to damage induced by wind.5.2 Natural
11、 wind conditions differ with respect to intensity,duration, and turbulence; these conditions are beyond themeans of this test method to simulate.6. Apparatus6.1 A plenum chamber is a rectangular box with a depth ofnot less than 1.64 ft (500 mm) or one-third of the least lateraldimension, whichever i
12、s the greater. The plenum chamber shallbe made airtight except for an open upper face to receive amounting board or cover panel, a tapping for a pressuredifference gage (relative to atmospheric pressure) and a con-nection to an air delivery pipe. The tapping shall be positionedto avoid direct alignm
13、ent with the air delivery pipe. The shapeand area of the mounting surface shall be capable of acceptingthe number of test samples specified in 8.1 as a minimum. Aschematic of the air permeability apparatus is shown in Fig. 1.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C15 onManufac

Check on Air-tightness of the Apparatus7.1 Close the top of the plenum chamber by attaching andsealing the edges of the mounting board or cover panel so thatthe plenum chamber is air-tight except where connected to thedelivery pipe.7.2 Supply air from the airflow generator to
21、 induce apressure difference between the inside and outside of theplenum chamber at test pressure but not less than 10.5 lbf/ft2(500 Pa). The air tightness of the plenum chamber shall beconsidered satisfactory if this pressure difference is maintainedwith an air flow-rate not exceeding 0.15 ft3/s (0
22、.004 m3/s).8. Test Specimen8.1 Select, at random, sufficient roofing elements and halfwidth elements, where appropriate, to assemble an array witha minimum of 4 unsealed elements. Roofing elements forcovering the perimeter of the mounting board shall be providedand are to be air-sealed at their appr

For doublelapped elements, lay elements with no gap between adjacentelements. For single lap elements, lay elements with maximumsidelap in or
