ASTM E1105 Spray Rack, Field Pressure Kit and Other Test Equipment

ASTM E1105 Spray Rack Systems

Here at FTL we manufacture, calibrate and repair ASTM E1105 Spray Rack systems that are used to test windows, doors, wall assemblies and other components of a building’s envelope for water penetration resistance.

These calibrated spray racks meet the ‘field spray apparatus’ requirements outlined in the following standards, methods, and guidelines:

  • ASTM E1105:   Spray Apparatus
  • AAMA 502:    Spray Apparatus
  • AAMA 503:    Spray Apparatus
  • ASTM E2128:  Diagnostic Tool 

In addition, we also stock the the AAMA 501.2 Spray Wand, which is used as a test instrument for conducting a quality assurance and diagnostic water leakage field check on installed storefronts, curtainwalls, and slope glazed systems.

Traceable Reports

All of our equipment includes ‘official report documentation’ that had been verified for test methodology compliance and is traceable back to our ISO 17025 Test Facility that has also been an AAMA/FGIA Full Service Accredited Laboratory since 1988.  Our equipment is Calibrated, Tested, and Proven.

ASTM E1105 Pro Tips

What is the ASTM E1105 Test Method Exactly?

It is the ‘Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration on Installed Exterior Windows, Doors, and Curtain Walls, by Uniform or Cyclic Static Air Pressure Difference”.  

When is the ASTM E1105 Test Performed?

This test method is most often performed on new construction projects for Quality Control purposes to check both window and door products and their installation for water intrusion.  However, it can also be performed after construction is completed as part of a Forensic Water Leak Investigation.

What Test Instruments Will I Need?

  • ASTM E1105 ‘Spray Rack’ for exterior water spray (rain simulator)
  • ASTM E1105 ‘Field Pressure Test Kit’ for negative air (wind simulator)
 

How much Water Is Coming out of the ASTM E1105 Spray Rack?

  • The spray rack is calibrated to deliver approximately 5.0 GPH/FT2 (which correlates to 8 inches of rain per hour).
