Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate and Calculation of Air Permeance of Building Materials

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The purpose of this test is to calculate an assigned air permeance of flexible sheet or rigid panel-type materials at a reference air pressure differential of 75 Pa. The results may be useful in determining suitability of that material as a component of an air retarder system.

4.2 This method does not address the installed air leakage performance of building materials. The installed performance of air retarder materials and air retarder systems is addressed in Specification E1677, Test Method D8052/D8052M, and Test Method E2357.
