Curtain Walling - Watertightness - Laboratory test under dynamic condition of air pressure and water spray

This European Standard defines an additional test method which may be used when assessing the watertightness of curtain walling, both its fixed and openable parts. It is a supplementary test, not required for classification purposes, and it should be used only when the project specifier has determined its necessity.
This European Standard describes how the outside face of a curtain walling specimen should be subjected to a continuous spray of water and a turbulent airflow, with continuous pulses of positive air pressure on the outside of the test specimen generated from within the chamber.
This European Standard applies to any curtain walling product as defined in EN 13830.

Vorhangfassaden - Schlagregendichtheit - Laborprüfung mit wechselndem Luftdruck und Besprühen mit Wasser

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein zusätzliches Prüfverfahren fest, das zur Beurteilung der Schlagregendichtheit von Vorhangfassaden, sowohl von ortsfesten als auch zu öffnenden Teilen, angewendet werden kann. Bei der Prüfung handelt es sich um eine ergänzende Prüfung, die nicht für Klassifizierungs-zwecke gefordert wird, und sie sollte nur dann angewendet werden, wenn der Projektmanager deren Notwendigkeit festgelegt hat. Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt, wie die Außenseite des Prüfkörpers einer Vorhangfassade kontinuierlich mit Wasser besprüht und einem turbulenten Luftstrom, einschließlich kontinuierlich im Innern der Kammer erzeugten positiven Luftdruckstößen an der Außenseite des Prüfkörpers, ausgesetzt werden sollte. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für jede Art von Vorhangfassaden, wie sie in EN 13830 festgelegt sind.

Façades rideaux - Etanchéité à l'eau - Essai en laboratoire sous pression d'air dynamique et projection d'eau

La présente Norme européenne définit une autre méthode d'essai qui peut être utilisée pour évaluer
l'étanchéité à l'eau des façades rideaux et de leurs parties fixes et manoeuvrables. Il s'agit d'un essai
supplémentaire qui n'est pas requis à des fins de classification et qu'il convient d'utiliser uniquement lorsque
le prescripteur du projet en a défini la nécessité.
Elle décrit la façon dont il convient que la face externe d'une façade rideau soit soumise à une projection
continue d'eau et à un courant d'air turbulent avec impulsions continues de pression d'air positive sur la face
externe du corps d’épreuve, générées depuis l'intérieur de la chambre.
Cette Norme s'applique à tous les produits de façades rideaux conformes à l’EN 13830.

Obešene fasade - Neprepustnost za vodo - Laboratorijski preskus pri dinamičnem tlaku

Ta evropski standard določa dodatne preskusne metode, ki se lahko uporabijo, kadar ocenjujemo neprepustnost za vodo fasade, obešene s pritrjenimi in delno pritrjenimi deli. Gre za dodaten preskus, ki ni potreben za klasifikacijo in ki naj se uporablja samo takrat, kadar določevalec načrta ugotovi, da je potreben. Ta evropski standard opisuje, kako naj bo pročelje vzorca obešene fasade izpostavljeno neprekinjenemu pršenju vode in turbulentnemu zračnemu toku z neprekinjenimi sunki pozitivnega zračnega pritiska na zunanji strani preskusnega vzorca, ustvarjenimi v komori. Ta evropski standard velja za vse proizvode obešenih fasad, kot je določeno v EN 13830.

This chamber shall be of sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the test pressures likely to be imposed during the tests. It shall not deflect under test pressure to any extent which would affect the performance of the test specimen (Figure 2). Adequately representative structural supports shall be provided to which the specimen shall be attached in accordance with the conditions of use in the works (see also Clause 6). 5.2 A means for applying controlled positive test pressures to the specimen arranged such that the air does not impinge directly on the specimen with any significant velocity. 5.3 A means by which rapidly controlled changes of test pressure may be produced within defined limits. 5.4 A means of measuring the applied test pressures, steady or fluctuation, calibrated within an accuracy of ± 5 %. 5.5 An adjustable device for spraying water at a minimum of 2 l/m²·min so that a constant and continuous film is applied to the outside surface of the specimen. The water spraying device shall have nozzles spaced on a regular grid and at a uniform distance from the outside surface of the specimen (see Figures 3 and 4). The local mains water supply will be an acceptable source providing it is clean enough to allow the spray nozzles to function properly throughout the test. The nozzles shall include the following features:  Circular full cone spray;  Spray angle minimum 90° to maximum 120°;  Working pressure range two to three bars according to the manufacturer’s specification. 5.6 A means of measuring the total amount of water supplied within an
