1.1 This test method evaluates the longitudinal shear strength before and after thermal cycling for thermally broken composite thermal barriers used in framing of windows, doors, and skylights. It also evaluates the ability of a thermal barrier to maintain its longitudinal dimension after thermal cycling.
1.2 This test method is applicable to all fenestration products that are constructed with structural thermal barriers that are affixed along their length to the adjoining metal profile
1.3 This test method is meant to be applicable to many types of fenestration frame types and is not meant to be specific to any single frame construction type.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 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.
