Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Architectural Glass Products Under the Influence of Uniform Static Loads

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is a general procedure for testing architectural glass products under uniform static loads.

5.2 Loads on glass in windows, curtain walls, and doors may vary greatly in magnitude, direction, and duration. An understanding of wind loads on the building is required for selection of test loads and interpretation of results with respect to expected exposure at a particular site.

5.3 A thorough understanding of the variations of the strength of glass and the nature of loading is required to interpret results of this test method.

5.4 The proper use of this test method requires a knowledge of the principles of pressure, deflection, and strain measurement.
