This standard is applicable to laboratory testing of air permeability, water tightness, wind pressure resistance of building curtain walls. The testing objects are limited to the curtain wall specimen itself, as well as its connection structure with other structures.

2 Normative references

The following documents are essential to the application of this document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) is applicable to this standard.

3 Terms and definitions

The terms and definitions, which are defined in GB/T 34327, as well as the following terms and definitions, apply to this document. 3.1 Standard condition The test conditions where the air temperature is 293 K (20 °C), the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa (760 mm Hg), the air density is 1.202 kg/m3. 3.2 Pressure difference The absolute air pressure difference -- between the indoor and outdoor surfaces of the specimen. Note. When the surface pressure on the outdoor is higher than the surface pressure on the indoor, the pressure difference is positive; otherwise, it is negative. 3.3 Air permeability performance The ability of the specimen to prevent air leakage, when the openable part is closed. 3.4 Watertightness performance When the openable part is in a closed state, the specimen's ability to prevent rainwater from leaking indoor, under the simultaneous action of wind and rain. 3.5 Wind load resistance performance When the openable part is in a closed state, under the action of wind pressure, the deformation of the main stress-bearing components of the specimen does not exceed the allowable value and no structural damage or functional impairment occurs. 3.6 Grade testing Testing, which is carried out to determine the performance level of the specimen. 3.7 Engineering testing Testing, which is conducted to determine whether the specimen meets the performance requirements of the engineering design.

4 General requirements

4.1 The grading and index values of air permeability, watertightness, wind pressure resistance performance of building curtain walls shall comply with the requirements of GB/T 31433. 4.2 The testing shall be carried out, under the condition that the ambient temperature is not lower than 5 °C. 4.3 The order of grade testing should be carried out, in the order of air permeability and wind pressure deformation resistance p1, watertightness and wind pressure resistance repeated pressurization p2, design wind load standard value of wind pressure resistance product p3, design wind load value of wind pressure resistance product pmax. 4.5 The air permeability performance of a double-layer curtain wall is graded, based on its overall air permeability performance index. The watertightness performance of a double-layer curtain wall is graded, based on the watertightness performance index of the first layer of curtain wall, which has watertight requirements. For the wind pressure resistance of a double-layer curtain wall, the inner layer and outer layer are tested and graded, respectively. 4.6 Watertight performance testing is divided into stable pressurization method and fluctuating pressurization method. For engineering testing in tropical storm and typhoon areas, the fluctuating pressure method shall be used. 4.7 Necessary safety protection measures shall be taken during testing. Note. Safety protection includes protection of personnel and protection of instruments and equipment.

5 Testing principle

Install the full-scale specimen on the pressure box. Use the pressure supply device to form a stable pressure difference or a pressure difference that fluctuates according to a certain period, on both sides of the specimen, to simulate the state of the specimen when it is subjected to different wind loads.

6 Testing device

6.1 Composition The testing device consists of a pressure box, an installation cross frame, a pressure supply device (including air supply equipment, pressure control device), a water spray device, a measurement device (including a differential pressure meter, air flow measurement device, water flow meter, displacement meter). The structure of the testing device is as shown in Figure 1. 6.2 Requirements 6.2.1 The opening size of the pressure box shall be able to meet the installation requirements of the specimen. The box shall be able to withstand the pressure difference, that may occur during the testing process. 6.2.6 The measuring device shall meet the following requirements. 6.3 Calibration 6.3.1 Please refer to Appendix A, for the calibration method of air flow measurement system. 6.3.2 Please refer to Appendix B, for the calibration method of the sprinkler system.

7 Specimens and installation

7.1 The specimen shall be of sufficient size and configuration. It shall include typical vertical joints, horizontal joints, openable parts. The ratio of the openable parts to the total area of the specimen shall be close to that of the actual project. The specimen shall be able to represent the performance of typical parts of building curtain walls. 7.5 The all-glass curtain wall specimen shall have a complete span height; the width shall have at least 3 glass lateral grids or 4 glass ribs. 7.6 The unit type curtain wall shall have at least one unit, which has the same joints formed by the four sides of the unit and adjacent units as in the actual project; the height shall be greater than 2 floor high; the width shall not be less than 3 lateral grids. 7.7 Point-supported curtain wall specimens shall meet the following requirements. 7.8 The specimens of double-layer curtain walls shall meet the following requirements. 7.9 The installation of the specimen shall meet the design requirements; the stress condition shall be consistent with the actual situation; no special accessories shall be added or other additional measures shall be taken; the specimen shall be dry. 7.10 After the installation of the specimen is completed, it shall be confirmed by the relevant testing parties, before testing can be carried out. 7.11 The sealant shall be cured to meet the testing requirements.

8 Air permeability performance testing

8.1 Preparation before testing Before testing, the openable part of the specimen shall be opened and closed for no less than 5 times; it is finally closed tightly. 8.2 Testing procedures See Figure 2, for the pressurization sequence for grade testing. When the project has requirements for air permeability performance testing pressure, the testing pressure can be pressurized, according to the pressure required by the engineering design. The testing and pressurizing sequence is as shown in Figure 3. 8.3 Preparation for pressurization Before the positive pressure preparatory pressurization, open and close all openable parts of the specimen for 5 times; finally close them tightly. 8.4 Testing of air leakage 8.4.1 Determination of extraneous air leakage qf 8.4.1.1 Fully seal the openable gaps and inlaid gaps on the specimen OR seal the openable parts of the box. 8.4.2 Determination of the sum of extraneous air leakage and fixed part air leakage qfg 8.4.3 Determination of total volume of air leakage qz Testing after removing the sealing measures added to the specimen. The testing procedure is the same as 8.4.1.2. 8.5 Processing of testing data 8.5.1 Processing of grade testing data 8.5.1.4 Under the action of 100 Pa pressure difference, the volume of air leakage qA' per unit area is calculated, according to formula (6). 8.5.2 Processing of engineering testing data 8.5.2.1 Calculate the overall air leakage volume (including the openable part) qs and the air leakage volume of the openable part of the specimen qk, under the standard state and the pressure difference required by the design, according to formulas (1) ~ (5). 8.5.2.2 Calculate the air leakage volume per unit area (including the openable part) of the specimen qA' and the air leakage volume per unit of openable joint length of the openable part ql', under the design pressure difference, according to formulas (6) and (7). Positive pressure and negative pressure are calculated separately.

9 Watertightness performance testing

9.1 Preparation before testing After the specimen is installed, it shall be inspected. The testing can only be carried out, after it meets the design requirements. Before testing, the openable part of the specimen shall be opened and closed no less than 5 times. It is finally closed tightly. 9.2 Stable pressurization method Pressurize according to the sequence in Table 1 and Figure 4; follow the steps below. 9.4 Evaluation of watertightness performance The grade testing is based on the maximum pressure difference Δp, when no serious leakage occurs, in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 31433. ......
