PERFORMANCE
- Maintains Class A rating with 29mph wind velocity @ 3 in/hr rainfall rate @ Max. intake core velocity – 983 fpm ( 5.0 m/s)
- Maintains Class A rating with 50mph wind velocity @ 8 in/hr rainfall rate @ Max. intake core velocity — 8 94 fpm ( 4.5 m/s)
- Beginning point of water penetration (@0.01oz. / ft2 of free area) — 1, 250 fpm ( 6.35 m/s)
- Free Area: 55.6 %, based on a test sample of 48 in (1219 mm) x 48 in (1219 mm)
- Intake pressure drop at beginning point of water penetration – 0. 48 in. wg ( 119 Pa
- Intake pressure drop @ 987 fpm free area velocity — 0. 30 6 in. wg ( 76 Pa)
- Discharge loss coefficient Classification — Class 3
WIND DRIVEN PERFORMANCE
The louver test was based on a 39.375 in. (1.0 m) x 39.375 in. (1.0 m) core area unit tested at a
rainfall rate
of 3 in. per hour (75 mm/hr) and with a wind directed to the face of the louver at a
velocity 29mph (13 m/s) as well as a rainfall rate of 8” per hour (203 mm) and a wind of 50 mph
(23.3 m/s). The test data shall show the water penetration effectiveness ra
ting at each
corresponding ventilation rate.
