Standard Test Method for Door Systems Subject to Airblast Loadings

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method provides standardized procedures that must be followed to establish that a particular door assembly meets a defined damage category (Table 1). Test results can be used to specify a door assembly for a particular pressure/time loading and damage level.

5.2 When a door system is subjected to this test method, it does not imply that a door system of visually similar design will resist the same applied test load. The probability that a single door assembly will resist the specified air blast pressure for which it is certified increases with the number of test specimens used to certify the door design. See Annex A1 for additional statistical considerations.

5.3 Arena testing and shock tube testing may not translate to equivalent results from one method to the other. A specifier may require testing using one method instead of the other. The specifier should be consulted prior to the initiation of any testing.
