<br />PRODUCT TESTED:Foamcore Model 37 Raised Panel 9'-0 x 8'-0 <br /> <br />TEST NUMBER:WC93_004-110 <br /> <br />TEST REQUIREMENT: To remain intact at a simulated 110 MFH Wind load <br /> <br />DATE: 8-27-93 <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT AS TESTED: <br />polyurethane core section has a .009" steel exterior skin and <br />poly/laminate liner on the interior. <br />Muntins and endstiles are 20 gauge HOG pre-painted steel. <br />(5) 2" 18 gauge struts per drawing <br />.036 Steel Astragal Retainer <br />Plastic rollers <br />(1) Extra Track Jamb Bracket <br />(1) :Row of lites, styrene Frames. <br /> <br />DBAwntG NUMBERS:SF-37-1 <br /> <br />TEST PROCEDURE: The test consisted of installing and sealing the <br />specimen in the open wall of 4. test chamber located at Wayne- <br />Dal.ton Corp., Mt. Bope,Oh1.o. A large blower supplied air at a <br />sufficient rate to maJ.nta1.n test pressure difference across the <br />specimen. Pressure difference was measured by means of a manometer <br />in inches of water and converted to PSF. ~e compOsition and <br />struct~l support of the test .specimen were in all significant <br />respects exactly as shown on the referenced drawings, and as will <br />be sold for use in buildings. Tape was applied over the lites for <br />safety reasons. <br />Conversion factors PSF = inches of Water x 5.197 <br />PSF = .00256 x MPB x MPH <br /> <br />WITNESSES: Dave Monsour, Roger Dague, Steve Fox, Norm Lelless <br /> <br />RESULTS: <br /> <br />+31_0_PSF was obtained <br /> <br />OBSERVATIONS:Door relJUlined intact and there was no apparent <br />damage to the track or hardware, sections creased ):)etween <br />the muntins. <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS: <br />This test demonstrated the ability of a 9' x 8' Foamcore as <br />defined by drawing '~37-1, to reIJUlin in its opening under a <br />simulated 110 MPB wind. <br />
