Roof Uplift Test Equipment

The butler mr 24 roof system wind uplift testin g ensures that our metal roof is durable and able to withstand pressure from high winds.

Roof uplift test equipment.

To ensure a correctly built metal roof there are a variety of wind uplift tests manufacturers use to test their metal panel systems. The two pieces of plywood are fastened together and attached to the tripod with mechanical fasteners. Tests for uplift resistance of roof assemblies. 1 1 the method of test specified in this standard is intended to determine the uplift resistance of roof assemblies consisting of the roof deck and roof covering materials.

Video clip from the test rig in the clip below aluminium standing seam roofing is tested under simulated wind suction. To be exact the mr 24 roof system is prepared to withstand winds of approximately 120 or 200 miles per hour and pressure of 45 to 105 pounds. The plywood is then adhered to the smooth roof surface with steep asphalt cold adhesive or a material which is compatible with the roof system. The test frame has the appropriate roof deck attached to supports.

Adhesion pulltester with uplift fixture and 24 x24 plate includes uplift kit and pulling plate reusable metal pulling plate. Design and performance requirements there are three tests ul 580 ul 1897 and astm e1592 that are used to determine a metal roof s uplift rating. The bonded uplift test utilizes two two foot by two foot pieces of plywood connected to a tripod. These tests are necessary to understand how a metal roof system can withstand both external and internal pressures which is important when trying to meet design and performance requirements in projects.

Mechanically fastened low medium and high profile tiles are tested for uplift resistance 120 tests completed thus far mechanical uplift testing. We offer dynamic wind loading and wind uplift tests for walls including external wall insulation ewi systems façades roofing membrane and insulation rainscreens pitched and flat roofing solar panels and veture kits.
