STATIC PRESSURE WAS OBTAINED AND HELD FOR A MINIMlJlt,i OF TEN SECONDS. THE DOOR REMAINED INTACT AND OPERABLE, SOME CREASING OF SECTlONS AND ROTATION OF BOTTOM BRACKETS WERE NOTED. -~O.O P.S.F. STATIC PRESSURE WAS OBTAINED AND HELD FOR A MtNtMUft.f OF TEN SECONDS. THE DOOR REMAlNED INT ACr AND OPERABLE. SOME CREASING OF SECTIONS AND ROTATION OF BOTIOM BRACKETS WERE NOTED. CONCLUSION: TIllS TEST DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY OF A 9'X7' FOAMCORE, AS ASSEM13LED PER DRAWING WP9S.014. TO REMAIN INTACT AND OPl!RABLE AFTER ENDURING A STATIC PRESSURE OF +40.0 P.S,F. AND 40.0 P.S.F. APPROVAL BY SIMILARITY: DOORS USTED OF A LESSER WIDTH AND OTHERWISE THE SMlE ARE APPROVED BY SlMlLARITY. TI-IERE CAPABILITY TO WITI[ STAND PRESSURE IS EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN THE DOORS TESTED. REDUCiNG 1HE WIDTH OF A DOOR REDUCES THE STRESS ON IT AND CAUSES LESS LOAD TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE ROLLERS, TRACK, AND BRACKETS. " DOORS LISTED OF A LESSER HEIGHT AND OTHERWISE THE SM1E ARE APPROVED BY SIMiLARITY. THESE DOORS ltA VE THE SAME STRUCTURAL ABILITY AS THE DOORS TESTED, BUT WILL HAVE LESS LOADING AT EQUIVALENT PRESSURES DUE TO TIlE DECREASE IN AREA. 8 FOOT, 5 PAl'I"EL DOORS, LISTED, ARE APPROVED BY SIMILARITY. CAtCULATIONS SHOW TIlAT AN 8 FOOT,S PANEL, DOOR HAS 125% MORE STRENGTH IN STRUTTING A-ND ONLY 115% MORE AREA TO BE LOADED, FOR A COMPARISON TEST REFER 'fa REPORT WP95.001. APPROVED OPTIONS: BASED ON OTHER TESTS AS BEING EQUl VALENT: ALUMINUM LOUVERS (TEST #WC93.007) STYRENE WINDOW FRAME ASSEMBl.. Y (TEST HWC93.004 AND TEST #WP95.006) FLUSH PANEL (TEST# WP95.004)
