This document describes test protocols for evaluating the performance of building panels. It lists over 20 standardized testing methods for measuring properties like air and water leakage, structural strength, fire resistance, thermal insulation, and impact resistance. Tables are included that specify the fire rating, weight, thermal insulation, and maximum uniform load for panels of varying thicknesses. The document also provides contact information for the manufacturer of the tested panels.

The water penetration resistance test consists of sealing a chamber to the interior or exterior face of the test specimen to be tested, supplying or exhausting air to the chamber at the rate required to maintain the desired air pressure difference across the specimen. Simultaneous to the application of air pressure difference, water shall be applied to the exterior face at the required rate (table 2 and 3) while observing for any water penetration at the interior.

Materials testing is a vital component throughout the PVC industry. An understanding of the commonly used tests can help give you a competitive edge and ensure a quality end product.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Freeze-Thaw Cycling Tests Show no Loss of R-Value ...Lawrence Le Roux
The EPS Industry Alliance commissioned a study by Intertek EL SEMKO, an independent test laboratory. Intertek conducted environmental cycling tests using ASTM C1512-07, Standard
Test Method for Characterizing the Effect of Exposure to Environmental Cycling on Thermal Performance of Insulation Products.
These independent tests confirm the freeze-thaw and moisture resistance properties of EPS insulation. Test results confirm no loss in R-value or change in compressive strength for EPS.
Additionally, the results clearly demonstrate that EPS insulation does not absorb excessive amounts of moisture.
The E-Flex Guard is an Insulation Protector for Refrigeration Piping on Outdoor applications that comply w/ mandatory requirements, as specifically prescribed by the new Building/Residential/Energy Codes.UV Weather Protector & Vapor Retarder. #HVAC #HVACR http://www.airexmfg.com/eflex
