Roof uplift test equipment.

Video clip from the test rig in the clip below aluminium standing seam roofing is tested under simulated wind suction. The bonded uplift test utilizes two two foot by two foot pieces of plywood connected to a tripod. For mechanically attached single ply roofing systems the test involves building a roof assembly on a test frame that measures 12 feet by 24 feet. The uplift fastener tester is specially designed for the following domains.

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. Adhesion pulltester with uplift fixture and 24 x24 plate includes uplift kit and pulling plate reusable metal pulling plate. The two pieces of plywood are fastened together and attached to the tripod with mechanical fasteners. 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 specific test that pertains to wind uplift utilizes a test apparatus designed by fm approvals. To ensure a correctly built metal roof there are a variety of wind uplift tests manufacturers use to test their metal panel systems. 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. 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.
