It is the result of several factors thatinclude, but are not limited to, induced stresses in the basematerial, fabrication methods, and installation and thermalforces. While oil canning is an aesthetic issue, structuralinte

If the
35、rmal spacers are required for insulation per-formance, the panel clip must be compatible with the thermalspacer to reduce secondary stresses due to walking.8. Panel and Clip Anchorage8.1 Afixing line is required to anchor roof panels in order tomaintain end alignment and to resist in-plane gravity a
36、ndthermal force components.8.2 Fasteners that penetrate the roof surface are permittedonly at panel endlaps, penetrations, fixing lines, rib reinforce-ments, and at roof termination lines. Details at these locationsshall allow for the expected thermal movement.8.3 Nails shall not be used where subje

Weather Tightness9.1 Panel-to-panel sidelap connections and endlaps shall beweathertight.9.2 Panels of maximum practicable lengths shall be used tominimize endlaps.9.3 Sealers:9.3.1 Sidelap SealerWhen the climate, roof slope, androof system design warrant, the standing seam
38、sidelap shallhave a sealer (see Note 3). When the sealer is factory applied,it shall remain in place and be protected during transit. In somecases, the panel geometry will provide the required protection.All sealers shall remain in place during panel installation andbe protected during storage and i
39、nstallation from any contami-nation and abrasion that unduly affects service.NOTE 3When the slope of the roof is steep, or when the roof systemis in a geographic area with little rainfall or snowfall, a sidelap or endlapsealer may not necessarily be required.9.3.1.1 The sealer shall be of sufficient
40、 size and shape to fillthe maximum void to be sealed and to ensure compression afterengagement. The minimum compression shall be 30 % byvolume, or the adhesion plus webbing characteristics shall beas required to maintain watertightness.An appropriate test willbe used to demonstrate the roof panel sy
41、stems resistance toponded water. The sealer shall remain flexible between 0F( 18C) and 140F (60C) to allow engagement and shallshow no signs of cracking when tested in accordance with TestMethod C765 (wrapped 180 over a 1-in. (25-mm) diametermandrel after4hat0F.Thesealer shall not be exposed afteras
42、sembly.9.3.1.2 The sealer shall be sufficiently resilient to maintainthe seal after the movement of joints due to fluctuation inexternal load or expansion and contraction, or both. Whentested in accordance with Specification D1667, the maximumset shall be 5 % if compression alone is required to main
43、tainthe seal. The sealer shall be capable of maintaining the abovelevel of watertightness after exposure to the service tempera-ture range, 40F ( 40C) to 200F (93C) unless local orproject conditions justify that the specifier impose a differentrange. This watertightness shall be independent of the t
44、empera-ture at the time of panel installation.9.3.1.3 The sealer shall be noncorrosive and non-staining toadjacent materials and shall exhibit these characteristics aftertesting in accordance withTest Method D3310, including waterand with elevated temperature exposures for 21 days at 160F(71C); the
45、rating shall not exceed 2. The sealer shall be fungusresistant and exhibit this property after testing in accordancewith Practice G21; the rating shall not exceed 1. In meat andpoultry processing facilities or other areas requiring USDAinspection, the sealer shall be chemically acceptable to USDAand
46、 shall be requested by the specifier. Appropriate FDAregulation(s) shall be included by the specifier when FDAcompliance is required.9.3.1.4 If the seam design utilizes sealant, and the locationof a clip component interrupts the sealant, the design shall notrely on differential movement between the
47、panel seam and theclip component.9.3.1.5 If the sidelap sealer is interrupted by the installationof a sidelap clip, and if required by the panel system design, theseal shall be completed around the clip. The performancecharacteristics of the supplemental sealer shall be equal to theprimary sidelap s
48、ealer. Both sealers aging characteristics shallsustain the above performance during the design service life ofthe roof.9.3.2 Endlap SealerThe panel endlap shall be sealed witheither field-applied tape or cartridge-type sealer, or both (seeNote). The endlap sealer shall be equal in performance to the
49、sidelap sealer. Minimal sealer exposure shall be allowed afterinstallation.9.3.2.1 The following requirements shall apply additionally.Cartridge sealers shall remain fluid, and sealing tapes shallrelease cleanly from any backing paper at temperatures rangingfrom 0F ( 18C) to 140F (60C). Backing paper shallrelease cleanly after exposure to moisture and when tested inaccordance with Test Method C879 using the Procedure,Alternative A.
