>Performance Testing

1. AIR PERMEABILITY

  • Different pressures are applied incrementally up to specified pressures. Air infiltration or exfiltration are measured by air flowmeters.

2. WATER PENETRATION

  • Static, Dynamic and Cyclic tests.

  • Water is delivered at rates of up to 10 litre per minute per meter square through a matrix of spray nozzles 700mm centre to centre.

  • Differential pressures are applied incrementally to specified static,dynamic or cyclic pressures.

3. STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE

  • Static negative or positive pressures up to 12 KPa are applied
    incrementally.

  • Cyclic negative & positive pressures of a few seconds duration can
    also be applied.

4. LATERAL & VERTICAL

MOVEMENT

  • Lateral and vertical movement up to +/– 75 mm are applied to number
    of cycles required.

5. THERMAL CYCLIC & CONDENSATION

6. HEVAC (LOUVRE)

  • Water Penetration Test

  • Discharge and Entry Loss Coefficient/ Pressure Loss

7. SITE TEST

  • Water Penetration
  • Air infiltration
