4.0 Test Specification(s):

ASTM E 2357-05, Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage of Air Barrier Assemblies. ASTM E 283, Standard Test Method for Determining Rate of Air Leakage Through Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors Under Specified Pressure Differences Across the Specimen. ASTM E 330, Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Exterior Windows, Doors, Skylights and Curtain Walls by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference.

A series of laboratory tests were performed to determine air leakage resistance, wind load performance, and durability of air barrier coating. The installations were tested for air leakage and structural performance testing using ASTM E 2357, ASTM E 283, and ASTM E 330. The durability of the selected installations is evaluated and re-testing for air leakage was performed.

5.0 Test Specimen Description: (Continued) 5.2 Wall #1: (Opaque Wall)

5.2.1 Test Wall Construction: The opaque wall was constructed of 2x6, 18 gauge galvanized steel studs, spaced 16" on center. The wall was sheathed with nominal 1/2" thick fiber-reinforced gypsum sheathing, secured with #6 x 1-1/4" long bugle head screws, spaced 8" on center. The sheathing was applied with one 8' long horizontal seam and two 4' long vertical seams. The wall utilized a 2x8 Spruce-Pine-Fir wood wrap around the perimeter to facilitate testing.

5.2.2 Test Wall Installation: The joints of sheathing were sealed with Pecora XL-Flash liquid flashing and joint filler. The wall was then covered with XL-Perm Ultra VP liquid-applied air barrier. The air barrier material was blue in color and was rolled onto the wall at a thickness of 14 mils (wet). The perimeter of the wall was sealed to the wood test wrap with silicone.

5.3 Wall #2: (Penetrated Wall)

5.3.1 Test Wall Construction: The penetrated wall was constructed of 2x6, 18 gauge galvanized steel studs, spaced 16" on center. The wall was sheathed with nominal 1/2" fiber-reinforced gypsum sheathing, secured with #6 x 1-1/4" long bugle head screws, spaced 8" on center. The sheathing was applied with one 8' long horizontal seam and two 4' long vertical seams. The penetrations included a 625 mm x 1225 mm rough opening with a 600 mm x 1200 mm wood window blank, a 100 mm x 100 mm HVAC duct, a 38 mm PVC pipe, and two junction box penetrations; one square and one octagon per ASTM E 2357. The wall utilized a 2x8 Spruce-Pine-Fir wood wrap around the perimeter to facility testing.

5.3.2 Test Wall Installation: The joints of the sheathing and the perimeter of the penetrations were sealed with Pecora XL-Flash liquid flashing and joint filler. The wall was then covered with XL-Perm Ultra VP liquid-applied air barrier. The air barrier material was blue in color and was rolled onto the wall at a thickness of 14 mils (wet). The perimeter of the wall was sealed to the wood test wrap with silicone. The window blank was sealed to the wall with Pecora XL-Flash liquid flashing and joint filler. Each brick tie utilized Pecora XL-Flash liquid flashing and joint filler over the screw heads.
