ASTM E1105 Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration of Installed Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls, by Uniform or Cyclic Static Air Pressure Difference -- eLearning Course

About this Course

his course is based on ASTM E1105 Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration of Installed Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls, by Uniform or Cyclic Static Air Pressure Difference. This test method covers the determination of the resistance of installed exterior windows, curtain walls, skylights, and doors to water penetration when water is applied to the outdoor face and exposed edges simultaneously with a static air pressure at the outdoor face higher than the pressure at the indoor face.

This course includes downloadable resources including a procedural outline and a pdf of the standard, instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. The course can be completed in about one hour.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify apparatus and related components used for field determination of water penetration, including arrangement of the apparatus and parameters for usage.
• Describe possible hazards that may occur during testing and precautions to be taken to avoid injury.
• Recognize how test specimens are examined prior to testing, including what constitutes a pertinent observation.
• Recall requirements for the calibration and preparation of the apparatus, especially how catch boxes are arranged and used during calibration.
