PERFORMANCE TESTING RESULTS
Underwriters Laboratories
UL 580 Tests for Uplift Resistance of Roof Assemblies
This
test provides an index of roof type assemblies with respect to uplift
resistance. This test evaluates systems with regard to relative loading
capacity.(Class 30,60,90) This test induces strains that help to evaluate
possible panel or connection fatigue. This test helps reduce insurance
rates for end users. This test includes follow-up inspections and labeling
to ensure that the product furnished is the same as tested.
ASTM E 1592
This
test applies industry standard tests for uplift capacity This tests the
System is to failure to establish design capabilities. This test is used to
develope load/span tables for uplift capacity This test is run to failure
to establish design loads This test is prescribed by the AISI to determine
factors of safety. The test samples can be used to configure a
representative of different roof wind uplift zones.
US ARMY CORPS of
Engineers Guide Specification 07416
This
test is used as a confirming test for determining structural performance in
accordance with AISI. This test may be used to develop load/span tables.
This test uses testing of variable purlin spacing This test is run to
failure to establish design loads This tests an installed sample,
representing a typical roof edge condition. The test samples can be used to
configure a representative of different roof wind uplift zones.
Factory Mutual Approval
Standard 4471*
This
test includes testing for uplift, hail damage resistance, fire spread, and
foot traffic. This test is used to reduce insurance rates of projects
insured by a Factory Mutual insurance company. This test is used to meet
requirements of Factory Mutual design loads. This test evaluates uplift
capacity of roof systems relative to discreet loading classes. *Testing Pending
