1、Designation: E1748 95 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forEvaluating the Engagement Between Windows and InsectScreens as an Integral System1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1748; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in t
2、he case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the static loadresistance of an insect scre
3、en in its functional position in awindow under load conditions prescribed by appropriate speci-fying authorities.1.2 This test method is applicable to insect screens largerthan 12 in. (300 mm) in least dimension that can be accessedfrom both the interior and exterior direction when the insectscreen
4、is in the functional position.1.3 This test method evaluates both the interior and exteriorstatic load resistance of the insect screen attachment to thewindow frame.1.4 This test method describes the apparatus and the proce-dure to be used for applying static loads to specimens.1.5 The values stated
5、 in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
6、It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles o

The ability of insect
16、screens to remain engageddepends on the magnitude, duration, repetition of loads, andthe method of engagement. The platen size and shape werechosen to prevent screen cloth damage during static loading.The 60-s duration was arbitrarily chosen to standardize this testmethod.5.2 This test method is not

18、alism or forced entry.NOTE 2The procedure described in ANSI/SMA 6001 is one methodthat has been developed for such evaluation.5.4 This test method is not intended for evaluating theretention of insect screens being used as a restraint of occu-pants within the building as a means of preventing accide

Apparatus6.1 Test FrameA reaction frame or box constructed toaccept and rigidly position
20、 the test specimen to permit appli-cation of load from both the interior and exterior directionswith sufficient clearances so as not to interfere with thedeflection or displacement of the test specimen under load. Testframes shall be constructed to permit vertical installation of thetest specimen. T
21、est frames are permitted to be rotated to thehorizontal position after the test specimen is installed tofacilitate testing using dead weights.6.2 Static Loading DeviceA load application device ordead weights capable of applying the specified static load to thetest specimen through a rigid circular p

(1 to 6 mm)to prevent cutting the insect screening during load application.The applied static load shall be measured to an accuracy of61 lb (4.5 N) of the total load applied to in
23、clude, ifappropriate, the mass of the insect screen and applied mass ofthe platen.7. Test Specimens7.1 The test specimen shall consist of the entire assembledinsect screen and its engagement into a window unit. Insectscreens shall be positioned in their functional position for alltests.7.1.1 Operati

25、ion and designengagement, each insect screen shall be tested separately.7.2 Test specimens shall be of the greatest dimension inboth directions for which conformance is desired, unlessotherwise prescribed by the specifying authority.NOTE 3Test specimen performance is likely to be a function of sizea
26、nd geometry.8. Information Required8.1 In specifying this test method, the specifying authorityshall supply the following information:8.1.1 The interior and exterior static load, and8.1.2 The number and location of deflection or displacementmeasurements required during and after removal of load, ifa

Place all insect screensin their functional position.9.2 Operate the insect screen (except as noted in 9.2.3) fivetimes prior to testing. After operation, position the test appa-ratu
29、s so that one side of the test specimen faces the staticloading device.9.2.1 Fixed removable insect screens shall be removed andinstalled five times.9.2.2 Operating insect screens shall be moved to their fullyopened and then fully closed positions, (or moved from theirfunctional to stored positions
30、and then back again) five times.9.2.3 Fixed, nonremovable insect screens shall require nooperation prior to testing.9.3 Apply the specified static load perpendicular to the testspecimen with the platen centered on the insect screen, that is,that point where diagonal lines drawn through the screencor
31、ners intersect. No dynamic forces are to be introduced intothe test during the loading of the specimen. After the load is atrest, it shall remain in position for a period of 60 6 5s.9.4 Remove load.9.5 Observe and report (see 10.1) any disengagement ordeformation.9.6 Inspect the insect screen for da
