Standard Test Method for Quantification of Air Leakage in Low-Sloped Membrane Roof Assemblies
Also Known As:
The ASTM D8052/D8052M-17 standard provides a laboratory technique for determining the air leakage in low-sloped membrane roof assemblies. This test method is applicable for understanding the response of such roof assemblies to air pressure differences induced across the assembly. It also helps in assessing the effectiveness of different roofing components in providing resistance to air leakage through the roof assembly.
The standard emphasizes that the performance of a roof or its components depends on proper installation. Therefore, when applying the results of tests conducted using this test method, it is important to consider the correct installation practices.
It should be noted that this test method does not establish all the criteria necessary for the consideration of air movement in the design of a roof assembly. It specifically states that air intrusion in roofing systems is different from air leakage in roofing systems. For air intrusion tests for mechanically attached roof assemblies, Test Method D7586/D7586M should be used. The results obtained using this test method are intended for comparison purposes and may not represent the actual performance of the roof assembly in the field.
