Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Thermal Barriers in Fenestration Products

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Thermal barriers require sufficient structural strength to carry the loads imposed on fenestration members while reducing the heat transfer through the depth of the framing members throughout their service life.

5.2 Sustained gravity, bending and tensile loads that stress the thermal barrier (that is, glazing infill weight, wind loads, and glazing gasket pressure) are not covered by this test method.

5.3 The reader is encouraged to read AAMA TIR-A8 for further information on thermal barriers and testing.
