Standards

This test method measures the thermal characteristics of windows, doors and glazed exterior wall sections under steady-state conditions. Specifically, measurements and calculations made using this procedure can be used to determine the thermal transmittance (air-to-air) or U-Factor, the air infiltration rate and/or the condensation resistance factor, hereafter called "CRF" for these products.

This guide outlines methods, equipment and materials applicable for cleaning architecturally finished aluminum after construction and for subsequent periodic maintenance. Methods outlined are intended for use on anodized or painted architectural products whether rolled or extruded shapes, including window and door frames, store fronts and entrances, curtain walls, mullions, columns, panels, hand rails, flag poles and hardware.

This specification describes test procedures and requirements for architectural quality aluminum oxide coatings applied to aluminum extrusions and panels for architectural products.

This guideline will permit the architect, owner and contractor to specify and obtain anodized aluminum finishes which will provide, with periodic maintenance, a superior level of performance in terms of film integrity, exterior weatherability, and general appearance for many years.

Includes 4/2015 Errata.

Guide to selecting pile weatherstrip and weatherseals used in windows and doors. Standards define requirements to restrict air and water infiltration. (editorially revised)
