1.1 These test methods cover procedures for determining strength properties under specified loads for rigid-faced structural insulated panels. These test methods are appropriate for structural insulated panels with rigid facings having a minimum thickness of 4 mm (0.16 in.) and an insulating core with a minimum thickness of 38 mm (1.5 in.). These specified loads include:
1.1.1 Transverse loads,
1.1.2 Axial loads,
1.1.3 Shear loads,
1.1.4 Diaphragm loads,
1.1.5 Uplift loads,
1.1.6 Long Term loads
1.1.7 Impact loads, and
1.1.8 Concentrated loads.
1.2 Structural insulated panels are intended to resist structural loads in permanent building structures.
1.3 These test methods are not intended for quality control purposes and do not evaluate the individual components of the structural insulated panels.
1.4 These test methods are not intended to measure dimensional stability.
1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes, excluding tables and figures, which provide explanatory information. These notes and footnotes shall not be considered requirements of the standard.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
