3.1
Test pressure

differential air pressure between the two faces of the test specimen, expressed in Pascals (Pa)

3.2
positive pressure
when the outer face is subjected to higher air pressure than the inner face
3.3
negative pressure
when the outer face is subjected to lower air pressure than the inner face
3.4
air permeability

passage of air through the curtain walling when subjected to positive or negative air pressure

The volume being expressed as a rate in cubic metres per hour (m /h), this rate being related to the

overall area of the curtain walling. Alternatively, the rate can be related to the metre length of joint

3.5
fixed joint
all joints except openable joints of the curtain walling (see Figure 3)
