1.05 Submittals

Shop Drawings
a) Furnish drawings showing panel layout, finishes, corners, custom geometry’s, locations of openings etc. Provide detailed drawings of joints, anchorage system, sealants, edge conditions, closures and other details as may be required for a weather tight installation. Distinguish between factory and field assembled work. No panels shall be fabricated until shop drawings have been approved by the architect.

Panel Sample

a) Submit full width panel sections of 8” long showing joints, insulation, profiles and finishes for architect’s approval.

1.06 Panel Performance Tests

The following performance tests are considered the minimum acceptable requirements:

1. Structural Test

a) ASTM E72 -The design load / deflection criteria and fastening pattern shall be verified from witnessed / audited tests using the “Chamber Method” in accordance with ASTM E72. The deflection criteria shall be L/180 for walls and L/240 for roof assemblies.

2. Air Infiltration and Water Penetration a) Rainscreen principle conforming joint

The rainscreen principle with pressure equalization chamber is present in all aspects of Kingspan insulated wall panel joint design to control rainwater penetration. The pressure equalization chamber is shielded from outside by an overlap between two impermeable panel facings thus minimizing rainwater passage into the joint driven by gravity and air pressure difference. Intercepted rainwater is drained effectively back to the exterior.

b) ASTM E283 -The air leakage shall not exceed 0.001cfm/sq. ft. of wall area at a pressure differential of 20psf when tested in accordance with ASTM E283.

c) ASTM E331 -There shall be no uncontrolled water penetration through the panel joints at a pressure differential of 20psf when tested in accordance with ASTM E331.

d) AAMA 501-94 -Methods of Test for Exterior Walls.

3. Thermal Resistance Tests

a) ASTM C518 Panels shall provide nominal thermal resistance of R=7.2 / inch thickness when tested in accordance with this standard.

4. Fatigue Test

a) Positive wind pressure and negative wind pressure (suction) are continually bending interior and exterior composite panels. The panel shall withstand at least 2 million alternate cycles of L/180 deflection without any evidence of delamination, foam core cracking or permanent deformation.

5. Freeze / Heat Cycling Test

a) Panels shall exhibit no delamination, surface blisters, permanent bowing or deformation when subjected to cyclic temperature extremes of -20°F (-29°C) to +180°F (+82°C) temperatures for twenty one (21), eight-hour cycles.

Adhesion Test a) ASTM D1623 -Panels are tested adhesion in accordance with this standard.
Humidity Test

a) Panels shall exhibit no delamination or metal interface corrosion when subjected to +140°F (+60°C) temperature and 100% relative humidity for a total of 1200 hours (50 days).

8. Autoclave Test

a) Panels shall exhibit no delamination or shrinkage/melting of the foam core from the metal skins after being subjected in an autoclave to a pressure of 2psig (13.8kPa) at a temperature of +218°F (+103°C) for a period of 2 1/2 hours.

9. Acoustics Test

a) ASTM E90 Panels meet sound transmission STC-25 when tested in accordance with this standard.

10. Toxicity Test

a) Panels shall meet the minimum standards of acceptance as required for fire gas toxicity established in article 15, part 1120 of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention Code.
