<br />PRODUCT TESTED:Foamcore Raised Panel Model 37 16'-0" x 8'-0" <br /> <br />TEST NUMBER:WC93.009-110 <br /> <br />TEST REQUIREMENT: To remain intact at a simulated 110 MFH Wind load <br /> <br />DATE: 9-1-93 <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT AS TESTED: <br />Polyurethane core section has an exterior skin of .009" steel <br />and pOly\laminate liner on the interior <br />(10) 3" 20 gauge struts modified per drawing <br />Muntins and Endstiles pre-painted HOG 20 gauge steel <br />.036 Metal Retainer <br />Plastic rollers <br />(4) Track Jamb Bracket per side <br />14 Gauge End Hinges <br /> <br />DRAWING NUMBERS:SF-37-2 <br /> <br />..- <br /> <br />It <br />TEST PROCEDURE: The test consisted of installing and sealing the <br />specimen in the open wall of a test chamber located at Wayne- <br />Dalton Corp., Mt. Hope,O~o. A large blower supplied air at a <br />sufficient rate to maintain 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. The composition and <br />structural 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 /> <br />Conversion Factors <br />PSF = Inches of Water x 5.197 <br />PSF = .00256 x MPH x MFH <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 remained intact, there was creasing of the" <br />exterior skin and deformation of the track and hinges. <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS: I <br />This test demonstrated the ability of a 16' x 8' Foamcore as <br />defined by drawing 'SF-37-2, to remain in it opening under a <br />simulated 110 MPH wind. <br />
